[libcamera-devel] [RFC PATCH 4/6] ipa: core: Move documentation from cpp file back into the mojom file

Paul Elder paul.elder at ideasonboard.com
Mon May 24 10:40:27 CEST 2021


Move the documentation back to the mojom file from the cpp file. Also
remove the constructor documentation as it is not needed anymore. While
at it, move the documentation for IPAInterface::init() and
IPAInterface::stop() to the IPA guide.

 All three of these functions are synchronous. The parameters for start() and
 init() may be customized.
 
+init() initializes the IPA interface. It shall be called before any other
+function of the IPAInterface.
+
+stop() informs the IPA module that the camera is stopped. The IPA module shall
+release resources prepared in start().
+
 A configure() method is recommended. Any ControlInfoMap instances that will be
 used by the IPA must be sent to the IPA from the pipeline handler, at configure
 time, for example.
