[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] cam: Add a parser for capture scripts

Laurent Pinchart laurent.pinchart at ideasonboard.com
Fri May 20 18:52:32 CEST 2022


From: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo at jmondi.org>

Add a parser class to the cam test application to control the capture
operations through a yaml script.

The capture script currently allow to specify a list of controls and
their associated values to be applied per-frame.

Also add a trivial capture script example to showcase the intended
script structure.

Changes since v1:

- Add SPDX license identifier to capture-script.yaml
- Drop gcc 7 support as libcamera requires gcc 8 or newer
- Make scriptPath_ a local variable in CaptureScript constructor
- Drop file check as we want to accept symlinks too
- Pass const reference to fileName to CaptureScript constructor
- Avoid manual deletes of tokens
- Simplify and improve error message handling
- Print line and column number in error message
- Simplify handling of key/value parsing
- Simplify parser deletion
- Don't consume last tokens as that's not needed.
- Simplify CaptureScript::unpackFailure()
- Switch to the simpler event API
- Typo fixes

+# Capture script example
+#
+# A capture script allows to associate a list of controls and their values
+# to frame numbers.
+
+# \todo Formally define the capture script structure with a schema
+
+# Notes:
+# - Controls have to be specified by name, as defined in the
+#   libcamera::controls:: enumeration
+# - Controls not supported by the camera currently operated are ignored
+# - Frame numbers shall be monotonically incrementing, gaps are allowed
+
+# Example:
+frames:
+  - 1:
+      Brightness: 0.0

+      Brightness: 0.2
