The +mailboxes are basically a fixed length array that serves as the call-stack. + +Firmware mailboxes can be located by searching the encoder and decoder memory +for a 16 byte signature. That signature will be located on a 256-byte boundary. + +Signature: + +.. code-block:: none + + 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, + 0x34, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x78 + +The firmware implements 20 mailboxes of 20 32-bit words. The first 10 are +reserved for API calls. The second 10 are used by the firmware for event +notification. + + ====== ================= + Index Name + ====== ================= + 0 Flags + 1 Command + 2 Return value + 3 Timeout + 4-19 Parameter/Result + ====== ================= + + +The flags are defined in the following table. The direction is from the +perspective of the firmware. + + ==== ========== ============================================ + Bit Direction Purpose + ==== ========== ============================================ + 2 O Firmware has processed the command. + 1 I Driver has finished setting the parameters. + 0 I Driver is using this mailbox. + ==== ========== ============================================ + +The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in this +chapter. + +The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined: + +- 0=success +- -1=command undefined. + +There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields +with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites +these fields with result values returned by the call. + +The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver +doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware +will reset that mailbox. + +To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the +first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills +in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The +driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the +mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates +the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call +complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results +and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the +time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox. + +Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host. The host tells the +firmware which events it is interested in via an API call. That call tells the +firmware which notification mailbox to use. The firmware signals the host via +an interrupt. Only the 16 Results fields are used, the Flags, Command, Return +value and Timeout words are not used. + + +OSD firmware API description +---------------------------- + +.. note:: this API is part of

There will be mistakes +and omissions. Some registers have no obvious effect so it's hard to say what +they do, while others interact with each other, or require a certain load +sequence. Horizontal filter setup is one example, with six registers working +in unison and requiring a certain load sequence to correctly configure. The +indexed colour palette is much easier to set at just two registers, but again +it requires a certain load sequence. + +Some registers are fussy about what they are set to. Load in a bad value & the +decoder will fail. A firmware reload will often recover, but sometimes a reset +is required. For registers containing size information, setting them to 0 is +generally a bad idea. For other control registers i.e. 2878, you'll only find +out what values are bad when it hangs. + +.. code-block:: none + + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + 2800 + bit 0 + Decoder enable + 0 = disable + 1 = enable + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + 2804 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 1 + --------------- + 2808 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 2 + --------------- + 280C + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 3 + --------------- + 2810 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 4 + --------------- + 2814 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 5 + --------------- + 2818 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias trigger + + These six registers control the horizontal aliasing filter for the Y plane. + The first five registers must all be loaded before accessing the trigger + (2818), as this register actually clocks the data through for the first + five. + + To correctly program set the filter, this whole procedure must be done 16 + times.

This means it has a DMA +engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main +memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate +on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities +on virtual memory machines. + +Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can +transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large +contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers. + +In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers +above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is +important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally +allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is +urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique. + +Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information. + +Note: the hardware expects little-endian data ('intel format'). + +Flow +~~~~ + +This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA +transfers. Detailed information follows this section. + +- The card raises the Encoder interrupt. +- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10. +- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers + to cover the size. +- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call. +- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt. +- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors. +- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers. + +NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised +simultaneously.

Host +addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer. + +Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is +the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the +entire 32 bits. The lowest 18 bits of the third word is the transfer byte +count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells +the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if +you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will +most likely get corrupted. + +The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need +to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it +accordingly. + +Array Element: + +- 32-bit Source Address +- 32-bit Destination Address +- 14-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag) +- 18-bit byte count + +DMA Transfer Status +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status: + +- bit 0: read completed +- bit 1: write completed +- bit 2: DMA read error +- bit 3: DMA write error +- bit 4: Scatter-Gather array error + +Non-compressed file format +-------------------------- + +The cx23416 can produce (and the cx23415 can also read) raw YUV output. The +format of a YUV frame is specific to this chip and is called HM12. 'HM' stands +for 'Hauppauge Macroblock', which is a misnomer as 'Conexant Macroblock' would +be more accurate. + +The format is YUV 4:2:0 which uses 1 Y byte per pixel and 1 U and V byte per +four pixels. + +The data is encoded as two macroblock planes, the first containing the Y +values, the second containing UV macroblocks. + +The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels from left to right +and from top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + +So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block, the +second 16 bytes are the second line of the top-left block, etc. After +transmitting this block the first line of the block on the right to the +first block is transmitted, etc. + +The UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x8 UV values going from left +to right, top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + +So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block and +contain 8 UV value pairs (16 bytes in total). The second 16 bytes are the +second line of 8 UV pairs of the top-left block, etc. After transmitting +this block the first line of the block on the right to the first block is +transmitted, etc. + +The code below is given as an example on how to convert HM12 to separate +Y, U and V planes. This code assumes frames of 720x576 (PAL) pixels. + +The width of a frame is always 720 pixels, regardless of the actual specified +width. + +If the height is not a multiple of 32 lines, then the captured video is +missing macroblocks at the end and is unusable. So the height must be a +multiple of 32. + +Raw format c example +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: c + + #include <stdio.h> + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <string.h> + + static unsigned char frame[576*720*3/2]; + static unsigned char framey[576*720]; + static unsigned char frameu[576*720 / 4]; + static unsigned char framev[576*720 / 4]; + + static void de_macro_y(unsigned char* dst, unsigned char *src, int dstride, int w, int h) + { + unsigned int y, x, i; + + // descramble Y plane + // dstride = 720 = w + // The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels + // Each block in transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + for (y = 0; y < h; y += 16) { + for (x = 0; x < w; x += 16) { + for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) { + memcpy(dst + x + (y + i) * dstride, src, 16); + src += 16; + } + } + } + } + + static void de_macro_uv(unsigned char *dstu, unsigned char *dstv, unsigned char *src, int dstride, int w, int h) + { + unsigned int y, x, i; + + // descramble U/V plane + // dstride = 720 / 2 = w + // The U/V values are interlaced (UVUV...). + // Again, the UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 UV values. + // Each block in transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + for (y = 0; y < h; y += 16) { + for (x = 0; x < w; x += 8) { + for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) { + int idx = x + (y + i) * dstride; + + dstu[idx+0] = src[0]; dstv[idx+0] = src[1]; + dstu[idx+1] = src[2]; dstv[idx+1] = src[3]; + dstu[idx+2] = src[4]; dstv[idx+2] = src[5]; + dstu[idx+3] = src[6]; dstv[idx+3] = src[7]; + dstu[idx+4] = src[8]; dstv[idx+4] = src[9]; + dstu[idx+5] = src[10]; dstv[idx+5] = src[11]; + dstu[idx+6] = src[12]; dstv[idx+6] = src[13]; + dstu[idx+7] = src[14]; dstv[idx+7] = src[15]; + src += 16; + } + } + } + } + + /*************************************************************************/ + int main(int argc, char **argv) + { + FILE *fin; + int i; + + if (argc == 1) fin = stdin; + else fin = fopen(argv[1], "r"); + + if (fin == NULL) { + fprintf(stderr, "cannot open input\n"); + exit(-1); + } + while (fread(frame, sizeof(frame), 1, fin) == 1) { + de_macro_y(framey, frame, 720, 720, 576); + de_macro_uv(frameu, framev, frame + 720 * 576, 720 / 2, 720 / 2, 576 / 2); + fwrite(framey, sizeof(framey), 1, stdout); + fwrite(framev, sizeof(framev), 1, stdout); + fwrite(frameu, sizeof(frameu), 1, stdout); + } + fclose(fin); + return 0; + } + + +Format of embedded V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data +--------------------------------------------------------- + +Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> + + +This section describes the V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV format of the VBI data +embedded in an MPEG-2 program stream. This format is in part dictated by some +hardware limitations of the ivtv driver (the driver for the Conexant cx23415/6 +chips), in particular a maximum size for the VBI data. Anything longer is cut +off when the MPEG stream is played back through the cx23415. + +The advantage of this format is it is very compact and that all VBI data for +all lines can be stored while still fitting within the maximum allowed size. + +The stream ID of the VBI data is 0xBD. The maximum size of the embedded data is +4 + 43 * 36, which is 4 bytes for a header and 2 * 18 VBI lines with a 1 byte +header and a 42 bytes payload each. Anything beyond this limit is cut off by +the cx23415/6 firmware. Besides the data for the VBI lines we also need 36 bits +for a bitmask determining which lines are captured and 4 bytes for a magic cookie, +signifying that this data package contains V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data. +If all lines are used, then there is no longer room for the bitmask. To solve this +two different magic numbers were introduced: + +'itv0': After this magic number two unsigned longs follow. Bits 0-17 of the first +unsigned long denote which lines of the first field are captured. Bits 18-31 of +the first unsigned long and bits 0-3 of the second unsigned long are used for the +second field. + +'ITV0': This magic number assumes all VBI lines are captured, i.e. it implicitly +implies that the bitmasks are 0xffffffff and 0xf. + +After these magic cookies (and the 8 byte bitmask in case of cookie 'itv0') the +captured VBI lines start: + +For each line the least significant 4 bits of the first byte contain the data type. +Possible values are shown in the table below. The payload is in the following 42 +bytes. + +Here is the list of possible data types: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_TELETEXT 0x1 // Teletext (uses lines 6-22 for PAL) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_CC 0x4 // Closed Captions (line 21 NTSC) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_WSS 0x5 // Wide Screen Signal (line 23 PAL) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_VPS 0x7 // Video Programming System (PAL) (line 16) + |
