It has the following limitations: +- you cannot read() more than one virtual memory page at a time +- read()s accross page boundaries are impossible (ie. if ypu read() 1/2 of + a page in the previous call, you will only be able to read() + _at_ _most_ 1/2 of the page in the next call) + +The device's write() operation is used for uploading the system memory snapshot +into the kernel. It has the same limitations as the read() operation. + +The release() operation frees all memory allocated for the snapshot image +and all swap pages allocated with SNAPSHOT_GET_SWAP_PAGE (if any). +Thus it is not necessary to use either SNAPSHOT_FREE or +SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES before closing the device (in fact it will also +unfreeze user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE if they are +still frozen when the device is being closed). + +Currently it is assumed that the userland utilities reading/writing the +snapshot image from/to the kernel will use a swap parition, called the resume +partition, as storage space. However, this is not really required, as they +can use, for example, a special (blank) suspend partition or a file on a partition +that is unmounted before SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT and mounted afterwards. + +These utilities SHOULD NOT make any assumptions regarding the ordering of +data within the snapshot image, except for the image header that MAY be +assumed to start with an swsusp_info structure, as specified in +kernel/power/power.h. This structure MAY be used by the userland utilities +to obtain some information about the snapshot image, such as the size +of the snapshot image, including the metadata and the header itself, +contained in the .size member of swsusp_info. + +The snapshot image MUST be written to the kernel unaltered (ie. all of the image +data, metadata and header MUST be written in _exactly_ the same amount, form +and order in which they have been read). Otherwise, the behavior of the +resumed system may be totally unpredictable. + +While executing SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE the kernel checks if the +structure of the snapshot image is consistent with the information stored +in the image header. If any inconsistencies are detected, +SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE will not succeed. Still, this is not a fool-proof +mechanism and the userland utilities using the interface SHOULD use additional +means, such as checksums, to ensure the integrity of the snapshot image. + +The suspending and resuming utilities MUST lock themselves in memory, +preferrably using mlockall(), before calling SNAPSHOT_FREEZE. + +The suspending utility MUST check the value stored by SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT +in the memory location pointed to by the last argument of ioctl() and proceed +in accordance with it: +1. If the value is 1 (ie. the system memory snapshot has just been + created and the system is ready for saving it): + (a) The suspending utility MUST NOT close the snapshot device + _unless_ the whole suspend procedure is to be cancelled, in + which case, if the snapshot image has already been saved, the + suspending utility SHOULD destroy it, preferrably by zapping + its header. If the suspend is not to be cancelled, the + system MUST be powered off or rebooted after the snapshot + image has been saved. + (b) The suspending utility SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any + file system operations (including reads) on the file systems + that were mounted before SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT has been + called. However, it MAY mount a file system that was not + mounted at that time and perform some operations on it (eg. + use it for saving the image). +2.

Overview and features +======================== +This driver supports the video interface of the devices mounting the ZC0301 +Image Processor and Control Chip. + +The driver relies on the Video4Linux2 and USB core modules. It has been +designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. + +The latest version of the ZC0301 driver can be found at the following URL: +http://www.linux-projects.org/ + +Some of the features of the driver are: + +- full compliance with the Video4Linux2 API (see also "Notes for V4L2 + application developers" paragraph); +- available mmap or read/poll methods for video streaming through isochronous + data transfers; +- automatic detection of image sensor; +- video format is standard JPEG; +- dynamic driver control thanks to various module parameters (see "Module + parameters" paragraph); +- up to 64 cameras can be handled at the same time; they can be connected and + disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if + the system supports hotplugging; + + +5. Module dependencies +====================== +For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux and +USB. + +The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and +corresponding modules must be compiled: + + # Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m + + # USB support + # + CONFIG_USB=m + +In addition, depending on the hardware being used, the modules below are +necessary: + + # USB Host Controller Drivers + # + CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m + +The ZC0301 controller also provides a built-in microphone interface. It is +supported by the USB Audio driver thanks to the ALSA API: + + # Sound + # + CONFIG_SOUND=y + + # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture + # + CONFIG_SND=m + + # USB devices + # + CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m + +And finally: + + # USB Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_USB_ZC0301=m + + +6. Module loading +================= +To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "zc0301" module into memory +after every other module required: "videodev", "usbcore" and, depending on +the USB host controller you have, "ehci-hcd", "uhci-hcd" or "ohci-hcd". + +Loading can be done as shown below: + + [root@localhost home]# modprobe zc0301 + +At this point the devices should be recognized. You can invoke "dmesg" to +analyze kernel messages and verify that the loading process has gone well: + + [user@localhost home]$ dmesg + + +7. Module parameters +==================== +Module parameters are listed below: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: video_nr +Type: short array (min = 0, max = 64) +Syntax: <-1|n[,...]> +Description: Specify V4L2 minor mode number: + -1 = use next available + n = use minor number n + You can specify up to 64 cameras this way. + For example: + video_nr=-1,2,-1 would assign minor number 2 to the second + registered camera and use auto for the first one and for every + other camera. +Default: -1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: force_munmap +Type: bool array (min = 0, max = 64) +Syntax: <0|1[,...]> +Description: Force the application to unmap previously mapped buffer memory + before calling any VIDIOC_S_CROP or VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl's.

Supported devices +==================== +None of the names of the companies as well as their products will be mentioned +here. They have never collaborated with the author, so no advertising. + +From the point of view of a driver, what unambiguously identify a device are +its vendor and product USB identifiers. Below is a list of known identifiers of +devices mounting the ZC0301 Image Processor and Control Chips: + +Vendor ID Product ID +--------- ---------- +0x041e 0x4017 +0x041e 0x401c +0x041e 0x401e +0x041e 0x4034 +0x041e 0x4035 +0x046d 0x08ae +0x0ac8 0x0301 +0x10fd 0x8050 + +The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver: up +until now only the ones that mount the following image sensors are supported; +kernel messages will always tell you whether this is the case: + +Model Manufacturer +----- ------------ +PAS202BCB PixArt Imaging, Inc. + + +9. Notes for V4L2 application developers +======================================== +This driver follows the V4L2 API specifications. In particular, it enforces two +rules: + +- exactly one I/O method, either "mmap" or "read", is associated with each +file descriptor. Once it is selected, the application must close and reopen the +device to switch to the other I/O method; + +- although it is not mandatory, previously mapped buffer memory should always +be unmapped before calling any "VIDIOC_S_CROP" or "VIDIOC_S_FMT" ioctl's. +The same number of buffers as before will be allocated again to match the size +of the new video frames, so you have to map the buffers again before any I/O +attempts on them. + + +10.

Introduction + + This is a driver for STMicroelectronics's CPiA2 (second generation +Colour Processor Interface ASIC) based cameras. This camera outputs an MJPEG +stream at up to vga size. It implements the Video4Linux interface as much as +possible. Since the V4L interface does not support compressed formats, only +an mjpeg enabled application can be used with the camera. We have modified the +gqcam application to view this stream. + + The driver is implemented as two kernel modules. The cpia2 module +contains the camera functions and the V4L interface. The cpia2_usb module +contains usb specific functions. The main reason for this was the size of the +module was getting out of hand, so I separted them. It is not likely that +there will be a parallel port version. + +FEATURES: + - Supports cameras with the Vision stv6410 (CIF) and stv6500 (VGA) cmos + sensors. I only have the vga sensor, so can't test the other. + - Image formats: VGA, QVGA, CIF, QCIF, and a number of sizes in between. + VGA and QVGA are the native image sizes for the VGA camera. CIF is done + in the coprocessor by scaling QVGA. All other sizes are done by clipping. + - Palette: YCrCb, compressed with MJPEG. + - Some compression parameters are settable. + - Sensor framerate is adjustable (up to 30 fps CIF, 15 fps VGA). + - Adjust brightness, color, contrast while streaming. + - Flicker control settable for 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency. + +2. Making and installing the stv672 driver modules: + + Requirements: + ------------- + This should work with 2.4 (2.4.23 and later) and 2.6 kernels, but has +only been tested on 2.6. Video4Linux must be either compiled into the kernel or +available as a module. Video4Linux2 is automatically detected and made +available at compile time. + + Compiling: + ---------- + As root, do a make install. This will compile and install the modules +into the media/video directory in the module tree. For 2.4 kernels, use +Makefile_2.4 (aka do make -f Makefile_2.4 install). + + Setup: + ------ + Use 'modprobe cpia2' to load and 'modprobe -r cpia2' to unload. This +may be done automatically by your distribution. + +3. Driver options + + Option Description + ------ ----------- + video_nr video device to register (0=/dev/video0, etc) + range -1 to 64. default is -1 (first available) + If you have more than 1 camera, this MUST be -1. + buffer_size Size for each frame buffer in bytes (default 68k) + num_buffers Number of frame buffers (1-32, default 3) + alternate USB Alternate (2-7, default 7) + flicker_freq Frequency for flicker reduction(50 or 60, default 60) + flicker_mode 0 to disable, or 1 to enable flicker reduction. + (default 0). This is only effective if the camera + uses a stv0672 coprocessor. + + Setting the options: + -------------------- + If you are using modules, edit /etc/modules.conf and add an options +line like this: + options cpia2 num_buffers=3 buffer_size=65535 + + If the driver is compiled into the kernel, at boot time specify them +like this: + cpia2.num_buffers=3 cpia2.buffer_size=65535 + + What buffer size should I use? + ------------------------------ + The maximum image size depends on the alternate you choose, and the +frame rate achieved by the camera. If the compression engine is able to +keep up with the frame rate, the maximum image size is given by the table +below. + The compression engine starts out at maximum compression, and will +increase image quality until it is close to the size in the table. As long +as the compression engine can keep up with the frame rate, after a short time +the images will all be about the size in the table, regardless of resolution. + At low alternate settings, the compression engine may not be able to +compress the image enough and will reduce the frame rate by producing larger +images. + The default of 68k should be good for most users. This will handle +any alternate at frame rates down to 15fps. For lower frame rates, it may +be necessary to increase the buffer size to avoid having frames dropped due +to insufficient space. + + Image size(bytes) + Alternate bytes/ms 15fps 30fps + 2 128 8533 4267 + 3 384 25600 12800 + 4 640 42667 21333 + 5 768 51200 25600 + 6 896 59733 29867 + 7 1023 68200 34100 + + How many buffers should I use? + ------------------------------ + For normal streaming, 3 should give the best results. With only 2, +it is possible for the camera to finish sending one image just after a +program has started reading the other. If this happens, the driver must drop +a frame. The exception to this is if you have a heavily loaded machine. In +this case use 2 buffers. You are probably not reading at the full frame rate. +If the camera can send multiple images before a read finishes, it could +overwrite the third buffer before the read finishes, leading to a corrupt +image. Single and double buffering have extra checks to avoid overwriting. + +4. Using the camera + + We are providing a modified gqcam application to view the output. In +order to avoid confusion, here it is called mview. There is also the qx5view +program which can also control the lights on the qx5 microscope. MJPEG Tools +(http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net) can also be used to record from the camera. + +5. Notes to developers: + + - This is a driver version stripped of the 2.4 back compatibility + and old MJPEG ioctl API. See cpia2.sf.net for 2.4 support. + +6.

There are two versions. The first is the +STV0672, which is capable of up to 30 frames per second (fps) in frame sizes +up to CIF, and 15 fps for VGA frames. The STV0676 is an improved version, +which can handle up to 30 fps VGA. Both coprocessors can be attached to two +CMOS sensors - the vvl6410 CIF sensor and the vvl6500 VGA sensor. These will +be referred to as the 410 and the 500 sensors, or the CIF and VGA sensors. + +The two chipsets operate almost identically. The core is an 8051 processor, +running two different versions of firmware. The 672 runs the VP4 video +processor code, the 676 runs VP5. There are a few differences in register +mappings for the two chips. In these cases, the symbols defined in the +header files are marked with VP4 or VP5 as part of the symbol name. + +The cameras appear externally as three sets of registers. Setting register +values is the only way to control the camera. Some settings are +interdependant, such as the sequence required to power up the camera. I will +try to make note of all of these cases. + +The register sets are called blocks. Block 0 is the system block. This +section is always powered on when the camera is plugged in. It contains +registers that control housekeeping functions such as powering up the video +processor. The video processor is the VP block. These registers control +how the video from the sensor is processed. Examples are timing registers, +user mode (vga, qvga), scaling, cropping, framerates, and so on. The last +block is the video compressor (VC). The video stream sent from the camera is +compressed as Motion JPEG (JPEGA). The VC controls all of the compression +parameters. Looking at the file cpia2_registers.h, you can get a full view +of these registers and the possible values for most of them. + +One or more registers can be set or read by sending a usb control message to +the camera. There are three modes for this. Block mode requests a number +of contiguous registers. Random mode reads or writes random registers with +a tuple structure containing address/value pairs. The repeat mode is only +used by VP4 to load a firmware patch. It contains a starting address and +a sequence of bytes to be written into a gpio port.
