Documentation for dvb-usb-framework module and its devices
Idea behind the dvb-usb-framework
=================================
In March 2005 I got the new Twinhan USB2.0 DVB-T device. They provided specs and a firmware.
Quite keen I wanted to put the driver (with some quirks of course) into dibusb.
After reading some specs and doing some USB snooping, it realized, that the
dibusb-driver would be a complete mess afterwards. So I decided to do it in a
different way: With the help of a dvb-usb-framework.
The framework provides generic functions (mostly kernel API calls), such as:
- Transport Stream URB handling in conjunction with dvb-demux-feed-control
(bulk and isoc are supported)
- registering the device for the DVB-API
- registering an I2C-adapter if applicable
- remote-control/input-device handling
- firmware requesting and loading (currently just for the Cypress USB
controllers)
- other functions/methods which can be shared by several drivers (such as
functions for bulk-control-commands)
- TODO: a I2C-chunker. It creates device-specific chunks of register-accesses
depending on length of a register and the number of values that can be
multi-written and multi-read.
The source code of the particular DVB USB devices does just the communication
with the device via the bus. The connection between the DVB-API-functionality
is done via callbacks, assigned in a static device-description (struct
dvb_usb_device) each device-driver has to have.
For an example have a look in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/vp7045*.
Objective is to migrate all the usb-devices (dibusb, cinergyT2, maybe the
ttusb; flexcop-usb already benefits from the generic flexcop-device) to use
the dvb-usb-lib.
TODO: dynamic enabling and disabling of the pid-filter in regard to number of
feeds requested.

2004-06-06 - first TS received, but kernel oops :/
2004-05-14 - firmware loader is working
2004-05-11 - start writing the driver
1. How to use?
1.1. Firmware
Most of the USB drivers need to download a firmware to the device before start
working.
Have a look at the Wikipage for the DVB-USB-drivers to find out, which firmware
you need for your device:
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB
1.2. Compiling
Since the driver is in the linux kernel, activating the driver in
your favorite config-environment should sufficient. I recommend
to compile the driver as module. Hotplug does the rest.
If you use dvb-kernel enter the build-2.6 directory run 'make' and 'insmod.sh
load' afterwards.
1.3. Loading the drivers
Hotplug is able to load the driver, when it is needed (because you plugged
in the device).
If you want to enable debug output, you have to load the driver manually and
from within the dvb-kernel cvs repository.
first have a look, which debug level are available:
modinfo dvb-usb
modinfo dvb-usb-vp7045
etc.
modprobe dvb-usb debug=<level>
modprobe dvb-usb-vp7045 debug=<level>
etc.
should do the trick.
When the driver is loaded successfully, the firmware file was in
the right place and the device is connected, the "Power"-LED should be
turned on.
At this point you should be able to start a dvb-capable application. I'm use
(t|s)zap, mplayer and dvbscan to test the basics. VDR-xine provides the
long-term test scenario.
2. Known problems and bugs
- Don't remove the USB device while running an DVB application, your system
will go crazy or die most likely.
2.1. Adding support for devices
TODO
2.2. USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation
A lot of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
DVB-T channel (which is about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
DVB-T devices, not just the dvb-usb-devices)
The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone
definitely. All dvb-usb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are
working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel
and watch another one.
2.3. Comments
Patches, comments and suggestions are very very welcome.
3. Acknowledgements

HOWTO: Get An Avermedia DVB-T working under Linux
______________________________________________
Table of Contents
Assumptions and Introduction
The Avermedia DVB-T
Getting the card going
Receiving DVB-T in Australia
Known Limitations
Further Update
Assumptions and Introduction
It is assumed that the reader understands the basic structure
of the Linux Kernel DVB drivers and the general principles of
Digital TV.
One significant difference between Digital TV and Analogue TV
that the unwary (like myself) should consider is that,
although the component structure of budget DVB-T cards are
substantially similar to Analogue TV cards, they function in
substantially different ways.
The purpose of an Analogue TV is to receive and display an
Analogue Television signal. An Analogue TV signal (otherwise
known as composite video) is an analogue encoding of a
sequence of image frames (25 per second) rasterised using an
interlacing technique. Interlacing takes two fields to
represent one frame. Computers today are at their best when
dealing with digital signals, not analogue signals and a
composite video signal is about as far removed from a digital
data stream as you can get. Therefore, an Analogue TV card for
a PC has the following purpose:
* Tune the receiver to receive a broadcast signal
* demodulate the broadcast signal
* demultiplex the analogue video signal and analogue audio
signal (note some countries employ a digital audio signal
embedded within the modulated composite analogue signal -
NICAM.)
* digitize the analogue video signal and make the resulting
datastream available to the data bus.
The digital datastream from an Analogue TV card is generated
by circuitry on the card and is often presented uncompressed.
For a PAL TV signal encoded at a resolution of 768x576 24-bit
color pixels over 25 frames per second - a fair amount of data
is generated and must be processed by the PC before it can be
displayed on the video monitor screen. Some Analogue TV cards
for PCs have onboard MPEG2 encoders which permit the raw
digital data stream to be presented to the PC in an encoded
and compressed form - similar to the form that is used in
Digital TV.
The purpose of a simple budget digital TV card (DVB-T,C or S)
is to simply:
* Tune the received to receive a broadcast signal.
* Extract the encoded digital datastream from the broadcast
signal.
* Make the encoded digital datastream (MPEG2) available to
the data bus.
The significant difference between the two is that the tuner
on the analogue TV card spits out an Analogue signal, whereas
the tuner on the digital TV card spits out a compressed
encoded digital datastream. As the signal is already
digitised, it is trivial to pass this datastream to the PC
databus with minimal additional processing and then extract
the digital video and audio datastreams passing them to the
appropriate software or hardware for decoding and viewing.
_________________________________________________________
The Avermedia DVB-T
The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs:
* RF Tuner Input
* Composite Video Input (RCA Jack)
* SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN)
The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the
card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The
Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely
post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the
Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is
found in the dvb-hw CVS module.
The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very
common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards.
There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2
decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an
MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset.
_________________________________________________________
Getting the card going
In order to fire up the card, it is necessary to load a number
of modules from the DVB driver set. Prior to this it will have
been necessary to download these drivers from the linuxtv CVS
server and compile them successfully.
Depending on the card's feature set, the Device Driver API for
DVB under Linux will expose some of the following device files
in the /dev tree:
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
The primary device nodes that we are interested in (at this
stage) for the Avermedia DVB-T are:
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
The dvr0 device node is used to read the MPEG2 Data Stream and
the frontend0 node is used to tune the frontend tuner module.
At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the
functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the
Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of
tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is
possible with the currently available versions of the driver.
It may be possible that additional functionality is available
from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs
that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If
I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I
find.
To power up the card, load the following modules in the
following order:
* modprobe bttv (normally loaded automatically)
* modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules)
Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will
activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible
to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap,
dvbstream etc.
The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware.
Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download
it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware/
(depending on configuration of firmware hotplug).
Receiving DVB-T in Australia
I have no experience of DVB-T in other countries other than
Australia, so I will attempt to explain how it works here in
Melbourne and how this affects the configuration of the DVB-T
card.
The Digital Broadcasting Australia website has a Reception
locatortool which provides information on transponder channels
and frequencies. My local transmitter happens to be Mount
Dandenong.
The frequencies broadcast by Mount Dandenong are:
Table 1. Transponder Frequencies Mount Dandenong, Vic, Aus.
Broadcaster Channel Frequency
ABC VHF 12 226.5 MHz
TEN VHF 11 219.5 MHz
NINE VHF 8 191.625 MHz
SEVEN VHF 6 177.5 MHz
SBS UHF 29 536.5 MHz
The Scan utility has a set of compiled-in defaults for various
countries and regions, but if they do not suit, or if you have
a pre-compiled scan binary, you can specify a data file on the
command line which contains the transponder frequencies. Here
is a sample file for the above channel transponders:
# Data file for DVB scan program
#
# C Frequency SymbolRate FEC QAM
# S Frequency Polarisation SymbolRate FEC
# T Frequency Bandwidth FEC FEC2 QAM Mode Guard Hier
T 226500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 191625000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 219500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 536500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
The defaults for the transponder frequency and other
modulation parameters were obtained from www.dba.org.au.
When Scan runs, it will output channels.conf information for
any channel's transponders which the card's frontend can lock
onto. (i.e. any whose signal is strong enough at your
antenna).
Here's my channels.conf file for anyone who's interested:

_________________________________________________________
Known Limitations
At present I can say with confidence that the frontend tunes
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/frontend0 and supplies an MPEG2 stream
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/dvr0. I have not tested the
functionality of any other part of the card yet. I will do so
over time and update this document.
There are some limitations in the i2c layer due to a returned
error message inconsistency. Although this generates errors in
dmesg and the system logs, it does not appear to affect the
ability of the frontend to function correctly.
_________________________________________________________
Further Update
dvbstream and VideoLAN Client on windows works a treat with
DVB, in fact this is currently serving as my main way of
viewing DVB-T at the moment. Additionally, VLC is happily
decoding HDTV signals, although the PC is dropping the odd
frame here and there - I assume due to processing capability -
as all the decoding is being done under windows in software.
Many thanks to Nigel Pearson for the updates to this document
since the recent revision of the driver.

How to get the bt8xx cards working
==================================
1) General information
======================
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
Compiling kernel please enable:
a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "Enable Video for Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)"
b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "Video Capture Adapters" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
c.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices" => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which are in fact necessary
may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due to lack of driver support:
You can save RAM by deselecting every frontend module that your DVB card does not need.
First please remove the static dependency of DVB card drivers on all frontend modules for all possible card variants by enabling:
d.) "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Load and attach frontend modules as needed"
If you know the frontend driver that your card needs please enable:
e.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Customise DVB Frontends" => "Customise the frontend modules to build"
Then please select your card-specific frontend module.
2) Loading Modules
==================
Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
Exceptions are:
- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and not containing an Eeprom.
People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
------------------------------
$ modprobe bttv card=113
$ modprobe dst
Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
verbose=0: messages are disabled
1: only error messages are displayed
2: notifications are displayed
3: other useful messages are displayed
4: debug setting
dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
2b) Running multiple cards
--------------------------
Examples of card ID's:
Pinnacle PCTV Sat: 94
Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104
pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112
Twinhan DST and clones: 113
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124
DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
Example:
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.
In case of further problems please subscribe and send questions to the mailing list: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org.
2c) Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
--------------------------------------------------
There are some TwinHan cards that the EEPROM has become corrupted for some
reason. The cards do not have correct PCI subsystem ID. But we can force
probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
$ echo 109e 0878 $subvendor $subdevice > \
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/bt878/new_id
109e: PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROOKTREE
0878: PCI_DEVICE_ID_BROOKTREE_878

How to set up the Technisat/B2C2 Flexcop devices
================================================
1) Find out what device you have
================================
Important Notice: The driver does NOT support Technisat USB 2 devices!
First start your linux box with a shipped kernel:
lspci -vvv for a PCI device (lsusb -vvv for an USB device) will show you for example:
02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip /
Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
dmesg | grep frontend may show you for example:
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24123/CX24109)...
2) Kernel compilation:
======================
If the Flexcop / Technisat is the only DVB / TV / Radio device in your box
get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one:
"Multimedia support" => "Customise analog and hybrid tuner modules to build"
In this directory uncheck every driver which is activated there
(except "Simple tuner support" for ATSC 3rd generation only -> see case 9 please).
Then please activate:
2a) Main module part:
"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
=> "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters"
a.) => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI" (PCI card) or
b.) => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC USB" (USB 1.1 adapter)
and for troubleshooting purposes:
c.) => "Enable debug for the B2C2 FlexCop drivers"
2b) Frontend / Tuner / Demodulator module part:
"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
=> "Customise the frontend modules to build" "Customise DVB frontends" =>
1.) SkyStar DVB-S Revision 2.3:
a.) => "Zarlink VP310/MT312/ZL10313 based"
b.) => "Generic I2C PLL based tuners"
2.) SkyStar DVB-S Revision 2.6:
a.) => "ST STV0299 based"
b.) => "Generic I2C PLL based tuners"
3.) SkyStar DVB-S Revision 2.7:
a.) => "Samsung S5H1420 based"
b.) => "Integrant ITD1000 Zero IF tuner for DVB-S/DSS"
c.) => "ISL6421 SEC controller"
4.) SkyStar DVB-S Revision 2.8:
a.) => "Conexant CX24123 based"
b.) => "Conexant CX24113/CX24128 tuner for DVB-S/DSS"

HOWTO: Get An Avermedia DVB-T working under Linux
-------------------------------------------------
February 14th 2006
.. note::
This documentation is outdated. Please check at the DVB wiki
at https://linuxtv.org/wiki for more updated info.
There's a section there specific for Avermedia boards at:
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia
Assumptions and Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is assumed that the reader understands the basic structure
of the Linux Kernel DVB drivers and the general principles of
Digital TV.
One significant difference between Digital TV and Analogue TV
that the unwary (like myself) should consider is that,
although the component structure of budget DVB-T cards are
substantially similar to Analogue TV cards, they function in
substantially different ways.
The purpose of an Analogue TV is to receive and display an
Analogue Television signal. An Analogue TV signal (otherwise
known as composite video) is an analogue encoding of a
sequence of image frames (25 per second) rasterised using an
interlacing technique. Interlacing takes two fields to
represent one frame. Computers today are at their best when
dealing with digital signals, not analogue signals and a
composite video signal is about as far removed from a digital
data stream as you can get. Therefore, an Analogue TV card for
a PC has the following purpose:
* Tune the receiver to receive a broadcast signal
* demodulate the broadcast signal
* demultiplex the analogue video signal and analogue audio
signal. **NOTE:** some countries employ a digital audio signal
embedded within the modulated composite analogue signal -
NICAM.)
* digitize the analogue video signal and make the resulting
datastream available to the data bus.
The digital datastream from an Analogue TV card is generated
by circuitry on the card and is often presented uncompressed.
For a PAL TV signal encoded at a resolution of 768x576 24-bit
color pixels over 25 frames per second - a fair amount of data
is generated and must be processed by the PC before it can be
displayed on the video monitor screen. Some Analogue TV cards
for PCs have onboard MPEG2 encoders which permit the raw
digital data stream to be presented to the PC in an encoded
and compressed form - similar to the form that is used in
Digital TV.
The purpose of a simple budget digital TV card (DVB-T,C or S)
is to simply:
* Tune the received to receive a broadcast signal.
* Extract the encoded digital datastream from the broadcast
signal.
* Make the encoded digital datastream (MPEG2) available to
the data bus.
The significant difference between the two is that the tuner
on the analogue TV card spits out an Analogue signal, whereas
the tuner on the digital TV card spits out a compressed
encoded digital datastream. As the signal is already
digitised, it is trivial to pass this datastream to the PC
databus with minimal additional processing and then extract
the digital video and audio datastreams passing them to the
appropriate software or hardware for decoding and viewing.
The Avermedia DVB-T
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs:
* RF Tuner Input
* Composite Video Input (RCA Jack)
* SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN)
The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the
card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The
Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely
post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the
Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is
found in the dvb-hw CVS module.
The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very
common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards.
There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2
decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an
MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset.
Getting the card going
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to fire up the card, it is necessary to load a number
of modules from the DVB driver set. Prior to this it will have
been necessary to download these drivers from the linuxtv CVS
server and compile them successfully.
Depending on the card's feature set, the Device Driver API for
DVB under Linux will expose some of the following device files
in the /dev tree:
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
The primary device nodes that we are interested in (at this
stage) for the Avermedia DVB-T are:
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
The dvr0 device node is used to read the MPEG2 Data Stream and
the frontend0 node is used to tune the frontend tuner module.
At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the
functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the
Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of
tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is
possible with the currently available versions of the driver.
It may be possible that additional functionality is available
from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs
that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If
I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I
find.
To power up the card, load the following modules in the
following order:
* modprobe bttv (normally loaded automatically)
* modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules)
Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will
activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible
to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap,
dvbstream etc.
The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware.
Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download
it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware/
(depending on configuration of firmware hotplug).
Receiving DVB-T in Australia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have no experience of DVB-T in other countries other than
Australia, so I will attempt to explain how it works here in
Melbourne and how this affects the configuration of the DVB-T
card.
The Digital Broadcasting Australia website has a Reception
locatortool which provides information on transponder channels
and frequencies. My local transmitter happens to be Mount
Dandenong.
The frequencies broadcast by Mount Dandenong are:
Table 1. Transponder Frequencies Mount Dandenong, Vic, Aus.
Broadcaster Channel Frequency
ABC VHF 12 226.5 MHz
TEN VHF 11 219.5 MHz
NINE VHF 8 191.625 MHz
SEVEN VHF 6 177.5 MHz
SBS UHF 29 536.5 MHz
The Scan utility has a set of compiled-in defaults for various
countries and regions, but if they do not suit, or if you have
a pre-compiled scan binary, you can specify a data file on the
command line which contains the transponder frequencies. Here
is a sample file for the above channel transponders:
::
# Data file for DVB scan program
#
# C Frequency SymbolRate FEC QAM
# S Frequency Polarisation SymbolRate FEC
# T Frequency Bandwidth FEC FEC2 QAM Mode Guard Hier
T 226500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 191625000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 219500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 536500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
The defaults for the transponder frequency and other
modulation parameters were obtained from www.dba.org.au.
When Scan runs, it will output channels.conf information for
any channel's transponders which the card's frontend can lock
onto. (i.e. any whose signal is strong enough at your
antenna).
Here's my channels.conf file for anyone who's interested:

Known Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At present I can say with confidence that the frontend tunes
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/frontend0 and supplies an MPEG2 stream
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/dvr0. I have not tested the
functionality of any other part of the card yet. I will do so
over time and update this document.
There are some limitations in the i2c layer due to a returned
error message inconsistency. Although this generates errors in
dmesg and the system logs, it does not appear to affect the
ability of the frontend to function correctly.
Further Update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dvbstream and VideoLAN Client on windows works a treat with
DVB, in fact this is currently serving as my main way of
viewing DVB-T at the moment. Additionally, VLC is happily
decoding HDTV signals, although the PC is dropping the odd
frame here and there - I assume due to processing capability -
as all the decoding is being done under windows in software.
Many thanks to Nigel Pearson for the updates to this document
since the recent revision of the driver.

How to get the bt8xx cards working
==================================
Authors: Richard Walker,
Jamie Honan,
Michael Hunold,
Manu Abraham,
Uwe Bugla,
Michael Krufky
.. note::
This documentation is outdated. Please check at the DVB wiki
at https://linuxtv.org/wiki for more updated info.
General information
-------------------
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
Compiling kernel please enable:
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Video For Linux`` => ``Enable Video for Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)``
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Video For Linux`` => ``Video Capture Adapters`` => ``BT848 Video For Linux``
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Digital Video Broadcasting Devices`` => ``DVB for Linux`` ``DVB Core Support`` ``Bt8xx based PCI Cards``
Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which are in fact necessary may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due to lack of driver support:
You can save RAM by deselecting every frontend module that your DVB card does not need.
First please remove the static dependency of DVB card drivers on all frontend modules for all possible card variants by enabling:
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Digital Video Broadcasting Devices`` => ``DVB for Linux`` ``DVB Core Support`` ``Load and attach frontend modules as needed``
If you know the frontend driver that your card needs please enable:
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Digital Video Broadcasting Devices`` => ``DVB for Linux`` ``DVB Core Support`` ``Customise DVB Frontends`` => ``Customise the frontend modules to build``
Then please select your card-specific frontend module.
Loading Modules
---------------
Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
Exceptions are:
- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and not containing an Eeprom.
People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
Running TwinHan and Clones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: none
$ modprobe bttv card=113
$ modprobe dst
Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
.. code-block:: none
verbose=0: messages are disabled
1: only error messages are displayed
2: notifications are displayed
3: other useful messages are displayed
4: debug setting
dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
Running multiple cards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examples of card ID's:

DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
.. note::
The order of the card ID should be uprising:
Example:
.. code-block:: none
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.
In case of further problems please subscribe and send questions to the mailing list: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org.
Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are some TwinHan cards that the EEPROM has become corrupted for some
reason. The cards do not have correct PCI subsystem ID. But we can force
probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
.. code-block:: none
$ echo 109e 0878 $subvendor $subdevice > \

Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
=================================================
Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
are also available in versions with different frontends for
DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed separately.
.. note::
Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.
This documentation is outdated. Please check at the DVB wiki
at https://linuxtv.org/wiki for more updated info.
Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.

Idea behind the dvb-usb-framework
=================================
.. note::
#) This documentation is outdated. Please check at the DVB wiki
at https://linuxtv.org/wiki for more updated info.
#) **deprecated:** Newer DVB USB drivers should use the dvb-usb-v2 framework.
In March 2005 I got the new Twinhan USB2.0 DVB-T device. They provided specs
and a firmware.
Quite keen I wanted to put the driver (with some quirks of course) into dibusb.
After reading some specs and doing some USB snooping, it realized, that the
dibusb-driver would be a complete mess afterwards. So I decided to do it in a
different way: With the help of a dvb-usb-framework.
The framework provides generic functions (mostly kernel API calls), such as:
- Transport Stream URB handling in conjunction with dvb-demux-feed-control
(bulk and isoc are supported)
- registering the device for the DVB-API
- registering an I2C-adapter if applicable
- remote-control/input-device handling
- firmware requesting and loading (currently just for the Cypress USB
controllers)
- other functions/methods which can be shared by several drivers (such as
functions for bulk-control-commands)
- TODO: a I2C-chunker. It creates device-specific chunks of register-accesses
depending on length of a register and the number of values that can be
multi-written and multi-read.
The source code of the particular DVB USB devices does just the communication
with the device via the bus. The connection between the DVB-API-functionality
is done via callbacks, assigned in a static device-description (struct
dvb_usb_device) each device-driver has to have.
For an example have a look in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/vp7045*.
Objective is to migrate all the usb-devices (dibusb, cinergyT2, maybe the
ttusb; flexcop-usb already benefits from the generic flexcop-device) to use
the dvb-usb-lib.
TODO: dynamic enabling and disabling of the pid-filter in regard to number of
feeds requested.

How to use?
-----------
Firmware
~~~~~~~~
Most of the USB drivers need to download a firmware to the device before start
working.
Have a look at the Wikipage for the DVB-USB-drivers to find out, which firmware
you need for your device:
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB
Compiling
~~~~~~~~~
Since the driver is in the linux kernel, activating the driver in
your favorite config-environment should sufficient. I recommend
to compile the driver as module. Hotplug does the rest.
If you use dvb-kernel enter the build-2.6 directory run 'make' and 'insmod.sh
load' afterwards.
Loading the drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotplug is able to load the driver, when it is needed (because you plugged
in the device).
If you want to enable debug output, you have to load the driver manually and
from within the dvb-kernel cvs repository.
first have a look, which debug level are available:
.. code-block:: none
# modinfo dvb-usb
# modinfo dvb-usb-vp7045
etc.
.. code-block:: none
modprobe dvb-usb debug=<level>
modprobe dvb-usb-vp7045 debug=<level>
etc.
should do the trick.
When the driver is loaded successfully, the firmware file was in
the right place and the device is connected, the "Power"-LED should be
turned on.
At this point you should be able to start a dvb-capable application. I'm use
(t|s)zap, mplayer and dvbscan to test the basics. VDR-xine provides the
long-term test scenario.
Known problems and bugs
-----------------------
- Don't remove the USB device while running an DVB application, your system
will go crazy or die most likely.
Adding support for devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TODO
USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lot of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
DVB-T channel (which is about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
DVB-T devices, not just the dvb-usb-devices)
The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone
definitely. All dvb-usb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are
working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel
and watch another one.
Comments
~~~~~~~~
Patches, comments and suggestions are very very welcome.

Introduction
============
This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by video
and radio streaming devices, including video cameras, analog and digital
TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards, Software Defined Radio (SDR),
streaming capture and output devices, codec devices and remote controllers.
A typical media device hardware is shown at :ref:`typical_media_device`.
.. _typical_media_device:

Typical Media Device
The media infrastructure API was designed to control such devices. It is
divided into five parts.
1. The :ref:`first part <v4l2spec>` covers radio, video capture and output,
cameras, analog TV devices and codecs.
2. The :ref:`second part <dvbapi>` covers the API used for digital TV and
Internet reception via one of the several digital tv standards. While it is
called as DVB API, in fact it covers several different video standards
including DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB-T, ISDB-S, DTMB, etc. The
complete list of supported standards can be found at
:ref:`fe-delivery-system-t`.
3. The :ref:`third part <remote_controllers>` covers the Remote Controller API.
4. The :ref:`fourth part <media_controller>` covers the Media Controller API.
5. The :ref:`fifth part <cec>` covers the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) API.
It should also be noted that a media device may also have audio components, like
mixers, PCM capture, PCM playback, etc, which are controlled via ALSA API. For
additional information and for the latest development code, see:
`https://linuxtv.org <https://linuxtv.org>`__. For discussing improvements,
reporting troubles, sending new drivers, etc, please mail to: `Linux Media
Mailing List (LMML) <http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media>`__.

Digital TV Frontend kABI
------------------------
Digital TV Frontend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Digital TV Frontend kABI defines a driver-internal interface for
registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent
frontend layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers.
The header file for this API is named dvb_frontend.h and located in
drivers/media/dvb-core.
Before using the Digital TV frontend core, the bridge driver should attach
the frontend demod, tuner and SEC devices and call
:c:func:`dvb_register_frontend()`,
in order to register the new frontend at the subsystem. At device
detach/removal, the bridge driver should call
:c:func:`dvb_unregister_frontend()` to
remove the frontend from the core and then :c:func:`dvb_frontend_detach()`
to free the memory allocated by the frontend drivers.
The drivers should also call :c:func:`dvb_frontend_suspend()` as part of
their handler for the :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``suspend()``, and
:c:func:`dvb_frontend_resume()` as
part of their handler for :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``resume()``.
A few other optional functions are provided to handle some special cases.
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.h
Digital TV Demux kABI
---------------------
Digital TV Demux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Kernel Digital TV Demux kABI defines a driver-internal interface for
registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent
demux layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers.
The header file for this kABI is named demux.h and located in
drivers/media/dvb-core.
The demux kABI should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is
used to select the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources.
When the demux client allocates a resource via the demux kABI, it receives
a pointer to the kABI of that resource.
Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as
set via this demux kABI. In a system with more than one front-end, the kABI
can be used to select one of the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux,
unless this is fixed in the HW platform.
The demux kABI only controls front-ends regarding to their connections with
demuxes; the kABI used to set the other front-end parameters, such as
tuning, are devined via the Digital TV Frontend kABI.
The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined
static or module private and registered to the Demux core for external
access. It is not necessary to implement every function in the struct
&dmx_demux. For example, a demux interface might support Section filtering,
but not PES filtering. The kABI client is expected to check the value of any
function pointer before calling the function: the value of ``NULL`` means
that the function is not available.
Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the
possibilities of lost update and race condition problems should be
addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with mutexes.
Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep.
Even a simple memory allocation without using ``GFP_ATOMIC`` can result in a
kernel thread being put to sleep if swapping is needed. For example, the
Linux Kernel calls the functions of a network device interface from a
bottom half context. Thus, if a demux kABI function is called from network
device code, the function must not sleep.
Demux Callback API
------------------
Demux Callback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This kernel-space API comprises the callback functions that deliver filtered
data to the demux client. Unlike the other DVB kABIs, these functions are
provided by the client and called from the demux code.
The function pointers of this abstract interface are not packed into a
structure as in the other demux APIs, because the callback functions are
registered and used independent of each other. As an example, it is possible
for the API client to provide several callback functions for receiving TS
packets and no callbacks for PES packets or sections.
The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when
a demux driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to
call the function again before the original call returns. If a callback is
triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended to use the Linux
bottom half mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback
function call directly from a hardware interrupt.
This mechanism is implemented by :c:func:`dmx_ts_cb()` and :cpp:func:`dmx_section_cb()`
callbacks.

Media Controller devices
------------------------
Media Controller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The media controller userspace API is documented in
:ref:`the Media Controller uAPI book <media_controller>`. This document focus
on the kernel-side implementation of the media framework.
Abstract media device model
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime, is one
of the goals of the media framework. To achieve this, hardware devices are
modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities connected
through pads.
An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
connectors.
A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.
A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
pad to a sink pad.
Media device
^^^^^^^^^^^^
A media device is represented by a :c:type:`struct media_device <media_device>`
instance, defined in ``include/media/media-device.h``.
Allocation of the structure is handled by the media device driver, usually by
embedding the :c:type:`media_device` instance in a larger driver-specific
structure.
Drivers register media device instances by calling
:c:func:`__media_device_register()` via the macro ``media_device_register()``
and unregistered by calling :c:func:`media_device_unregister()`.
Entities
^^^^^^^^
Entities are represented by a :c:type:`struct media_entity <media_entity>`
instance, defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. The structure is usually
embedded into a higher-level structure, such as
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` or :c:type:`video_device`
instances, although drivers can allocate entities directly.
Drivers initialize entity pads by calling
:c:func:`media_entity_pads_init()`.
Drivers register entities with a media device by calling
:c:func:`media_device_register_entity()`
and unregistred by calling
:c:func:`media_device_unregister_entity()`.
Interfaces
^^^^^^^^^^
Interfaces are represented by a
:c:type:`struct media_interface <media_interface>` instance, defined in
``include/media/media-entity.h``. Currently, only one type of interface is
defined: a device node. Such interfaces are represented by a
:c:type:`struct media_intf_devnode <media_intf_devnode>`.
Drivers initialize and create device node interfaces by calling
:c:func:`media_devnode_create()`
and remove them by calling:
:c:func:`media_devnode_remove()`.
Pads
^^^^
Pads are represented by a :c:type:`struct media_pad <media_pad>` instance,
defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. Each entity stores its pads in
a pads array managed by the entity driver. Drivers usually embed the array in
a driver-specific structure.
Pads are identified by their entity and their 0-based index in the pads
array.
Both information are stored in the :c:type:`struct media_pad`, making the
:c:type:`media_pad` pointer the canonical way to store and pass link references.
Pads have flags that describe the pad capabilities and state.
``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK`` indicates that the pad supports sinking data.
``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE`` indicates that the pad supports sourcing data.
.. note::
One and only one of ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK`` or ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE`` must
be set for each pad.
Links
^^^^^
Links are represented by a :c:type:`struct media_link <media_link>` instance,
defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. There are two types of links:
**1. pad to pad links**:
Associate two entities via their PADs. Each entity has a list that points
to all links originating at or targeting any of its pads.
A given link is thus stored twice, once in the source entity and once in
the target entity.
Drivers create pad to pad links by calling:
:c:func:`media_create_pad_link()` and remove with
:c:func:`media_entity_remove_links()`.
**2. interface to entity links**:
Associate one interface to a Link.
Drivers create interface to entity links by calling:
:c:func:`media_create_intf_link()` and remove with
:c:func:`media_remove_intf_links()`.
.. note::
Links can only be created after having both ends already created.
Links have flags that describe the link capabilities and state. The
valid values are described at :c:func:`media_create_pad_link()` and
:c:func:`media_create_intf_link()`.
Graph traversal
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The media framework provides APIs to iterate over entities in a graph.
To iterate over all entities belonging to a media device, drivers can use
the media_device_for_each_entity macro, defined in
``include/media/media-device.h``.
.. code-block:: c
struct media_entity *entity;
media_device_for_each_entity(entity, mdev) {
// entity will point to each entity in turn
...
}
Drivers might also need to iterate over all entities in a graph that can be
reached only through enabled links starting at a given entity. The media
framework provides a depth-first graph traversal API for that purpose.
.. note::
Graphs with cycles (whether directed or undirected) are **NOT**
supported by the graph traversal API. To prevent infinite loops, the graph
traversal code limits the maximum depth to ``MEDIA_ENTITY_ENUM_MAX_DEPTH``,
currently defined as 16.
Drivers initiate a graph traversal by calling
:c:func:`media_entity_graph_walk_start()`
The graph structure, provided by the caller, is initialized to start graph
traversal at the given entity.
Drivers can then retrieve the next entity by calling
:c:func:`media_entity_graph_walk_next()`
When the graph traversal is complete the function will return ``NULL``.
Graph traversal can be interrupted at any moment. No cleanup function call
is required and the graph structure can be freed normally.
Helper functions can be used to find a link between two given pads, or a pad
connected to another pad through an enabled link
:c:func:`media_entity_find_link()` and
:c:func:`media_entity_remote_pad()`.
Use count and power handling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management
needs, the media controller does not implement power management. However,
the :c:type:`struct media_entity <media_entity>` includes a ``use_count``
field that media drivers
can use to track the number of users of every entity for power management
needs.
The :c:type:`media_entity<media_entity>`.\ ``use_count`` field is owned by
media drivers and must not be
touched by entity drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the
:c:type:`media_device`.\ ``graph_mutex`` lock.
Links setup
^^^^^^^^^^^
Link properties can be modified at runtime by calling
:c:func:`media_entity_setup_link()`.
Pipelines and media streams
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When starting streaming, drivers must notify all entities in the pipeline to
prevent link states from being modified during streaming by calling
:c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()`.
The function will mark all entities connected to the given entity through
enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming.
The :c:type:`struct media_pipeline <media_pipeline>` instance pointed to by
the pipe argument will be stored in every entity in the pipeline.
Drivers should embed the :c:type:`struct media_pipeline <media_pipeline>`
in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the
pipeline through the :c:type:`struct media_entity <media_entity>`
pipe field.
Calls to :c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()` can be nested.
The pipeline pointer must be identical for all nested calls to the function.
:c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()` may return an error. In that case,
it will clean up any of the changes it did by itself.
When stopping the stream, drivers must notify the entities with
:c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_stop()`.
If multiple calls to :c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()` have been
made the same number of :c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_stop()` calls
are required to stop streaming.
The :c:type:`media_entity`.\ ``pipe`` field is reset to ``NULL`` on the last
nested stop call.
Link configuration will fail with ``-EBUSY`` by default if either end of the
link is a streaming entity. Links that can be modified while streaming must
be marked with the ``MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC`` flag.
If other operations need to be disallowed on streaming entities (such as
changing entities configuration parameters) drivers can explicitly check the
media_entity stream_count field to find out if an entity is streaming. This
operation must be done with the media_device graph_mutex held.
Link validation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Link validation is performed by :c:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()`
for any entity which has sink pads in the pipeline. The
:c:type:`media_entity`.\ ``link_validate()`` callback is used for that
purpose. In ``link_validate()`` callback, entity driver should check
that the properties of the source pad of the connected entity and its own
sink pad match. It is up to the type of the entity (and in the end, the
properties of the hardware) what matching actually means.
Subsystems should facilitate link validation by providing subsystem specific
helper functions to provide easy access for commonly needed information, and
in the end provide a way to use driver-specific callbacks.

V4L2 clocks
-----------
.. attention::
This is a temporary API and it shall be replaced by the generic
clock API, when the latter becomes widely available.
Many subdevices, like camera sensors, TV decoders and encoders, need a clock
signal to be supplied by the system. Often this clock is supplied by the
respective bridge device. The Linux kernel provides a Common Clock Framework for
this purpose. However, it is not (yet) available on all architectures. Besides,
the nature of the multi-functional (clock, data + synchronisation, I2C control)
connection of subdevices to the system might impose special requirements on the
clock API usage. E.g. V4L2 has to support clock provider driver unregistration
while a subdevice driver is holding a reference to the clock. For these reasons
a V4L2 clock helper API has been developed and is provided to bridge and
subdevice drivers.
The API consists of two parts: two functions to register and unregister a V4L2
clock source: v4l2_clk_register() and v4l2_clk_unregister() and calls to control
a clock object, similar to the respective generic clock API calls:
v4l2_clk_get(), v4l2_clk_put(), v4l2_clk_enable(), v4l2_clk_disable(),
v4l2_clk_get_rate(), and v4l2_clk_set_rate(). Clock suppliers have to provide
clock operations that will be called when clock users invoke respective API
methods.
It is expected that once the CCF becomes available on all relevant
architectures this API will be removed.

Video device' s internal representation
=======================================
The actual device nodes in the ``/dev`` directory are created using the
:c:type:`video_device` struct (``v4l2-dev.h``). This struct can either be
allocated dynamically or embedded in a larger struct.
To allocate it dynamically use :c:func:`video_device_alloc`:
.. code-block:: c
struct video_device *vdev = video_device_alloc();
if (vdev == NULL)
return -ENOMEM;
vdev->release = video_device_release;
If you embed it in a larger struct, then you must set the ``release()``
callback to your own function:
.. code-block:: c
struct video_device *vdev = &my_vdev->vdev;
vdev->release = my_vdev_release;
The ``release()`` callback must be set and it is called when the last user
of the video device exits.
The default :c:func:`video_device_release` callback currently
just calls ``kfree`` to free the allocated memory.
There is also a ::c:func:`video_device_release_empty` function that does
nothing (is empty) and should be used if the struct is embedded and there
is nothing to do when it is released.
You should also set these fields of :c:type:`video_device`:
- :c:type:`video_device`->v4l2_dev: must be set to the :c:type:`v4l2_device`
parent device.
- :c:type:`video_device`->name: set to something descriptive and unique.
- :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_dir: set this to ``VFL_DIR_RX`` for capture
devices (``VFL_DIR_RX`` has value 0, so this is normally already the
default), set to ``VFL_DIR_TX`` for output devices and ``VFL_DIR_M2M`` for mem2mem (codec) devices.
- :c:type:`video_device`->fops: set to the :c:type:`v4l2_file_operations`
struct.
- :c:type:`video_device`->ioctl_ops: if you use the :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops`
to simplify ioctl maintenance (highly recommended to use this and it might
become compulsory in the future!), then set this to your
:c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops` struct. The :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_type and
:c:type:`video_device`->vfl_dir fields are used to disable ops that do not
match the type/dir combination. E.g. VBI ops are disabled for non-VBI nodes,
and output ops are disabled for a capture device. This makes it possible to
provide just one :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops struct` for both vbi and
video nodes.
- :c:type:`video_device`->lock: leave to ``NULL`` if you want to do all the
locking in the driver. Otherwise you give it a pointer to a struct
``mutex_lock`` and before the :c:type:`video_device`->unlocked_ioctl
file operation is called this lock will be taken by the core and released
afterwards. See the next section for more details.
- :c:type:`video_device`->queue: a pointer to the struct :c:type:`vb2_queue`
associated with this device node.
If queue is not ``NULL``, and queue->lock is not ``NULL``, then queue->lock
is used for the queuing ioctls (``VIDIOC_REQBUFS``, ``CREATE_BUFS``,
``QBUF``, ``DQBUF``, ``QUERYBUF``, ``PREPARE_BUF``, ``STREAMON`` and
``STREAMOFF``) instead of the lock above.
That way the :ref:`vb2 <vb2_framework>` queuing framework does not have
to wait for other ioctls. This queue pointer is also used by the
:ref:`vb2 <vb2_framework>` helper functions to check for
queuing ownership (i.e. is the filehandle calling it allowed to do the
operation).
- :c:type:`video_device`->prio: keeps track of the priorities. Used to
implement ``VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY`` and ``VIDIOC_S_PRIORITY``.
If left to ``NULL``, then it will use the struct :c:type:`v4l2_prio_state`
in :c:type:`v4l2_device`. If you want to have a separate priority state per
(group of) device node(s), then you can point it to your own struct
:c:type:`v4l2_prio_state`.
- :c:type:`video_device`->dev_parent: you only set this if v4l2_device was
registered with ``NULL`` as the parent ``device`` struct. This only happens
in cases where one hardware device has multiple PCI devices that all share
the same :c:type:`v4l2_device` core.
The cx88 driver is an example of this: one core :c:type:`v4l2_device` struct,
but it is used by both a raw video PCI device (cx8800) and a MPEG PCI device
(cx8802). Since the :c:type:`v4l2_device` cannot be associated with two PCI
devices at the same time it is setup without a parent device. But when the
struct :c:type:`video_device` is initialized you **do** know which parent
PCI device to use and so you set ``dev_device`` to the correct PCI device.
If you use :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops`, then you should set
:c:type:`video_device`->unlocked_ioctl to :c:func:`video_ioctl2` in your
:c:type:`v4l2_file_operations` struct.
In some cases you want to tell the core that a function you had specified in
your :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops` should be ignored. You can mark such ioctls by
calling this function before :c:func:`video_register_device` is called:
:c:func:`v4l2_disable_ioctl <v4l2_disable_ioctl>`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`, cmd).
This tends to be needed if based on external factors (e.g. which card is
being used) you want to turns off certain features in :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops`
without having to make a new struct.
The :c:type:`v4l2_file_operations` struct is a subset of file_operations.
The main difference is that the inode argument is omitted since it is never
used.
If integration with the media framework is needed, you must initialize the
:c:type:`media_entity` struct embedded in the :c:type:`video_device` struct
(entity field) by calling :c:func:`media_entity_pads_init`:
.. code-block:: c
struct media_pad *pad = &my_vdev->pad;
int err;
err = media_entity_pads_init(&vdev->entity, 1, pad);
The pads array must have been previously initialized. There is no need to
manually set the struct media_entity type and name fields.
A reference to the entity will be automatically acquired/released when the
video device is opened/closed.
ioctls and locking
------------------
The V4L core provides optional locking services. The main service is the
lock field in struct :c:type:`video_device`, which is a pointer to a mutex.
If you set this pointer, then that will be used by unlocked_ioctl to
serialize all ioctls.
If you are using the :ref:`videobuf2 framework <vb2_framework>`, then there
is a second lock that you can set: :c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock. If
set, then this lock will be used instead of :c:type:`video_device`->lock
to serialize all queuing ioctls (see the previous section
for the full list of those ioctls).
The advantage of using a different lock for the queuing ioctls is that for some
drivers (particularly USB drivers) certain commands such as setting controls
can take a long time, so you want to use a separate lock for the buffer queuing
ioctls. That way your ``VIDIOC_DQBUF`` doesn't stall because the driver is busy
changing the e.g. exposure of the webcam.
Of course, you can always do all the locking yourself by leaving both lock
pointers at ``NULL``.
If you use the old :ref:`videobuf framework <vb_framework>` then you must
pass the :c:type:`video_device`->lock to the videobuf queue initialize
function: if videobuf has to wait for a frame to arrive, then it will
temporarily unlock the lock and relock it afterwards. If your driver also
waits in the code, then you should do the same to allow other
processes to access the device node while the first process is waiting for
something.
In the case of :ref:`videobuf2 <vb2_framework>` you will need to implement the
``wait_prepare()`` and ``wait_finish()`` callbacks to unlock/lock if applicable.
If you use the ``queue->lock`` pointer, then you can use the helper functions
:c:func:`vb2_ops_wait_prepare` and :cpp:func:`vb2_ops_wait_finish`.
The implementation of a hotplug disconnect should also take the lock from
:c:type:`video_device` before calling v4l2_device_disconnect. If you are also
using :c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock, then you have to first lock
:c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock followed by :c:type:`video_device`->lock.
That way you can be sure no ioctl is running when you call
:c:type:`v4l2_device_disconnect`.
Video device registration
-------------------------
Next you register the video device with :c:func:`video_register_device`.
This will create the character device for you.
.. code-block:: c
err = video_register_device(vdev, VFL_TYPE_GRABBER, -1);
if (err) {
video_device_release(vdev); /* or kfree(my_vdev); */
return err;
}
If the :c:type:`v4l2_device` parent device has a not ``NULL`` mdev field,
the video device entity will be automatically registered with the media
device.
Which device is registered depends on the type argument. The following
types exist:
- ``VFL_TYPE_GRABBER``: ``/dev/videoX`` for video input/output devices
- ``VFL_TYPE_VBI``: ``/dev/vbiX`` for vertical blank data (i.e. closed captions, teletext)
- ``VFL_TYPE_RADIO``: ``/dev/radioX`` for radio tuners
- ``VFL_TYPE_SDR``: ``/dev/swradioX`` for Software Defined Radio tuners
The last argument gives you a certain amount of control over the device
device node number used (i.e. the X in ``videoX``). Normally you will pass -1
to let the v4l2 framework pick the first free number. But sometimes users
want to select a specific node number. It is common that drivers allow
the user to select a specific device node number through a driver module
option. That number is then passed to this function and video_register_device
will attempt to select that device node number. If that number was already
in use, then the next free device node number will be selected and it
will send a warning to the kernel log.
Another use-case is if a driver creates many devices. In that case it can
be useful to place different video devices in separate ranges. For example,
video capture devices start at 0, video output devices start at 16.
So you can use the last argument to specify a minimum device node number
and the v4l2 framework will try to pick the first free number that is equal
or higher to what you passed. If that fails, then it will just pick the
first free number.
Since in this case you do not care about a warning about not being able
to select the specified device node number, you can call the function
:c:func:`video_register_device_no_warn` instead.
Whenever a device node is created some attributes are also created for you.
If you look in ``/sys/class/video4linux`` you see the devices. Go into e.g.
``video0`` and you will see 'name', 'dev_debug' and 'index' attributes. The
'name' attribute is the 'name' field of the video_device struct. The
'dev_debug' attribute can be used to enable core debugging. See the next
section for more detailed information on this.
The 'index' attribute is the index of the device node: for each call to
:c:func:`video_register_device()` the index is just increased by 1. The
first video device node you register always starts with index 0.
Users can setup udev rules that utilize the index attribute to make fancy
device names (e.g. '``mpegX``' for MPEG video capture device nodes).
After the device was successfully registered, then you can use these fields:
- :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_type: the device type passed to
:c:func:`video_register_device`.
- :c:type:`video_device`->minor: the assigned device minor number.
- :c:type:`video_device`->num: the device node number (i.e. the X in
``videoX``).
- :c:type:`video_device`->index: the device index number.
If the registration failed, then you need to call
:c:func:`video_device_release` to free the allocated :c:type:`video_device`
struct, or free your own struct if the :c:type:`video_device` was embedded in
it. The ``vdev->release()`` callback will never be called if the registration
failed, nor should you ever attempt to unregister the device if the
registration failed.
video device debugging
----------------------
The 'dev_debug' attribute that is created for each video, vbi, radio or swradio
device in ``/sys/class/video4linux/<devX>/`` allows you to enable logging of
file operations.
It is a bitmask and the following bits can be set:
===== ================================================================
Mask Description
===== ================================================================
0x01 Log the ioctl name and error code. VIDIOC_(D)QBUF ioctls are
only logged if bit 0x08 is also set.
0x02 Log the ioctl name arguments and error code. VIDIOC_(D)QBUF
ioctls are
only logged if bit 0x08 is also set.
0x04 Log the file operations open, release, read, write, mmap and
get_unmapped_area. The read and write operations are only
logged if bit 0x08 is also set.
0x08 Log the read and write file operations and the VIDIOC_QBUF and
VIDIOC_DQBUF ioctls.
0x10 Log the poll file operation.
===== ================================================================
Video device cleanup
--------------------
When the video device nodes have to be removed, either during the unload
of the driver or because the USB device was disconnected, then you should
unregister them with:
:c:func:`video_unregister_device`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`);
This will remove the device nodes from sysfs (causing udev to remove them
from ``/dev``).
After :c:func:`video_unregister_device` returns no new opens can be done.
However, in the case of USB devices some application might still have one of
these device nodes open. So after the unregister all file operations (except
release, of course) will return an error as well.
When the last user of the video device node exits, then the ``vdev->release()``
callback is called and you can do the final cleanup there.
Don't forget to cleanup the media entity associated with the video device if
it has been initialized:
:c:func:`media_entity_cleanup <media_entity_cleanup>`
(&vdev->entity);
This can be done from the release callback.
helper functions
----------------
There are a few useful helper functions:
- file and :c:type:`video_device` private data
You can set/get driver private data in the video_device struct using:
:c:func:`video_get_drvdata <video_get_drvdata>`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`);
:c:func:`video_set_drvdata <video_set_drvdata>`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`);
Note that you can safely call :c:func:`video_set_drvdata` before calling
:c:func:`video_register_device`.
And this function:
:c:func:`video_devdata <video_devdata>`
(struct file \*file);
returns the video_device belonging to the file struct.
The :c:func:`video_devdata` function combines :cpp:func:`video_get_drvdata`
with :c:func:`video_devdata`:
:c:func:`video_drvdata <video_drvdata>`
(struct file \*file);
You can go from a :c:type:`video_device` struct to the v4l2_device struct using:
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = vdev->v4l2_dev;
- Device node name
The :c:type:`video_device` node kernel name can be retrieved using:
:c:func:`video_device_node_name <video_device_node_name>`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`);
The name is used as a hint by userspace tools such as udev. The function
should be used where possible instead of accessing the video_device::num and
video_device::minor fields.

V4L2 device instance
--------------------
Each device instance is represented by a struct :c:type:`v4l2_device`.
Very simple devices can just allocate this struct, but most of the time you
would embed this struct inside a larger struct.
You must register the device instance by calling:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_register <v4l2_device_register>`
(dev, :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`).
Registration will initialize the :c:type:`v4l2_device` struct. If the
dev->driver_data field is ``NULL``, it will be linked to
:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>` argument.
Drivers that want integration with the media device framework need to set
dev->driver_data manually to point to the driver-specific device structure
that embed the struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` instance. This is achieved by a
``dev_set_drvdata()`` call before registering the V4L2 device instance.
They must also set the struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` mdev field to point to a
properly initialized and registered :c:type:`media_device` instance.
If :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`\ ->name is empty then it will be set to a
value derived from dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise).
If you set it up before calling :c:func:`v4l2_device_register` then it will
be untouched. If dev is ``NULL``, then you **must** setup
:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`\ ->name before calling
:c:func:`v4l2_device_register`.
You can use :c:func:`v4l2_device_set_name` to set the name based on a driver
name and a driver-global atomic_t instance. This will generate names like
``ivtv0``, ``ivtv1``, etc. If the name ends with a digit, then it will insert
a dash: ``cx18-0``, ``cx18-1``, etc. This function returns the instance number.
The first ``dev`` argument is normally the ``struct device`` pointer of a
``pci_dev``, ``usb_interface`` or ``platform_device``. It is rare for dev to
be ``NULL``, but it happens with ISA devices or when one device creates
multiple PCI devices, thus making it impossible to associate
:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>` with a particular parent.
You can also supply a ``notify()`` callback that can be called by sub-devices
to notify you of events. Whether you need to set this depends on the
sub-device. Any notifications a sub-device supports must be defined in a header
in ``include/media/subdevice.h``.
V4L2 devices are unregistered by calling:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister`
(:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`).
If the dev->driver_data field points to :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`,
it will be reset to ``NULL``. Unregistering will also automatically unregister
all subdevs from the device.
If you have a hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB device), then when a disconnect
happens the parent device becomes invalid. Since :c:type:`v4l2_device` has a
pointer to that parent device it has to be cleared as well to mark that the
parent is gone. To do this call:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect`
(:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`).
This does *not* unregister the subdevs, so you still need to call the
:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister` function for that. If your driver is not
hotpluggable, then there is no need to call :c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect`.
Sometimes you need to iterate over all devices registered by a specific
driver. This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same
hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv
hardware. The same is true for alsa drivers for example.
You can iterate over all registered devices as follows:
.. code-block:: c
static int callback(struct device *dev, void *p)
{
struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
/* test if this device was inited */
if (v4l2_dev == NULL)
return 0;
...
return 0;
}
int iterate(void *p)
{
struct device_driver *drv;
int err;
/* Find driver 'ivtv' on the PCI bus.
pci_bus_type is a global. For USB busses use usb_bus_type. */
drv = driver_find("ivtv", &pci_bus_type);
/* iterate over all ivtv device instances */
err = driver_for_each_device(drv, NULL, p, callback);
put_driver(drv);
return err;
}
Sometimes you need to keep a running counter of the device instance. This is
commonly used to map a device instance to an index of a module option array.
The recommended approach is as follows:
.. code-block:: c
static atomic_t drv_instance = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
static int drv_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *pci_id)
{
...
state->instance = atomic_inc_return(&drv_instance) - 1;
}
If you have multiple device nodes then it can be difficult to know when it is
safe to unregister :c:type:`v4l2_device` for hotpluggable devices. For this
purpose :c:type:`v4l2_device` has refcounting support. The refcount is
increased whenever :c:func:`video_register_device` is called and it is
decreased whenever that device node is released. When the refcount reaches
zero, then the :c:type:`v4l2_device` release() callback is called. You can
do your final cleanup there.
If other device nodes (e.g. ALSA) are created, then you can increase and
decrease the refcount manually as well by calling:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_get`
(:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`).
or:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_put`
(:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`).
Since the initial refcount is 1 you also need to call
:c:func:`v4l2_device_put` in the ``disconnect()`` callback (for USB devices)
or in the ``remove()`` callback (for e.g. PCI devices), otherwise the refcount
will never reach 0.

V4L2 events
-----------
The V4L2 events provide a generic way to pass events to user space.
The driver must use :c:type:`v4l2_fh` to be able to support V4L2 events.
Events are defined by a type and an optional ID. The ID may refer to a V4L2
object such as a control ID. If unused, then the ID is 0.
When the user subscribes to an event the driver will allocate a number of
kevent structs for that event. So every (type, ID) event tuple will have
its own set of kevent structs. This guarantees that if a driver is generating
lots of events of one type in a short time, then that will not overwrite
events of another type.
But if you get more events of one type than the number of kevents that were
reserved, then the oldest event will be dropped and the new one added.
Furthermore, the internal struct :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` has
``merge()`` and ``replace()`` callbacks which drivers can set. These
callbacks are called when a new event is raised and there is no more room.
The ``replace()`` callback allows you to replace the payload of the old event
with that of the new event, merging any relevant data from the old payload
into the new payload that replaces it. It is called when this event type has
only one kevent struct allocated. The ``merge()`` callback allows you to merge
the oldest event payload into that of the second-oldest event payload. It is
called when there are two or more kevent structs allocated.
This way no status information is lost, just the intermediate steps leading
up to that state.
A good example of these ``replace``/``merge`` callbacks is in v4l2-event.c:
``ctrls_replace()`` and ``ctrls_merge()`` callbacks for the control event.
.. note::
these callbacks can be called from interrupt context, so they must
be fast.
In order to queue events to video device, drivers should call:
:c:func:`v4l2_event_queue <v4l2_event_queue>`
(:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`, :ref:`ev <v4l2-event>`)
The driver's only responsibility is to fill in the type and the data fields.
The other fields will be filled in by V4L2.
Event subscription
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Subscribing to an event is via:
:c:func:`v4l2_event_subscribe <v4l2_event_subscribe>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`, :ref:`sub <v4l2-event-subscription>` ,
elems, :c:type:`ops <v4l2_subscribed_event_ops>`)
This function is used to implement :c:type:`video_device`->
:c:type:`ioctl_ops <v4l2_ioctl_ops>`-> ``vidioc_subscribe_event``,
but the driver must check first if the driver is able to produce events
with specified event id, and then should call
:c:func:`v4l2_event_subscribe` to subscribe the event.
The elems argument is the size of the event queue for this event. If it is 0,
then the framework will fill in a default value (this depends on the event
type).
The ops argument allows the driver to specify a number of callbacks:
======== ==============================================================
Callback Description
======== ==============================================================
add called when a new listener gets added (subscribing to the same
event twice will only cause this callback to get called once)
del called when a listener stops listening
replace replace event 'old' with event 'new'.
merge merge event 'old' into event 'new'.
======== ==============================================================
All 4 callbacks are optional, if you don't want to specify any callbacks
the ops argument itself maybe ``NULL``.
Unsubscribing an event
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unsubscribing to an event is via:
:c:func:`v4l2_event_unsubscribe <v4l2_event_unsubscribe>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`, :ref:`sub <v4l2-event-subscription>`)
This function is used to implement :c:type:`video_device`->
:c:type:`ioctl_ops <v4l2_ioctl_ops>`-> ``vidioc_unsubscribe_event``.
A driver may call :c:func:`v4l2_event_unsubscribe` directly unless it
wants to be involved in unsubscription process.
The special type ``V4L2_EVENT_ALL`` may be used to unsubscribe all events. The
drivers may want to handle this in a special way.
Check if there's a pending event
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Checking if there's a pending event is via:
:c:func:`v4l2_event_pending <v4l2_event_pending>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`)
This function returns the number of pending events. Useful when implementing
poll.
How events work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver
can use :c:type:`v4l2_fh`->wait (a wait_queue_head_t) as the argument for
``poll_wait()``.
There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the
smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from
their own class starting from class base. Class base is
``V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START`` + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first
available event type is 'class base + 1'.
An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
3 ISP driver (``drivers/media/platform/omap3isp``).
A subdev can directly send an event to the :c:type:`v4l2_device` notify
function with ``V4L2_DEVICE_NOTIFY_EVENT``. This allows the bridge to map
the subdev that sends the event to the video node(s) associated with the
subdev that need to be informed about such an event.

V4L2 File handlers
------------------
struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh` provides a way to easily keep file handle specific
data that is used by the V4L2 framework.
.. attention::
New drivers must use struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh`
since it is also used to implement priority handling
(:ref:`VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY`).
The users of :c:type:`v4l2_fh` (in the V4L2 framework, not the driver) know
whether a driver uses :c:type:`v4l2_fh` as its ``file->private_data`` pointer
by testing the ``V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH`` bit in :c:type:`video_device`->flags.
This bit is set whenever :c:func:`v4l2_fh_init` is called.
struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh` is allocated as a part of the driver's own file handle
structure and ``file->private_data`` is set to it in the driver's ``open()``
function by the driver.
In many cases the struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh` will be embedded in a larger
structure. In that case you should call:
#) :c:func:`v4l2_fh_init` and :cpp:func:`v4l2_fh_add` in ``open()``
#) :c:func:`v4l2_fh_del` and :cpp:func:`v4l2_fh_exit` in ``release()``
Drivers can extract their own file handle structure by using the container_of
macro.
Example:
.. code-block:: c
struct my_fh {
int blah;
struct v4l2_fh fh;
};
...
int my_open(struct file *file)
{
struct my_fh *my_fh;
struct video_device *vfd;
int ret;
...
my_fh = kzalloc(sizeof(*my_fh), GFP_KERNEL);
...
v4l2_fh_init(&my_fh->fh, vfd);
...
file->private_data = &my_fh->fh;
v4l2_fh_add(&my_fh->fh);
return 0;
}
int my_release(struct file *file)
{
struct v4l2_fh *fh = file->private_data;
struct my_fh *my_fh = container_of(fh, struct my_fh, fh);
...
v4l2_fh_del(&my_fh->fh);
v4l2_fh_exit(&my_fh->fh);
kfree(my_fh);
return 0;
}
Below is a short description of the :c:type:`v4l2_fh` functions used:
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_init <v4l2_fh_init>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`, :c:type:`vdev <video_device>`)
- Initialise the file handle. This **MUST** be performed in the driver's
:c:type:`v4l2_file_operations`->open() handler.
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_add <v4l2_fh_add>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`)
- Add a :c:type:`v4l2_fh` to :c:type:`video_device` file handle list.
Must be called once the file handle is completely initialized.
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_del <v4l2_fh_del>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`)
- Unassociate the file handle from :c:type:`video_device`. The file handle
exit function may now be called.
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_exit <v4l2_fh_exit>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`)
- Uninitialise the file handle. After uninitialisation the :c:type:`v4l2_fh`
memory can be freed.
If struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh` is not embedded, then you can use these helper functions:
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_open <v4l2_fh_open>`
(struct file \*filp)
- This allocates a struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh`, initializes it and adds it to
the struct :c:type:`video_device` associated with the file struct.
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_release <v4l2_fh_release>`
(struct file \*filp)
- This deletes it from the struct :c:type:`video_device` associated with the
file struct, uninitialised the :c:type:`v4l2_fh` and frees it.
These two functions can be plugged into the v4l2_file_operation's ``open()``
and ``release()`` ops.
Several drivers need to do something when the first file handle is opened and
when the last file handle closes. Two helper functions were added to check
whether the :c:type:`v4l2_fh` struct is the only open filehandle of the
associated device node:
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_is_singular <v4l2_fh_is_singular>`
(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`)
- Returns 1 if the file handle is the only open file handle, else 0.
:c:func:`v4l2_fh_is_singular_file <v4l2_fh_is_singular_file>`
(struct file \*filp)
- Same, but it calls v4l2_fh_is_singular with filp->private_data.

Introduction
------------
The V4L2 drivers tend to be very complex due to the complexity of the
hardware: most devices have multiple ICs, export multiple device nodes in
/dev, and create also non-V4L2 devices such as DVB, ALSA, FB, I2C and input
(IR) devices.
Especially the fact that V4L2 drivers have to setup supporting ICs to
do audio/video muxing/encoding/decoding makes it more complex than most.
Usually these ICs are connected to the main bridge driver through one or
more I2C busses, but other busses can also be used. Such devices are
called 'sub-devices'.
For a long time the framework was limited to the video_device struct for
creating V4L device nodes and video_buf for handling the video buffers
(note that this document does not discuss the video_buf framework).
This meant that all drivers had to do the setup of device instances and
connecting to sub-devices themselves. Some of this is quite complicated
to do right and many drivers never did do it correctly.
There is also a lot of common code that could never be refactored due to
the lack of a framework.
So this framework sets up the basic building blocks that all drivers
need and this same framework should make it much easier to refactor
common code into utility functions shared by all drivers.
A good example to look at as a reference is the v4l2-pci-skeleton.c
source that is available in samples/v4l/. It is a skeleton driver for
a PCI capture card, and demonstrates how to use the V4L2 driver
framework. It can be used as a template for real PCI video capture driver.
Structure of a V4L driver
-------------------------
All drivers have the following structure:
1) A struct for each device instance containing the device state.
2) A way of initializing and commanding sub-devices (if any).
3) Creating V4L2 device nodes (/dev/videoX, /dev/vbiX and /dev/radioX)
and keeping track of device-node specific data.
4) Filehandle-specific structs containing per-filehandle data;
5) video buffer handling.
This is a rough schematic of how it all relates:
.. code-block:: none
device instances
|
+-sub-device instances
|
\-V4L2 device nodes
|
\-filehandle instances
Structure of the V4L2 framework
-------------------------------
The framework closely resembles the driver structure: it has a v4l2_device
struct for the device instance data, a v4l2_subdev struct to refer to
sub-device instances, the video_device struct stores V4L2 device node data
and the v4l2_fh struct keeps track of filehandle instances.
The V4L2 framework also optionally integrates with the media framework. If a
driver sets the struct v4l2_device mdev field, sub-devices and video nodes
will automatically appear in the media framework as entities.

V4L2 sub-devices
----------------
Many drivers need to communicate with sub-devices. These devices can do all
sort of tasks, but most commonly they handle audio and/or video muxing,
encoding or decoding. For webcams common sub-devices are sensors and camera
controllers.
Usually these are I2C devices, but not necessarily. In order to provide the
driver with a consistent interface to these sub-devices the
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct (v4l2-subdev.h) was created.
Each sub-device driver must have a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct. This struct
can be stand-alone for simple sub-devices or it might be embedded in a larger
struct if more state information needs to be stored. Usually there is a
low-level device struct (e.g. ``i2c_client``) that contains the device data as
setup by the kernel. It is recommended to store that pointer in the private
data of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` using :c:func:`v4l2_set_subdevdata`. That makes
it easy to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` to the actual low-level bus-specific
device data.
You also need a way to go from the low-level struct to :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.
For the common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store
a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer, for other busses you may have to use other
methods.
Bridges might also need to store per-subdev private data, such as a pointer to
bridge-specific per-subdev private data. The :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` structure
provides host private data for that purpose that can be accessed with
:c:func:`v4l2_get_subdev_hostdata` and :cpp:func:`v4l2_set_subdev_hostdata`.
From the bridge driver perspective, you load the sub-device module and somehow
obtain the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call
``i2c_get_clientdata()``. For other busses something similar needs to be done.
Helper functions exists for sub-devices on an I2C bus that do most of this
tricky work for you.
Each :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` contains function pointers that sub-device drivers
can implement (or leave ``NULL`` if it is not applicable). Since sub-devices can
do so many different things and you do not want to end up with a huge ops struct
of which only a handful of ops are commonly implemented, the function pointers
are sorted according to category and each category has its own ops struct.
The top-level ops struct contains pointers to the category ops structs, which
may be NULL if the subdev driver does not support anything from that category.
It looks like this:
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops {
int (*log_status)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd);
int (*init)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u32 val);
...
};
struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops {
...
};
struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops {
...
};
struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops {
...
};
struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops {
...
};
struct v4l2_subdev_ops {
const struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops *core;
const struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops *tuner;
const struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops *audio;
const struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops *video;
const struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops *video;
};
The core ops are common to all subdevs, the other categories are implemented
depending on the sub-device. E.g. a video device is unlikely to support the
audio ops and vice versa.
This setup limits the number of function pointers while still making it easy
to add new ops and categories.
A sub-device driver initializes the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct using:
:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_init <v4l2_subdev_init>`
(:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`, &\ :c:type:`ops <v4l2_subdev_ops>`).
Afterwards you need to initialize :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->name with a
unique name and set the module owner. This is done for you if you use the
i2c helper functions.
If integration with the media framework is needed, you must initialize the
:c:type:`media_entity` struct embedded in the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct
(entity field) by calling :c:func:`media_entity_pads_init`, if the entity has
pads:
.. code-block:: c
struct media_pad *pads = &my_sd->pads;
int err;
err = media_entity_pads_init(&sd->entity, npads, pads);
The pads array must have been previously initialized. There is no need to
manually set the struct :c:type:`media_entity` function and name fields, but the
revision field must be initialized if needed.
A reference to the entity will be automatically acquired/released when the
subdev device node (if any) is opened/closed.
Don't forget to cleanup the media entity before the sub-device is destroyed:
.. code-block:: c
media_entity_cleanup(&sd->entity);
If the subdev driver intends to process video and integrate with the media
framework, it must implement format related functionality using
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_pad_ops` instead of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_video_ops`.
In that case, the subdev driver may set the link_validate field to provide
its own link validation function. The link validation function is called for
every link in the pipeline where both of the ends of the links are V4L2
sub-devices. The driver is still responsible for validating the correctness
of the format configuration between sub-devices and video nodes.
If link_validate op is not set, the default function
:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_link_validate_default` is used instead. This function
ensures that width, height and the media bus pixel code are equal on both source
and sink of the link. Subdev drivers are also free to use this function to
perform the checks mentioned above in addition to their own checks.
There are currently two ways to register subdevices with the V4L2 core. The
first (traditional) possibility is to have subdevices registered by bridge
drivers. This can be done when the bridge driver has the complete information
about subdevices connected to it and knows exactly when to register them. This
is typically the case for internal subdevices, like video data processing units
within SoCs or complex PCI(e) boards, camera sensors in USB cameras or connected
to SoCs, which pass information about them to bridge drivers, usually in their
platform data.
There are however also situations where subdevices have to be registered
asynchronously to bridge devices. An example of such a configuration is a Device
Tree based system where information about subdevices is made available to the
system independently from the bridge devices, e.g. when subdevices are defined
in DT as I2C device nodes. The API used in this second case is described further
below.
Using one or the other registration method only affects the probing process, the
run-time bridge-subdevice interaction is in both cases the same.
In the synchronous case a device (bridge) driver needs to register the
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` with the v4l2_device:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev <v4l2_device_register_subdev>`
(:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`, :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`).
This can fail if the subdev module disappeared before it could be registered.
After this function was called successfully the subdev->dev field points to
the :c:type:`v4l2_device`.
If the v4l2_device parent device has a non-NULL mdev field, the sub-device
entity will be automatically registered with the media device.
You can unregister a sub-device using:
:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev <v4l2_device_unregister_subdev>`
(:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`).
Afterwards the subdev module can be unloaded and
:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->dev == ``NULL``.
You can call an ops function either directly:
.. code-block:: c
err = sd->ops->core->g_std(sd, &norm);
but it is better and easier to use this macro:
.. code-block:: c
err = v4l2_subdev_call(sd, core, g_std, &norm);
The macro will to the right ``NULL`` pointer checks and returns ``-ENODEV``
if :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>` is ``NULL``, ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` if either
:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core or :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core->g_std is ``NULL``, or the actual result of the
:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->ops->core->g_std ops.
It is also possible to call all or a subset of the sub-devices:
.. code-block:: c
v4l2_device_call_all(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm);
Any subdev that does not support this ops is skipped and error results are
ignored. If you want to check for errors use this:
.. code-block:: c
err = v4l2_device_call_until_err(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm);
Any error except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` will exit the loop with that error. If no
errors (except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD``) occurred, then 0 is returned.
The second argument to both calls is a group ID. If 0, then all subdevs are
called. If non-zero, then only those whose group ID match that value will
be called. Before a bridge driver registers a subdev it can set
:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->grp_id to whatever value it wants (it's 0 by
default). This value is owned by the bridge driver and the sub-device driver
will never modify or use it.
The group ID gives the bridge driver more control how callbacks are called.
For example, there may be multiple audio chips on a board, each capable of
changing the volume. But usually only one will actually be used when the
user want to change the volume. You can set the group ID for that subdev to
e.g. AUDIO_CONTROLLER and specify that as the group ID value when calling
``v4l2_device_call_all()``. That ensures that it will only go to the subdev
that needs it.
If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then
it can call ``v4l2_subdev_notify(sd, notification, arg)``. This macro checks
whether there is a ``notify()`` callback defined and returns ``-ENODEV`` if not.
Otherwise the result of the ``notify()`` call is returned.
The advantage of using :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` is that it is a generic struct and
does not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might
contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is
controlled through GPIO pins. This distinction is only relevant when setting
up the device, but once the subdev is registered it is completely transparent.
In the asynchronous case subdevice probing can be invoked independently of the
bridge driver availability. The subdevice driver then has to verify whether all
the requirements for a successful probing are satisfied. This can include a
check for a master clock availability. If any of the conditions aren't satisfied
the driver might decide to return ``-EPROBE_DEFER`` to request further reprobing
attempts. Once all conditions are met the subdevice shall be registered using
the :c:func:`v4l2_async_register_subdev` function. Unregistration is
performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_unregister_subdev` call. Subdevices
registered this way are stored in a global list of subdevices, ready to be
picked up by bridge drivers.
Bridge drivers in turn have to register a notifier object with an array of
subdevice descriptors that the bridge device needs for its operation. This is
performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_register` call. To
unregister the notifier the driver has to call
:c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_unregister`. The former of the two functions
takes two arguments: a pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` and a pointer to
struct :c:type:`v4l2_async_notifier`. The latter contains a pointer to an array
of pointers to subdevice descriptors of type struct :c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev`
type. The V4L2 core will then use these descriptors to match asynchronously
registered
subdevices to them. If a match is detected the ``.bound()`` notifier callback
is called. After all subdevices have been located the .complete() callback is
called. When a subdevice is removed from the system the .unbind() method is
called. All three callbacks are optional.
V4L2 sub-device userspace API
-----------------------------
Beside exposing a kernel API through the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_ops` structure,
V4L2 sub-devices can also be controlled directly by userspace applications.
Device nodes named ``v4l-subdev``\ *X* can be created in ``/dev`` to access
sub-devices directly. If a sub-device supports direct userspace configuration
it must set the ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` flag before being registered.
After registering sub-devices, the :c:type:`v4l2_device` driver can create
device nodes for all registered sub-devices marked with
``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` by calling
:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev_nodes`. Those device nodes will be
automatically removed when sub-devices are unregistered.
The device node handles a subset of the V4L2 API.
``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL``,
``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU``,
``VIDIOC_G_CTRL``,
``VIDIOC_S_CTRL``,
``VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS``,
``VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`` and
``VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS``:
The controls ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They
behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with
controls implemented in the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those
controls can be also be accessed through one (or several) V4L2 device
nodes.
``VIDIOC_DQEVENT``,
``VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT`` and
``VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT``
The events ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They
behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with
events generated by the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those
events can also be reported by one (or several) V4L2 device nodes.
Sub-device drivers that want to use events need to set the
``V4L2_SUBDEV_USES_EVENTS`` :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.flags and initialize
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.nevents to events queue depth before registering
the sub-device. After registration events can be queued as usual on the
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.devnode device node.
To properly support events, the ``poll()`` file operation is also
implemented.
Private ioctls
All ioctls not in the above list are passed directly to the sub-device
driver through the core::ioctl operation.
I2C sub-device drivers
----------------------
Since these drivers are so common, special helper functions are available to
ease the use of these drivers (``v4l2-common.h``).
The recommended method of adding :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` support to an I2C driver
is to embed the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct into the state struct that is
created for each I2C device instance. Very simple devices have no state
struct and in that case you can just create a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` directly.
A typical state struct would look like this (where 'chipname' is replaced by
the name of the chip):
.. code-block:: c
struct chipname_state {
struct v4l2_subdev sd;
... /* additional state fields */
};
Initialize the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct as follows:
.. code-block:: c
v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(&state->sd, client, subdev_ops);
This function will fill in all the fields of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` ensure that
the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` and i2c_client both point to one another.
You should also add a helper inline function to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`
pointer to a chipname_state struct:
.. code-block:: c
static inline struct chipname_state *to_state(struct v4l2_subdev *sd)
{
return container_of(sd, struct chipname_state, sd);
}
Use this to go from the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct to the ``i2c_client``
struct:
.. code-block:: c
struct i2c_client *client = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd);
And this to go from an ``i2c_client`` to a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct:
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_subdev *sd = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
Make sure to call
:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`)
when the ``remove()`` callback is called. This will unregister the sub-device
from the bridge driver. It is safe to call this even if the sub-device was
never registered.
You need to do this because when the bridge driver destroys the i2c adapter
the ``remove()`` callbacks are called of the i2c devices on that adapter.
After that the corresponding v4l2_subdev structures are invalid, so they
have to be unregistered first. Calling
:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`)
from the ``remove()`` callback ensures that this is always done correctly.
The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use:
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(v4l2_dev, adapter,
"module_foo", "chipid", 0x36, NULL);
This loads the given module (can be ``NULL`` if no module needs to be loaded)
and calls :c:func:`i2c_new_device` with the given ``i2c_adapter`` and
chip/address arguments. If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with
the v4l2_device.
You can also use the last argument of :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` to pass
an array of possible I2C addresses that it should probe. These probe addresses
are only used if the previous argument is 0. A non-zero argument means that you
know the exact i2c address so in that case no probing will take place.
Both functions return ``NULL`` if something went wrong.
Note that the chipid you pass to :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` is usually
the same as the module name. It allows you to specify a chip variant, e.g.
"saa7114" or "saa7115". In general though the i2c driver autodetects this.
The use of chipid is something that needs to be looked at more closely at a
later date. It differs between i2c drivers and as such can be confusing.
To see which chip variants are supported you can look in the i2c driver code
for the i2c_device_id table. This lists all the possibilities.
There are two more helper functions:
:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_cfg`: this function adds new irq and
platform_data arguments and has both 'addr' and 'probed_addrs' arguments:
if addr is not 0 then that will be used (non-probing variant), otherwise the
probed_addrs are probed.
For example: this will probe for address 0x10:
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_cfg(v4l2_dev, adapter,
"module_foo", "chipid", 0, NULL, 0, I2C_ADDRS(0x10));
:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board` uses an :c:type:`i2c_board_info` struct
which is passed to the i2c driver and replaces the irq, platform_data and addr
arguments.
If the subdev supports the s_config core ops, then that op is called with
the irq and platform_data arguments after the subdev was setup.
The older :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` and
:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev` functions will call ``s_config`` as
well, but with irq set to 0 and platform_data set to ``NULL``.

cec-ioctl - Control a cec device
Synopsis
========
.. code-block:: c
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, void *argp )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
``request``
CEC ioctl request code as defined in the cec.h header file, for
example :ref:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS`.
``argp``
Pointer to a request-specific structure.
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
The :c:func:`ioctl()` function manipulates cec device parameters. The
argument ``fd`` must be an open file descriptor.
The ioctl ``request`` code specifies the cec function to be called. It
has encoded in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
parameter, and the size of the argument ``argp`` in bytes.
Macros and structures definitions specifying cec ioctl requests and
their parameters are located in the cec.h header file. All cec ioctl
requests, their respective function and parameters are specified in
:ref:`cec-user-func`.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
Request-specific error codes are listed in the individual requests
descriptions.
When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails, the
parameter remains unmodified.

Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
To open a cec device applications call :c:func:`open()` with the
desired device name. The function has no side effects; the device
configuration remain unchanged.
When the device is opened in read-only mode, attempts to modify its
configuration will result in an error, and ``errno`` will be set to
EBADF.
Return Value
============
:c:func:`open()` returns the new file descriptor on success. On error,
-1 is returned, and ``errno`` is set appropriately. Possible error codes
include:
``EACCES``
The requested access to the file is not allowed.
``EMFILE``
The process already has the maximum number of files open.
``ENFILE``
The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
``ENOMEM``
Insufficient kernel memory was available.
``ENXIO``
No device corresponding to this device special file exists.

cec-poll - Wait for some event on a file descriptor
Synopsis
========
.. code-block:: c

Arguments
=========
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
With the :c:func:`poll()` function applications can wait for CEC
events.
On success :c:func:`poll()` returns the number of file descriptors
that have been selected (that is, file descriptors for which the
``revents`` field of the respective :c:type:`struct pollfd` structure
is non-zero). CEC devices set the ``POLLIN`` and ``POLLRDNORM`` flags in
the ``revents`` field if there are messages in the receive queue. If the
transmit queue has room for new messages, the ``POLLOUT`` and
``POLLWRNORM`` flags are set. If there are events in the event queue,
then the ``POLLPRI`` flag is set. When the function timed out it returns
a value of zero, on failure it returns -1 and the ``errno`` variable is
set appropriately.
For more details see the :c:func:`poll()` manual page.
Return Value
============
On success, :c:func:`poll()` returns the number structures which have
non-zero ``revents`` fields, or zero if the call timed out. On error -1
is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately:
``EBADF``
One or more of the ``ufds`` members specify an invalid file
descriptor.
``EFAULT``
``ufds`` references an inaccessible memory area.
``EINTR``
The call was interrupted by a signal.
``EINVAL``
The ``nfds`` argument is greater than ``OPEN_MAX``.

Introduction
============
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
HDMI connectors provide a single pin for use by the Consumer Electronics
Control protocol. This protocol allows different devices connected by an
HDMI cable to communicate. The protocol for CEC version 1.4 is defined
in supplements 1 (CEC) and 2 (HEAC or HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return
Channel) of the HDMI 1.4a (:ref:`hdmi`) specification and the
extensions added to CEC version 2.0 are defined in chapter 11 of the
HDMI 2.0 (:ref:`hdmi2`) specification.
The bitrate is very slow (effectively no more than 36 bytes per second)
and is based on the ancient AV.link protocol used in old SCART
connectors. The protocol closely resembles a crazy Rube Goldberg
contraption and is an unholy mix of low and high level messages. Some
messages, especially those part of the HEAC protocol layered on top of
CEC, need to be handled by the kernel, others can be handled either by
the kernel or by userspace.
In addition, CEC can be implemented in HDMI receivers, transmitters and
in USB devices that have an HDMI input and an HDMI output and that
control just the CEC pin.
Drivers that support CEC will create a CEC device node (/dev/cecX) to
give userspace access to the CEC adapter. The
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS` ioctl will tell userspace what it is allowed to do.

Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
All cec devices must support :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS <CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS>`. To query
device information, applications call the ioctl with a pointer to a
struct :ref:`cec_caps <cec-caps>`. The driver fills the structure and
returns the information to the application. The ioctl never fails.

this capability isn't set, then setting the physical address is
handled by the kernel whenever the EDID is set (for an HDMI
receiver) or read (for an HDMI transmitter).
- .. _`CEC-CAP-LOG-ADDRS`:
- ``CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS``

- Userspace has to configure the logical addresses by calling

this capability isn't set, then the kernel will have configured
this.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-TRANSMIT`:
- ``CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT``
- 0x00000004
- Userspace can transmit CEC messages by calling
:ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. This implies that
userspace can be a follower as well, since being able to transmit
messages is a prerequisite of becoming a follower. If this
capability isn't set, then the kernel will handle all CEC
transmits and process all CEC messages it receives.

- This adapter supports the remote control protocol.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-MONITOR-ALL`:

- 0x00000020
- The CEC hardware can monitor all messages, not just directed and
broadcast messages.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

CEC_ADAP_G_LOG_ADDRS, CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS - Get or set the logical addresses
Synopsis

.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_log_addrs *argp )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
``request``
CEC_ADAP_G_LOG_ADDRS, CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS
``argp``
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
To query the current CEC logical addresses, applications call
:ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_G_LOG_ADDRS>` with a pointer to a
:c:type:`struct cec_log_addrs` where the driver stores the logical addresses.
To set new logical addresses, applications fill in
:c:type:`struct cec_log_addrs` and call :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
with a pointer to this struct. The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
is only available if ``CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS`` is set (the ``ENOTTY`` error code is
returned otherwise). The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
can only be called by a file descriptor in initiator mode (see :ref:`CEC_S_MODE`), if not
the ``EBUSY`` error code will be returned.
To clear existing logical addresses set ``num_log_addrs`` to 0. All other fields
will be ignored in that case. The adapter will go to the unconfigured state.
If the physical address is valid (see :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>`),
then this ioctl will block until all requested logical
addresses have been claimed. If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode then it will
not wait for the logical addresses to be claimed, instead it just returns 0.
A :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <CEC-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE>` event is sent when the
logical addresses are claimed or cleared.
Attempting to call :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>` when
logical address types are already defined will return with error ``EBUSY``.

:widths: 1 1 16
- .. row 1
- __u8
- ``log_addr[CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS]``
- The actual logical addresses that were claimed. This is set by the
driver. If no logical address could be claimed, then it is set to
``CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID``. If this adapter is Unregistered, then
``log_addr[0]`` is set to 0xf and all others to
``CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID``.
- .. row 2
- __u16
- ``log_addr_mask``
- The bitmask of all logical addresses this adapter has claimed. If
this adapter is Unregistered then ``log_addr_mask`` sets bit 15
and clears all other bits. If this adapter is not configured at
all, then ``log_addr_mask`` is set to 0. Set by the driver.
- .. row 3
- __u8
- ``cec_version``
- The CEC version that this adapter shall use. See
:ref:`cec-versions`. Used to implement the
``CEC_MSG_CEC_VERSION`` and ``CEC_MSG_REPORT_FEATURES`` messages.
Note that :ref:`CEC_OP_CEC_VERSION_1_3A <CEC-OP-CEC-VERSION-1-3A>` is not allowed by the CEC
framework.
- .. row 4
- __u8
- ``num_log_addrs``
- Number of logical addresses to set up. Must be ≤
``available_log_addrs`` as returned by
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS`. All arrays in
this structure are only filled up to index
``available_log_addrs``-1. The remaining array elements will be
ignored. Note that the CEC 2.0 standard allows for a maximum of 2
logical addresses, although some hardware has support for more.
``CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS`` is 4. The driver will return the actual
number of logical addresses it could claim, which may be less than
what was requested. If this field is set to 0, then the CEC
adapter shall clear all claimed logical addresses and all other
fields will be ignored.
- .. row 5
- __u32
- ``vendor_id``
- The vendor ID is a 24-bit number that identifies the specific
vendor or entity. Based on this ID vendor specific commands may be
defined. If you do not want a vendor ID then set it to
``CEC_VENDOR_ID_NONE``.
- .. row 6

- The On-Screen Display name as is returned by the
``CEC_MSG_SET_OSD_NAME`` message.
- .. row 8

- Primary device type for each logical address. See
:ref:`cec-prim-dev-types` for possible types.
- .. row 9
- __u8
- ``log_addr_type[CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS]``
- Logical address types. See :ref:`cec-log-addr-types` for
possible types. The driver will update this with the actual
logical address type that it claimed (e.g. it may have to fallback
to :ref:`CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_UNREGISTERED <CEC-LOG-ADDR-TYPE-UNREGISTERED>`).
- .. row 10
- __u8
- ``all_device_types[CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS]``
- CEC 2.0 specific: the bit mask of all device types. See
:ref:`cec-all-dev-types-flags`. It is used in the CEC 2.0
``CEC_MSG_REPORT_FEATURES`` message. For CEC 1.4 you can either leave
this field to 0, or fill it in according to the CEC 2.0 guidelines to
give the CEC framework more information about the device type, even
though the framework won't use it directly in the CEC message.
- .. row 11
- __u8
- ``features[CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS][12]``
- Features for each logical address. It is used in the CEC 2.0
``CEC_MSG_REPORT_FEATURES`` message. The 12 bytes include both the
RC Profile and the Device Features. For CEC 1.4 you can either leave
this field to all 0, or fill it in according to the CEC 2.0 guidelines to
give the CEC framework more information about the device type, even
though the framework won't use it directly in the CEC message.

``argp``
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
To query the current physical address applications call
:ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR>` with a pointer to a __u16 where the
driver stores the physical address.
To set a new physical address applications store the physical address in
a __u16 and call :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` with a pointer to
this integer. The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` is only available if
``CEC_CAP_PHYS_ADDR`` is set (the ``ENOTTY`` error code will be returned
otherwise). The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` can only be called
by a file descriptor in initiator mode (see :ref:`CEC_S_MODE`), if not
the ``EBUSY`` error code will be returned.
To clear an existing physical address use ``CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID``.
The adapter will go to the unconfigured state.
If logical address types have been defined (see :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`),
then this ioctl will block until all
requested logical addresses have been claimed. If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode
then it will not wait for the logical addresses to be claimed, instead it just returns 0.
A :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <CEC-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE>` event is sent when the physical address
changes.
The physical address is a 16-bit number where each group of 4 bits
represent a digit of the physical address a.b.c.d where the most
significant 4 bits represent 'a'. The CEC root device (usually the TV)
has address 0.0.0.0. Every device that is hooked up to an input of the
TV has address a.0.0.0 (where 'a' is ≥ 1), devices hooked up to those in
turn have addresses a.b.0.0, etc. So a topology of up to 5 devices deep
is supported. The physical address a device shall use is stored in the
EDID of the sink.
For example, the EDID for each HDMI input of the TV will have a
different physical address of the form a.0.0.0 that the sources will
read out and use as their physical address.

.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized

CEC devices can send asynchronous events. These can be retrieved by
calling :ref:`ioctl CEC_DQEVENT <CEC_DQEVENT>`. If the file descriptor is in
non-blocking mode and no event is pending, then it will return -1 and
set errno to the ``EAGAIN`` error code.
The internal event queues are per-filehandle and per-event type. If
there is no more room in a queue then the last event is overwritten with
the new one. This means that intermediate results can be thrown away but
that the latest event is always available. This also means that is it
possible to read two successive events that have the same value (e.g.
two :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <CEC-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE>` events with
the same state). In that case the intermediate state changes were lost but
it is guaranteed that the state did change in between the two events.

CEC_G_MODE, CEC_S_MODE - Get or set exclusive use of the CEC adapter
Synopsis
========

Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
``request``
CEC_G_MODE, CEC_S_MODE
``argp``
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
By default any filehandle can use :ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT`, but in order to prevent
applications from stepping on each others toes it must be possible to
obtain exclusive access to the CEC adapter. This ioctl sets the
filehandle to initiator and/or follower mode which can be exclusive
depending on the chosen mode. The initiator is the filehandle that is
used to initiate messages, i.e. it commands other CEC devices. The
follower is the filehandle that receives messages sent to the CEC
adapter and processes them. The same filehandle can be both initiator
and follower, or this role can be taken by two different filehandles.
When a CEC message is received, then the CEC framework will decide how
it will be processed. If the message is a reply to an earlier
transmitted message, then the reply is sent back to the filehandle that
is waiting for it. In addition the CEC framework will process it.
If the message is not a reply, then the CEC framework will process it
first. If there is no follower, then the message is just discarded and a
feature abort is sent back to the initiator if the framework couldn't
process it. If there is a follower, then the message is passed on to the
follower who will use :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` to dequeue
the new message. The framework expects the follower to make the right
decisions.
The CEC framework will process core messages unless requested otherwise
by the follower. The follower can enable the passthrough mode. In that
case, the CEC framework will pass on most core messages without
processing them and the follower will have to implement those messages.
There are some messages that the core will always process, regardless of
the passthrough mode. See :ref:`cec-core-processing` for details.
If there is no initiator, then any CEC filehandle can use
:ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. If there is an exclusive
initiator then only that initiator can call
:ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT`. The follower can of course
always call :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`.

- This is not an initiator, i.e. it cannot transmit CEC messages or
make any other changes to the CEC adapter.
- .. _`CEC-MODE-INITIATOR`:
- ``CEC_MODE_INITIATOR``
- 0x1
- This is an initiator (the default when the device is opened) and
it can transmit CEC messages and make changes to the CEC adapter,
unless there is an exclusive initiator.
- .. _`CEC-MODE-EXCL-INITIATOR`:
- ``CEC_MODE_EXCL_INITIATOR``
- 0x2
- This is an exclusive initiator and this file descriptor is the
only one that can transmit CEC messages and make changes to the
CEC adapter. If someone else is already the exclusive initiator
then an attempt to become one will return the ``EBUSY`` error code
error.

- 0x10
- This is a follower and it will receive CEC messages unless there
is an exclusive follower. You cannot become a follower if
:ref:`CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT <CEC-CAP-TRANSMIT>` is not set or if :ref:`CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR <CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR>`
was specified, the ``EINVAL`` error code is returned in that case.
- .. _`CEC-MODE-EXCL-FOLLOWER`:
- ``CEC_MODE_EXCL_FOLLOWER``
- 0x20
- This is an exclusive follower and only this file descriptor will
receive CEC messages for processing. If someone else is already
the exclusive follower then an attempt to become one will return
the ``EBUSY`` error code. You cannot become a follower if
:ref:`CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT <CEC-CAP-TRANSMIT>` is not set or if :ref:`CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR <CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR>`

- .. _`CEC-MODE-EXCL-FOLLOWER-PASSTHRU`:
- ``CEC_MODE_EXCL_FOLLOWER_PASSTHRU``
- 0x30
- This is an exclusive follower and only this file descriptor will
receive CEC messages for processing. In addition it will put the
CEC device into passthrough mode, allowing the exclusive follower
to handle most core messages instead of relying on the CEC
framework for that. If someone else is already the exclusive
follower then an attempt to become one will return the ``EBUSY`` error
code. You cannot become a follower if :ref:`CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT <CEC-CAP-TRANSMIT>`
is not set or if :ref:`CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR <CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR>` was specified,
the ``EINVAL`` error code is returned in that case.
- .. _`CEC-MODE-MONITOR`:
- ``CEC_MODE_MONITOR``
- 0xe0
- Put the file descriptor into monitor mode. Can only be used in
combination with :ref:`CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR <CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR>`, otherwise EINVAL error
code will be returned. In monitor mode all messages this CEC
device transmits and all messages it receives (both broadcast
messages and directed messages for one its logical addresses) will
be reported. This is very useful for debugging. This is only
allowed if the process has the ``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` capability. If
that is not set, then the ``EPERM`` error code is returned.
- .. _`CEC-MODE-MONITOR-ALL`:
- ``CEC_MODE_MONITOR_ALL``
- 0xf0
- Put the file descriptor into 'monitor all' mode. Can only be used
in combination with :ref:`CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR <CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR>`, otherwise
the ``EINVAL`` error code will be returned. In 'monitor all' mode all messages
this CEC device transmits and all messages it receives, including
directed messages for other CEC devices will be reported. This is
very useful for debugging, but not all devices support this. This
mode requires that the :ref:`CEC_CAP_MONITOR_ALL <CEC-CAP-MONITOR-ALL>` capability is set,
otherwise the ``EINVAL`` error code is returned. This is only allowed if
the process has the ``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` capability. If that is not
set, then the ``EPERM`` error code is returned.

CEC_RECEIVE, CEC_TRANSMIT - Receive or transmit a CEC message
Synopsis

File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
``request``
CEC_RECEIVE, CEC_TRANSMIT
``argp``
Description
===========
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
To receive a CEC message the application has to fill in the
``timeout`` field of :c:type:`struct cec_msg` and pass it to :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode and there are no received
messages pending, then it will return -1 and set errno to the ``EAGAIN``
error code. If the file descriptor is in blocking mode and ``timeout``
is non-zero and no message arrived within ``timeout`` milliseconds, then
it will return -1 and set errno to the ``ETIMEDOUT`` error code.
A received message can be:
1. a message received from another CEC device (the ``sequence`` field will
be 0).
2. the result of an earlier non-blocking transmit (the ``sequence`` field will
be non-zero).
To send a CEC message the application has to fill in the
:c:type:`struct cec_msg` and pass it to
:ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. The :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` is only available if
``CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT`` is set. If there is no more room in the transmit
queue, then it will return -1 and set errno to the ``EBUSY`` error code.
The transmit queue has enough room for 18 messages (about 1 second worth
of 2-byte messages). Note that the CEC kernel framework will also reply
to core messages (see :ref:cec-core-processing), so it is not a good
idea to fully fill up the transmit queue.
If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode then the transmit will
return 0 and the result of the transmit will be available via
:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` once the transmit has finished
(including waiting for a reply, if requested).
The ``sequence`` field is filled in for every transmit and this can be
checked against the received messages to find the corresponding transmit
result.

filled in by the driver with the length of the reply message if ``reply`` was set.
- .. row 4
- __u32
- ``timeout``
- The timeout in milliseconds. This is the time the device will wait
for a message to be received before timing out. If it is set to 0,
then it will wait indefinitely when it is called by :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
If it is 0 and it is called by :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`,
then it will be replaced by 1000 if the ``reply`` is non-zero or
ignored if ``reply`` is 0.
- .. row 5
- __u32
- ``sequence``
- A non-zero sequence number is automatically assigned by the CEC framework
for all transmitted messages. It is used by the CEC framework when it queues
the transmit result (when transmit was called in non-blocking mode). This
allows the application to associate the received message with the original
transmit.

transmitting the message. Ignored by :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
The case where ``reply`` is 0 (this is the opcode for the Feature Abort
message) and ``timeout`` is non-zero is specifically allowed to make it
possible to send a message and wait up to ``timeout`` milliseconds for a
Feature Abort reply. In this case ``rx_status`` will either be set
to :ref:`CEC_RX_STATUS_TIMEOUT <CEC-RX-STATUS-TIMEOUT>` or
:ref:`CEC_RX_STATUS_FEATURE_ABORT <CEC-RX-STATUS-FEATURE-ABORT>`.
- .. row 9
- __u8
- ``rx_status``
- The status bits of the received message. See
:ref:`cec-rx-status` for the possible status values. It is 0 if
this message was transmitted, not received, unless this is the

- (blocking mode is the default)
Description
-----------
This system call opens a named audio device (e.g.
/dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0) for subsequent use. When an open() call has
succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The significance of
blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the documentation for
functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the semantics
of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later be
put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in
the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Audio Device
in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will
fail, and an error code will be returned. If the Audio Device is opened
in O_RDONLY mode, the only ioctl call that can be used is
AUDIO_GET_STATUS. All other call will return with an error code.
