|
||||
<para>Media devices increasingly handle multiple related functions. Many USB
|
||||
cameras include microphones, video capture hardware can also output video,
|
||||
or SoC camera interfaces also perform memory-to-memory operations similar to
|
||||
video codecs.</para>
|
||||
<para>Independent functions, even when implemented in the same hardware, can
|
||||
be modelled as separate devices. A USB camera with a microphone will be
|
||||
presented to userspace applications as V4L2 and ALSA capture devices. The
|
||||
devices' relationships (when using a webcam, end-users shouldn't have to
|
||||
manually select the associated USB microphone), while not made available
|
||||
directly to applications by the drivers, can usually be retrieved from
|
||||
sysfs.</para>
|
||||
<para>With more and more advanced SoC devices being introduced, the current
|
||||
approach will not scale. Device topologies are getting increasingly complex
|
||||
and can't always be represented by a tree structure. Hardware blocks are
|
||||
shared between different functions, creating dependencies between seemingly
|
||||
unrelated devices.</para>
|
||||
<para>Kernel abstraction APIs such as V4L2 and ALSA provide means for
|
||||
applications to access hardware parameters. As newer hardware expose an
|
||||
increasingly high number of those parameters, drivers need to guess what
|
||||
applications really require based on limited information, thereby
|
||||
implementing policies that belong to userspace.</para>
|
||||
<para>The media controller API aims at solving those problems.</para>

<title>Media device model</title>
|
||||
<para>Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime,
|
||||
is one of the goals of the media controller API. To achieve this, hardware
|
||||
devices are modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities
|
||||
connected through pads.</para>
|
||||
<para>An entity is a basic media hardware or software building block. It can
|
||||
correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware
|
||||
devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building
|
||||
block in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or
|
||||
physical connectors.</para>
|
||||
<para>A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact
|
||||
with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
|
||||
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should not
|
||||
be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.</para>
|
||||
<para>A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads,
|
||||
either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
|
||||
pad to a sink pad.</para>
