[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 4/5] libcamera: ipu3: Initialize controls in the IPA

Jacopo Mondi jacopo at jmondi.org
Tue Aug 10 17:12:10 CEST 2021


All the IPU3 Camera controls are currently initialized by the pipeline
handler which initializes them using the camera sensor configuration and
platform specific requirements.

However, some controls are better initialized by the IPA, which might,
in example, cap the exposure times and frame duration to the constraints
of its algorithms implementation.

Also, moving forward, the IPA should register controls to report its
capabilities, in example the ability to enable/disable 3A algorithms on
request.

Move the existing controls initialization to the IPA, by providing
the sensor configuration and its controls to the IPU3IPA::init()
function, which initializes controls and returns them to the pipeline
through an output parameter.

The existing controls initialization has been copied verbatim from the
pipeline handler to the IPA, if not a for few line breaks adjustments
and the resulting Camera controls values are not changed.
