+< pinchartl> welcome to the multimedia meeting
+< pinchartl> Topic 1. Status Check for the Multimedia Tasks
+<pinchartl> * Geert
+<pinchartl> Since last meeting:
+<pinchartl> - Investigated an ADV7511 s2ram crash, to discover a DRM EDID bug
+<pinchartl> Until next meeting: None
+<pinchartl> Issues and blockers: None
+<pinchartl> geertu: any comment ?
+<geertu> It seems the i2c bus is locked up
+<geertu> and on subsequent reset, EDID cannot be read, too [17:06]
+<pinchartl> Wolfram mentioned he would investigate on the I2C side
+<pinchartl> I have another display bug reported by Morimoto-san to handle
+<pinchartl> so I'll happily ignore the adv7511 for now :-) until Wolfram
+ completes his investigations (or I fix the other bug) [17:07]
+<geertu> Yeah, I saw that. Could that be fw_devlink?
+<pinchartl> I doubt it [17:08]
+<wsa> pinchartl: that will be an interesting race :)
+<pinchartl> :-) [17:09]
+<pinchartl> * Jacopo
+<pinchartl> Since last meeting:

+ discussion of v4l2-mux support from Tomi - R-Car CSI-2 + GMSL
+ ported to v4l2-mux
+<pinchartl> - R-Car ISP review
+<pinchartl> Until next meeting:
+<pinchartl> - New version of v4l2-mux with VIN channels properly handled
+<pinchartl> Issues and blockers: None
+<pinchartl> jmondi: any comment ?
+<jmondi> pinchartl: not really, apart from the point I mentioned in C)
+<pinchartl> I've added it to the discussion points
+<jmondi> thanks

+<pinchartl> - Investigate V3U display timings
+<pinchartl> Peripheral clock confirmed, but still need to dig in and verify
+ things here.
+<pinchartl> Issues and blockers: None
+<pinchartl> Kieran is on vacation this week, I don't think he's with us today

+<pinchartl> that's it for the MM status update unless I've forgotten someone
+<pinchartl> Topic 2. Discussions
+<pinchartl> - R-Car VIN channel handling for v4l2-mux [17:15]
+<pinchartl> jmondi: what is that about ?
+<jmondi> so, I've implemented support for multiplxing and CSI-2 VC routing on
+ max9286 and R-Car CSI-2
+<jmondi> the part I am missing, and from a brief discussion we had I am
+ probably misunderstanding, is the VIN part [17:16]
+<jmondi> as we all know VIN has a CHSEL register with a fixed number of
+ combinations
+<jmondi> it is currently populated inspecting the enabled links between CSI-2
+ and the VIN instances which are used to build a mask of enabled
+ routes [17:17]
+<jmondi> afaiu this does not take into account which VC is routed to the CSI-2
+ source pad linked to the VIN instance at hand [17:18]
+<jmondi> I can make an example
+<neg> From a multiplexed stream PoV just ignore that the CHSEL register exists
+ ;-)
+<jmondi> how so ?
+<neg> The documentation is missleading and it have nothing to do with VC, it
+ just configure which parallel bus on the CSI-2 soruce side is routed to
+ which VIN instance [17:19]
+<jmondi> from what I see empirically, it also have an impact on filtering
+<jmondi> I can make an example
+<neg> VC only exists on the CSI-2 sink pad and inside the CSI-2 driver where a
+ VC is routed to a physical source pad (aka parallel bus) that faces the
+ VIN [17:20]
+<jmondi> on V3M, have a look at the chsel table (page 2006 of datasheet 2.20)
+<jmondi> I am configuring the CSI-2 interface to route VC0 on source pad#1 and
+ VC1 to source pad #4 [17:21]
+<jmondi> this in my understanding corresponds to the first row of the chsel
+ table
+<jmondi> the way the chsel mask building procedure works leads to a chsel mask
+ of value 0x3 [17:22]
+<jmondi> which expects VC3 to be on pad #4, not VC1
+<jmondi> in my mind that could be solved by inspecting the CSI-2 frame desc,
+ and configuring the mask accordingly [17:23]
+<jmondi> but I got from the two of you that chsel should not be involved with
+ routing
+<jmondi> unfortunately, if I stick with the computed chsel=0x3 VIN3 output is
+ blank [17:24]
+<jmondi> if I instead use a chsel value of 0x00 I get good images
+<neg> The CHSEL value calculation don't care about VC, it only looks at the
+ media graph links [17:26]
+<jmondi> I understand, and that's the culprit of my issues, but I got from our
+ previous discussions that the mask building procedure should not be
+ changed [17:27]
+<neg> If you first disable all MC links and then enable CSI40.sourcepad0 ->
+ VIN0 and CSI40.sourcepad4 -> VIN3 and don't get a CHSEL value of 0x00
+ there is a bug in VIN
+<neg> and that of course shall be fixed
+<neg> But this bug would then exists today and would not depend on any
+ multiplexed stream work [17:28]
+<jmondi> I don't think it's a bug, I think the current procedure assumes
+ CSI40.sourcepad4 = VC3
+*** wsa (~wsa@p54b33006.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit: Quit: cya! [17:29]
+<neg> d00h, yes I got confused that in your multiplexed work you break that
+ assumtion ;-) [17:32]
+<jmondi> and also, inspecting the enabled links is not enough, as in example
+ to dishern if (in the same example I've given) on CSI40.pad#4 you
+ have VC1 or embedded data. you should inspect the frame desc
+<neg> But this is good news then, I had been mening to try if what you
+ descirbe here works
+<jmondi> (even if I don't get why VC and datatype are mixed there)
+<jmondi> I mean, we might assume the [VC, CSI source pad] association is fixed
+ [17:33]
+<neg> Because if it do we could simplify the VIN routing I think, as we could
+ allow any VIN to be routed to any VC
+<jmondi> but it would limit the HW supported features
+<jmondi> yeah, well, considering the limited number of possible routes each
+ SoC supports :) [17:34]
+<neg> I'm thinking a hardcoded CHSEL value and immutable links between CSI-2
+ and VIN. The routing of VC to VIN is controlled by the multiplexed API
+ inside the CSI-2 [17:35]
+<pinchartl> can that be done ? [17:36]
+<pinchartl> are the other options than CHSEL to control routing ?
+<jmondi> didn't get the question :)
+<pinchartl> s/are the/are there/ [17:37]
+<neg> If I understood Jacopo this is what he does in his multiplexed stream
+ series and this is why he see this issue
+<jmondi> my understanding is that CHSEL does not control routing but rather
+ filtering [17:38]
+<neg> As he "routes VC1 to source pad #4" he breaks the assumtion we had that
+ each VC was mapped to a fixed pad VCn -> source pad n
+<jmondi> and that surprises me as it means the VIN has the notion of VC/DT
+<jmondi> while I always assumed there's just a parallel data bus between VIN
+ and CSI-2 [17:39]
+<pinchartl> how do you control routing within the CSI-2 receiver ?
+<jmondi> through which registers you mean ?
+<pinchartl> yes
+<neg> VCDT and VCDT2
+<neg> SEL_VC - These bits specify the virtual channels for channel 0 to
+ capture. SEL_VC2 - These bits specify the virtual channels for channel 1
+ to capture. [17:41]
+<jmondi> give me a sec I should re-look into my patches
+<jmondi> I think Laurent is asking how this is handled according to the
+ routing API
+<pinchartl> that is interesting indeed [17:42]
+<pinchartl> especially the mention of the TAG signal
+<pinchartl> which would imply that the output of the CSI-2 has a tag for each
+ sample
+<neg> So with a multiplexd stream API we could set what VC to output for which
+ channel and have a fixed immutable CSI-2 to VIN remving much of the need
+ for the horrible VIN group design
+<pinchartl> I still think the CHSEL routes CSI-2 channels, not CSI-2 VC/DT
+<pinchartl> would it be fair to conclude that more tests are needed ? [17:44]
+<pinchartl> to check more combinations of parameter
+<neg> I think so, but it's an interesting find
+<pinchartl> s
+<jmondi> I would welcome a shared testing strategy [17:46]
+<pinchartl> how so ? by sharing testing, or by discussing the strategy ?
+ [17:47]
+*** damm (~damm@167.99.4.198) has quit: Remote host closed the connection
+ [17:48]
+*** damm (~damm@167.99.4.198) has joined channel #periperi
+<neg> I thought about this a while back and wanted to start to test if what
+ Jacopo now reports even was possibe using VCDT [17:49]
+<jmondi> I'm thinking about a shared plan about -what- to test [17:50]
+<neg> The next step was my dream of removing the horrid routing limitations
+ between VIN and CSI-2, back then I thought about using media links, but
+ if multiplexed streams is on the way maybe S/G_ROUTING would have been
+ my first experiment as I think it would be simpler [17:51]
+<neg> If I where to test this I would force a static CHSEL from VIN, one CSI-2
+ output channel to each VIN and then see if I can using VCDT route a
+ single VC to each VIN and if that works move on to use more streams
+ [17:52]
+*** damm (~damm@167.99.4.198) has quit: Ping timeout: 256 seconds [17:53]
+<neg> If that works I think we can start to bikeshed about how to best make
+ use of it. But I think a first step is to make sure it works as a
+ prototype
+<pinchartl> could the two of you coordinate on the test strategy then ?
+ [17:54]
+<jmondi> sure
+<jmondi> if there's any interest in me continuing with this activty ofc
+<pinchartl> I'm certainly interested :-) [17:55]
+<pinchartl> we have an odd hardware setup, and making sure it can be properly
+ supported with the new API is important
+<jmondi> ok then
+<jmondi> I think it's mostly about me and niklas agreeing on a time to work
+ together on this if he has bandwidth [17:56]
+<neg> I'm extatic about anything that can reduce the complexity and get rid of
+ the VIN groups ;-) [17:57]
+<jmondi> ok, so let's sync to do some work and discussions on this then
+<neg> sounds good
+<jmondi> thanks
+<pinchartl> :-) [17:58]
+<pinchartl> thank you
+<pinchartl> any other discussion topic for today ?
+<jmondi> no thanks :)
+<jmondi> at least not from me ?
+<neg> I'm good
+<pinchartl> I thus propose adjourning the meeting. does anyone second ?
+ [17:59]
+<neg> +1
+<jmondi> +1 thank you all [18:00]
+<neg> Thanks all have a great day
+<pinchartl> meeting adjourned
+<pinchartl> thank you all for attending
+<shimoday> thank you all. bye! [18:02]
