[libcamera-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/1] ipa: raspberrypi: Use CamHelpers to generalise embedded data parsing

David Plowman david.plowman at raspberrypi.com
Wed Mar 10 18:23:48 CET 2021


CamHelpers get virtual Prepare() and Process() methods, running just
before and just after the ISP, just like Raspberry Pi Algorithms.

The Prepare() method is able to parse the register dumps in embedded
data buffers, and can be specialised to perform custom processing when
necessary.

The IPA itself no longer performs this register parsing, it just has
to call the new Prepare() and Process() methods.
