Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

This particular documentation file isn't particularly current or + complete; don't rely on it except for a quick overview. + + +1.1. Basic concept or 'What is an URB?' + +The basic idea of the new driver is message passing, the message itself is +called USB Request Block, or URB for short. + +- An URB consists of all relevant information to execute any USB transaction + and deliver the data and status back. + +- Execution of an URB is inherently an asynchronous operation, i.e. the + usb_submit_urb(urb) call returns immediately after it has successfully queued + the requested action. + +- Transfers for one URB can be canceled with usb_unlink_urb(urb) at any time. + +- Each URB has a completion handler, which is called after the action + has been successfully completed or canceled. The URB also contains a + context-pointer for passing information to the completion handler. + +- Each endpoint for a device logically supports a queue of requests. + You can fill that queue, so that the USB hardware can still transfer + data to an endpoint while your driver handles completion of another. + This maximizes use of USB bandwidth, and supports seamless streaming + of data to (or from) devices when using periodic transfer modes. + + +1.2. The URB structure + +Some of the fields in an URB are: + +struct urb +{ +// (IN) device and pipe specify the endpoint queue + struct usb_device *dev; // pointer to associated USB device + unsigned int pipe; // endpoint information + + unsigned int transfer_flags; // ISO_ASAP, SHORT_NOT_OK, etc. + +// (IN) all urbs need completion routines + void *context; // context for completion routine + void (*complete)(struct urb *); // pointer to completion routine + +// (OUT) status after each completion + int status; // returned status + +// (IN) buffer used for data transfers + void *transfer_buffer; // associated data buffer + int transfer_buffer_length; // data buffer length + int number_of_packets; // size of iso_frame_desc + +// (OUT) sometimes only part of CTRL/BULK/INTR transfer_buffer is used + int actual_length; // actual data buffer length + +// (IN) setup stage for CTRL (pass a struct usb_ctrlrequest) + unsigned char* setup_packet; // setup packet (control only) + +// Only for PERIODIC transfers (ISO, INTERRUPT) + // (IN/OUT) start_frame is set unless ISO_ASAP isn't set + int start_frame; // start frame + int interval; // polling interval + + // ISO only: packets are only "best effort"; each can have errors + int error_count; // number of errors + struct usb_iso_packet_descriptor iso_frame_desc[0]; +}; + +Your driver must create the "pipe" value using values from the appropriate +endpoint descriptor in an interface that it's claimed. + + +1.3. How to get an URB? + +URBs are allocated with the following call + + struct urb *usb_alloc_urb(int isoframes, int mem_flags) + +Return value is a pointer to the allocated URB, 0 if allocation failed. +The parameter isoframes specifies the number of isochronous transfer frames +you want to schedule. For CTRL/BULK/INT, use 0. The mem_flags parameter +holds standard memory allocation flags, letting you control (among other +things) whether the underlying code may block or not. + +To free an URB, use + + void usb_free_urb(struct urb *urb) + +You may not free an urb that you've submitted, but which hasn't yet been +returned to you in a completion callback. + + +1.4. What has to be filled in? + +Depending on the type of transaction, there are some inline functions +defined in <linux/usb.h> to simplify the initialization, such as +fill_control_urb() and fill_bulk_urb(). In general, they need the usb +device pointer, the pipe (usual format from usb.h), the transfer buffer, +the desired transfer length, the completion handler, and its context. +Take a look at the some existing drivers to see how they're used. + +Flags: +For ISO there are two startup behaviors: Specified start_frame or ASAP. +For ASAP set URB_ISO_ASAP in transfer_flags. + +If short packets should NOT be tolerated, set URB_SHORT_NOT_OK in +transfer_flags. + + +1.5. How to submit an URB? + +Just call + + int usb_submit_urb(struct urb *urb, int mem_flags) + +The mem_flags parameter, such as SLAB_ATOMIC, controls memory allocation, +such as whether the lower levels may block when memory is tight. + +It immediately returns, either with status 0 (request queued) or some +error code, usually caused by the following: + +- Out of memory (-ENOMEM) +- Unplugged device (-ENODEV) +- Stalled endpoint (-EPIPE) +- Too many queued ISO transfers (-EAGAIN) +- Too many requested ISO frames (-EFBIG) +- Invalid INT interval (-EINVAL) +- More than one packet for INT (-EINVAL) + +After submission, urb->status is -EINPROGRESS; however, you should never +look at that value except in your completion callback. + +For isochronous endpoints, your completion handlers should (re)submit +URBs to the same endpoint with the ISO_ASAP flag, using multi-buffering, +to get seamless ISO streaming. + + +1.6. How to cancel an already running URB? + +For an URB which you've submitted, but which hasn't been returned to +your driver by the host controller, call + + int usb_unlink_urb(struct urb *urb) + +It removes the urb from the internal list and frees all allocated +HW descriptors. The status is changed to reflect unlinking. After +usb_unlink_urb() returns with that status code, you can free the URB +with usb_free_urb(). + +There is also an asynchronous unlink mode. To use this, set the +the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag in urb->transfer flags before calling +usb_unlink_urb(). When using async unlinking, the URB will not +normally be unlinked when usb_unlink_urb() returns. Instead, wait +for the completion handler to be called. + + +1.7. What about the completion handler? + +The handler is of the following type: + + typedef void (*usb_complete_t)(struct urb *); + +i.e. it gets just the URB that caused the completion call. +In the completion handler, you should have a look at urb->status to +detect any USB errors. Since the context parameter is included in the URB, +you can pass information to the completion handler. + +Note that even when an error (or unlink) is reported, data may have been +transferred. That's because USB transfers are packetized; it might take +sixteen packets to transfer your 1KByte buffer, and ten of them might +have transferred succesfully before the completion is called. + + +NOTE: ***** WARNING ***** +Don't use urb->dev field in your completion handler; it's cleared +as part of giving urbs back to drivers. (Addressing an issue with +ownership of periodic URBs, which was otherwise ambiguous.) Instead, +use urb->context to hold all the data your driver needs. + +NOTE: ***** WARNING ***** +Also, NEVER SLEEP IN A COMPLETION HANDLER. These are normally called +during hardware interrupt processing. If you can, defer substantial +work to a tasklet (bottom half) to keep system latencies low. You'll +probably need to use spinlocks to protect data structures you manipulate +in completion handlers. + + +1.8. How to do isochronous (ISO) transfers? + +For ISO transfers you have to fill a usb_iso_packet_descriptor structure, +allocated at the end of the URB by usb_alloc_urb(n,mem_flags), for each +packet you want to schedule. You also have to set urb->interval to say +how often to make transfers; it's often one per frame (which is once +every microframe for highspeed devices). The actual interval used will +be a power of two that's no bigger than what you specify. + +The usb_submit_urb() call modifies urb->interval to the implemented interval +value that is less than or equal to the requested interval value. If +ISO_ASAP scheduling is used, urb->start_frame is also updated. + +For each entry you have to specify the data offset for this frame (base is +transfer_buffer), and the length you want to write/expect to read. +After completion, actual_length contains the actual transferred length and +status contains the resulting status for the ISO transfer for this frame. +It is allowed to specify a varying length from frame to frame (e.g. for +audio synchronisation/adaptive transfer rates). You can also use the length +0 to omit one or more frames (striping). + +For scheduling you can choose your own start frame or ISO_ASAP. As explained +earlier, if you always keep at least one URB queued and your completion +keeps (re)submitting a later URB, you'll get smooth ISO streaming (if usb +bandwidth utilization allows). + +If you specify your own start frame, make sure it's several frames in advance +of the current frame. You might want this model if you're synchronizing +ISO data with some other event stream. + + +1.9. How to start interrupt (INT) transfers? + +Interrupt transfers, like isochronous transfers, are periodic, and happen +in intervals that are powers of two (1, 2, 4 etc) units. Units are frames +for full and low speed devices, and microframes for high speed ones. + +Currently, after you submit one interrupt URB, that urb is owned by the +host controller driver until you cancel it with usb_unlink_urb(). You +may unlink interrupt urbs in their completion handlers, if you need to. + +After a transfer completion is called, the URB is automagically resubmitted. +THIS BEHAVIOR IS EXPECTED TO BE REMOVED!! + +Interrupt transfers may only send (or receive) the "maxpacket" value for +the given interrupt endpoint; if you need more data, you will need to +copy that data out of (or into) another buffer. Similarly, you can't +queue interrupt transfers. +THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE REMOVED!! + +Note that this automagic resubmission model does make it awkward to use +interrupt OUT transfers. The portable solution involves unlinking those +OUT urbs after the data is transferred, and perhaps submitting a final +URB for a short packet. + +The usb_submit_urb() call modifies urb->interval to the implemented interval +value that is less than or equal to the requested interval value. diff --git a/Documentation/usb/acm.txt b/Documentation/usb/acm.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..8ef45ea8f691 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/usb/acm.txt @@ -0,0 +1,138 @@ + Linux ACM driver v0.16 + (c) 1999 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> + Sponsored by SuSE +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +0.

But you may find bugs. + +High Speed Isochronous (ISO) transfer support is also functional, but +at this writing no Linux drivers have been using that support. + +Full Speed Isochronous transfer support, through transaction translators, +is not yet available. Note that split transaction support for ISO +transfers can't share much code with the code for high speed ISO transfers, +since EHCI represents these with a different data structure. So for now, +most USB audio and video devices can't be connected to high speed buses. + +Driver Behavior + +Transfers of all types can be queued. This means that control transfers +from a driver on one interface (or through usbfs) won't interfere with +ones from another driver, and that interrupt transfers can use periods +of one frame without risking data loss due to interrupt processing costs. + +The EHCI root hub code hands off USB 1.1 devices to its companion +controller. This driver doesn't need to know anything about those +drivers; a OHCI or UHCI driver that works already doesn't need to change +just because the EHCI driver is also present. + +There are some issues with power management; suspend/resume doesn't +behave quite right at the moment. + +Also, some shortcuts have been taken with the scheduling periodic +transactions (interrupt and isochronous transfers). These place some +limits on the number of periodic transactions that can be scheduled, +and prevent use of polling intervals of less than one frame. + + +USE BY + +Assuming you have an EHCI controller (on a PCI card or motherboard) +and have compiled this driver as a module, load this like: + + # modprobe ehci-hcd + +and remove it by: + + # rmmod ehci-hcd + +You should also have a driver for a "companion controller", such as +"ohci-hcd" or "uhci-hcd". In case of any trouble with the EHCI driver, +remove its module and then the driver for that companion controller will +take over (at lower speed) all the devices that were previously handled +by the EHCI driver. + +Module parameters (pass to "modprobe") include: + + log2_irq_thresh (default 0): + Log2 of default interrupt delay, in microframes. The default + value is 0, indicating 1 microframe (125 usec). Maximum value + is 6, indicating 2^6 = 64 microframes. This controls how often + the EHCI controller can issue interrupts. + +If you're using this driver on a 2.5 kernel, and you've enabled USB +debugging support, you'll see three files in the "sysfs" directory for +any EHCI controller: + + "async" dumps the asynchronous schedule, used for control + and bulk transfers. Shows each active qh and the qtds + pending, usually one qtd per urb. (Look at it with + usb-storage doing disk I/O; watch the request queues!) + "periodic" dumps the periodic schedule, used for interrupt + and isochronous transfers. Doesn't show qtds. + "registers" show controller register state, and + +The contents of those files can help identify driver problems. + + +Device drivers shouldn't care whether they're running over EHCI or not, +but they may want to check for "usb_device->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH". +High speed devices can do things that full speed (or low speed) ones +can't, such as "high bandwidth" periodic (interrupt or ISO) transfers. +Also, some values in device descriptors (such as polling intervals for +periodic transfers) use different encodings when operating at high speed. + +However, do make a point of testing device drivers through USB 2.0 hubs. +Those hubs report some failures, such as disconnections, differently when +transaction translators are in use; some drivers have been seen to behave +badly when they see different faults than OHCI or UHCI report. + + +PERFORMANCE + +USB 2.0 throughput is gated by two main factors: how fast the host +controller can process requests, and how fast devices can respond to +them. The 480 Mbit/sec "raw transfer rate" is obeyed by all devices, +but aggregate throughput is also affected by issues like delays between +individual high speed packets, driver intelligence, and of course the +overall system load. Latency is also a performance concern. + +Bulk transfers are most often used where throughput is an issue. It's +good to keep in mind that bulk transfers are always in 512 byte packets, +and at most 13 of those fit into one USB 2.0 microframe. Eight USB 2.0 +microframes fit in a USB 1.1 frame; a microframe is 1 msec/8 = 125 usec. + +So more than 50 MByte/sec is available for bulk transfers, when both +hardware and device driver software allow it. Periodic transfer modes +(isochronous and interrupt) allow the larger packet sizes which let you +approach the quoted 480 MBit/sec transfer rate. + +Hardware Performance + +At this writing, individual USB 2.0 devices tend to max out at around +20 MByte/sec transfer rates. This is of course subject to change; +and some devices now go faster, while others go slower. + +The first NEC implementation of EHCI seems to have a hardware bottleneck +at around 28 MByte/sec aggregate transfer rate. While this is clearly +enough for a single device at 20 MByte/sec, putting three such devices +onto one bus does not get you 60 MByte/sec. The issue appears to be +that the controller hardware won't do concurrent USB and PCI access, +so that it's only trying six (or maybe seven) USB transactions each +microframe rather than thirteen. (Seems like a reasonable trade off +for a product that beat all the others to market by over a year!) + +It's expected that newer implementations will better this, throwing +more silicon real estate at the problem so that new motherboard chip +sets will get closer to that 60 MByte/sec target. That includes an +updated implementation from NEC, as well as other vendors' silicon. + +There's a minimum latency of one microframe (125 usec) for the host +to receive interrupts from the EHCI controller indicating completion +of requests. That latency is tunable; there's a module option. By +default ehci-hcd driver uses the minimum latency, which means that if +you issue a control or bulk request you can often expect to learn that +it completed in less than 250 usec (depending on transfer size). + +Software Performance + +To get even 20 MByte/sec transfer rates, Linux-USB device drivers will +need to keep the EHCI queue full. That means issuing large requests, +or using bulk queuing if a series of small requests needs to be issued. +When drivers don't do that, their performance results will show it. + +In typical situations, a usb_bulk_msg() loop writing out 4 KB chunks is +going to waste more than half the USB 2.0 bandwidth. Delays between the +I/O completion and the driver issuing the next request will take longer +than the I/O. If that same loop used 16 KB chunks, it'd be better; a +sequence of 128 KB chunks would waste a lot less. + +But rather than depending on such large I/O buffers to make synchronous +I/O be efficient, it's better to just queue up several (bulk) requests +to the HC, and wait for them all to complete (or be canceled on error). +Such URB queuing should work with all the USB 1.1 HC drivers too. + +In the Linux 2.5 kernels, new usb_sg_*() api calls have been defined; they +queue all the buffers from a scatterlist. They also use scatterlist DMA +mapping (which might apply an IOMMU) and IRQ reduction, all of which will +help make high speed transfers run as fast as they can. + + +TBD: Interrupt and ISO transfer performance issues.

It runs on a Linux system that has USB device side +hardware; for example, a PDA, an embedded Linux system, or a PC +with a USB development card. + +The gadget serial driver talks over USB to either a CDC ACM driver +or a generic USB serial driver running on a host PC. + + Host + -------------------------------------- + | Host-Side CDC ACM USB Host | + | Operating | or | Controller | USB + | System | Generic USB | Driver |-------- + | (Linux or | Serial | and | | + | Windows) Driver USB Stack | | + -------------------------------------- | + | + | + | + Gadget | + -------------------------------------- | + | Gadget USB Periph. | | + | Device-Side | Gadget | Controller | | + | Linux | Serial | Driver |-------- + | Operating | Driver | and | + | System USB Stack | + -------------------------------------- + +On the device-side Linux system, the gadget serial driver looks +like a serial device. + +On the host-side system, the gadget serial device looks like a +CDC ACM compliant class device or a simple vendor specific device +with bulk in and bulk out endpoints, and it is treated similarly +to other serial devices. + +The host side driver can potentially be any ACM compliant driver +or any driver that can talk to a device with a simple bulk in/out +interface. Gadget serial has been tested with the Linux ACM driver, +the Windows usbser.sys ACM driver, and the Linux USB generic serial +driver. + +With the gadget serial driver and the host side ACM or generic +serial driver running, you should be able to communicate between +the host and the gadget side systems as if they were connected by a +serial cable. + +The gadget serial driver only provides simple unreliable data +communication. It does not yet handle flow control or many other +features of normal serial devices. + + +Installing the Gadget Serial Driver +----------------------------------- +To use the gadget serial driver you must configure the Linux gadget +side kernel for "Support for USB Gadgets", for a "USB Peripheral +Controller" (for example, net2280), and for the "Serial Gadget" +driver. All this are listed under "USB Gadget Support" when +configuring the kernel. Then rebuild and install the kernel or +modules. + +The gadget serial driver uses major number 127, for now. So you +will need to create a device node for it, like this: + + mknod /dev/ttygserial c 127 0 + +You only need to do this once. + +Then you must load the gadget serial driver. To load it as an +ACM device, do this: + + modprobe g_serial use_acm=1 + +To load it as a vendor specific bulk in/out device, do this: + + modprobe g_serial + +This will also automatically load the underlying gadget peripheral +controller driver. This must be done each time you reboot the gadget +side Linux system. You can add this to the start up scripts, if +desired. + +If gadget serial is loaded as an ACM device you will want to use +either the Windows or Linux ACM driver on the host side. If gadget +serial is loaded as a bulk in/out device, you will want to use the +Linux generic serial driver on the host side. Follow the appropriate +instructions below to install the host side driver. + + +Installing the Windows Host ACM Driver +-------------------------------------- +To use the Windows ACM driver you must have the files "gserial.inf" +and "usbser.sys" together in a folder on the Windows machine. + +The "gserial.inf" file is given here. + +-------------------- CUT HERE -------------------- +[Version] +Signature="$Windows NT$" +Class=Ports +ClassGuid={4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} +Provider=%LINUX% +DriverVer=08/17/2004,0.0.2.0 +; Copyright (C) 2004 Al Borchers (alborchers@steinerpoint.com) + +[Manufacturer] +%LINUX%=GSerialDeviceList + +[GSerialDeviceList] +%GSERIAL%=GSerialInstall, USB\VID_0525&PID_A4A7 + +[DestinationDirs] +DefaultDestDir=10,System32\Drivers + +[GSerialInstall] +CopyFiles=GSerialCopyFiles +AddReg=GSerialAddReg + +[GSerialCopyFiles] +usbser.sys + +[GSerialAddReg] +HKR,,DevLoader,,*ntkern +HKR,,NTMPDriver,,usbser.sys +HKR,,EnumPropPages32,,"MsPorts.dll,SerialPortPropPageProvider" + +[GSerialInstall.Services] +AddService = usbser,0x0002,GSerialService + +[GSerialService] +DisplayName = %GSERIAL_DISPLAY_NAME% +ServiceType = 1 ; SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER +StartType = 3 ; SERVICE_DEMAND_START +ErrorControl = 1 ; SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL +ServiceBinary = %10%\System32\Drivers\usbser.sys +LoadOrderGroup = Base + +[Strings] +LINUX = "Linux" +GSERIAL = "Gadget Serial" +GSERIAL_DISPLAY_NAME = "USB Gadget Serial Driver" +-------------------- CUT HERE -------------------- + +The "usbser.sys" file comes with various versions of Windows. +For example, it can be found on Windows XP typically in + + C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab + +Or it can be found on the Windows 98SE CD in the "win98" folder +in the "DRIVER11.CAB" through "DRIVER20.CAB" cab files.

If you need to write one, read on. + + +THE HIDDEV API +This description should be read in conjunction with the HID +specification, freely available from http://www.usb.org, and +conveniently linked of http://www.linux-usb.org. + +The hiddev API uses a read() interface, and a set of ioctl() calls. + +HID devices exchange data with the host computer using data +bundles called "reports". Each report is divided into "fields", +each of which can have one or more "usages". In the hid-core, +each one of these usages has a single signed 32 bit value. + +read(): +This is the event interface. When the HID device's state changes, +it performs an interrupt transfer containing a report which contains +the changed value. The hid-core.c module parses the report, and +returns to hiddev.c the individual usages that have changed within +the report. In its basic mode, the hiddev will make these individual +usage changes available to the reader using a struct hiddev_event: + + struct hiddev_event { + unsigned hid; + signed int value; + }; + +containing the HID usage identifier for the status that changed, and +the value that it was changed to. Note that the structure is defined +within <linux/hiddev.h>, along with some other useful #defines and +structures. The HID usage identifier is a composite of the HID usage +page shifted to the 16 high order bits ORed with the usage code. The +behavior of the read() function can be modified using the HIDIOCSFLAG +ioctl() described below. + + +ioctl(): +This is the control interface. There are a number of controls: + +HIDIOCGVERSION - int (read) +Gets the version code out of the hiddev driver. + +HIDIOCAPPLICATION - (none) +This ioctl call returns the HID application usage associated with the +hid device. The third argument to ioctl() specifies which application +index to get. This is useful when the device has more than one +application collection. If the index is invalid (greater or equal to +the number of application collections this device has) the ioctl +returns -1. You can find out beforehand how many application +collections the device has from the num_applications field from the +hiddev_devinfo structure. + +HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINFO - struct hiddev_collection_info (read/write) +This returns a superset of the information above, providing not only +application collections, but all the collections the device has. It +also returns the level the collection lives in the hierarchy. +The user passes in a hiddev_collection_info struct with the index +field set to the index that should be returned. The ioctl fills in +the other fields. If the index is larger than the last collection +index, the ioctl returns -1 and sets errno to -EINVAL. + +HIDIOCGDEVINFO - struct hiddev_devinfo (read) +Gets a hiddev_devinfo structure which describes the device. + +HIDIOCGSTRING - struct struct hiddev_string_descriptor (read/write) +Gets a string descriptor from the device. The caller must fill in the +"index" field to indicate which descriptor should be returned. + +HIDIOCINITREPORT - (none) +Instructs the kernel to retrieve all input and feature report values +from the device. At this point, all the usage structures will contain +current values for the device, and will maintain it as the device +changes. Note that the use of this ioctl is unnecessary in general, +since later kernels automatically initialize the reports from the +device at attach time. + +HIDIOCGNAME - string (variable length) +Gets the device name + +HIDIOCGREPORT - struct hiddev_report_info (write) +Instructs the kernel to get a feature or input report from the device, +in order to selectively update the usage structures (in contrast to +INITREPORT). + +HIDIOCSREPORT - struct hiddev_report_info (write) +Instructs the kernel to send a report to the device. This report can +be filled in by the user through HIDIOCSUSAGE calls (below) to fill in +individual usage values in the report before sending the report in full +to the device. + +HIDIOCGREPORTINFO - struct hiddev_report_info (read/write) +Fills in a hiddev_report_info structure for the user. The report is +looked up by type (input, output or feature) and id, so these fields +must be filled in by the user. The ID can be absolute -- the actual +report id as reported by the device -- or relative -- +HID_REPORT_ID_FIRST for the first report, and (HID_REPORT_ID_NEXT | +report_id) for the next report after report_id. Without a-priori +information about report ids, the right way to use this ioctl is to +use the relative IDs above to enumerate the valid IDs. The ioctl +returns non-zero when there is no more next ID. The real report ID is +filled into the returned hiddev_report_info structure. + +HIDIOCGFIELDINFO - struct hiddev_field_info (read/write) +Returns the field information associated with a report in a +hiddev_field_info structure. The user must fill in report_id and +report_type in this structure, as above. The field_index should also +be filled in, which should be a number from 0 and maxfield-1, as +returned from a previous HIDIOCGREPORTINFO call. + +HIDIOCGUCODE - struct hiddev_usage_ref (read/write) +Returns the usage_code in a hiddev_usage_ref structure, given that +given its report type, report id, field index, and index within the +field have already been filled into the structure. + +HIDIOCGUSAGE - struct hiddev_usage_ref (read/write) +Returns the value of a usage in a hiddev_usage_ref structure. The +usage to be retrieved can be specified as above, or the user can +choose to fill in the report_type field and specify the report_id as +HID_REPORT_ID_UNKNOWN. In this case, the hiddev_usage_ref will be +filled in with the report and field information associated with this +usage if it is found. + +HIDIOCSUSAGE - struct hiddev_usage_ref (write) +Sets the value of a usage in an output report. The user fills in +the hiddev_usage_ref structure as above, but additionally fills in +the value field. + +HIDIOGCOLLECTIONINDEX - struct hiddev_usage_ref (write) +Returns the collection index associated with this usage. This +indicates where in the collection hierarchy this usage sits. + +HIDIOCGFLAG - int (read) +HIDIOCSFLAG - int (write) +These operations respectively inspect and replace the mode flags +that influence the read() call above. The flags are as follows: + + HIDDEV_FLAG_UREF - read() calls will now return + struct hiddev_usage_ref instead of struct hiddev_event. + This is a larger structure, but in situations where the + device has more than one usage in its reports with the + same usage code, this mode serves to resolve such + ambiguity. + + HIDDEV_FLAG_REPORT - This flag can only be used in conjunction + with HIDDEV_FLAG_UREF. With this flag set, when the device + sends a report, a struct hiddev_usage_ref will be returned + to read() filled in with the report_type and report_id, but + with field_index set to FIELD_INDEX_NONE.

See http://www.xirlink.com/ +http://www.ibmpccamera.com or http://www.c-itnow.com/ for +details and pictures. + +This very chipset ("X Chip", as marked at the factory) +is used in several other cameras, and they are supported +as well: + +- IBM NetCamera +- Veo Stingray + +The Linux driver was developed with camera with following +model number (or FCC ID): KSX-XVP510. This camera has three +interfaces, each with one endpoint (control, iso, iso). This +type of cameras is referred to as "model 1". These cameras are +no longer manufactured. + +Xirlink now manufactures new cameras which are somewhat different. +In particular, following models [FCC ID] belong to that category: + +XVP300 [KSX-X9903] +XVP600 [KSX-X9902] +XVP610 [KSX-X9902] + +(see http://www.xirlink.com/ibmpccamera/ for updates, they refer +to these new cameras by Windows driver dated 12-27-99, v3005 BETA) +These cameras have two interfaces, one endpoint in each (iso, bulk). +Such type of cameras is referred to as "model 2". They are supported +(with exception of 352x288 native mode). + +Some IBM NetCameras (Model 4) are made to generate only compressed +video streams. This is great for performance, but unfortunately +nobody knows how to decompress the stream :-( Therefore, these +cameras are *unsupported* and if you try to use one of those, all +you get is random colored horizontal streaks, not the image! +If you have one of those cameras, you probably should return it +to the store and get something that is supported. + +Tell me more about all that "model" business +-------------------------------------------- + +I just invented model numbers to uniquely identify flavors of the +hardware/firmware that were sold. It was very confusing to use +brand names or some other internal numbering schemes. So I found +by experimentation that all Xirlink chipsets fall into four big +classes, and I called them "models". Each model is programmed in +its own way, and each model sends back the video in its own way. + +Quirks of Model 2 cameras: +------------------------- + +Model 2 does not have hardware contrast control. Corresponding V4L +control is implemented in software, which is not very nice to your +CPU, but at least it works. + +This driver provides 352x288 mode by switching the camera into +quasi-352x288 RGB mode (800 Kbits per frame) essentially limiting +this mode to 10 frames per second or less, in ideal conditions on +the bus (USB is shared, after all). The frame rate +has to be programmed very conservatively. Additional concern is that +frame rate depends on brightness setting; therefore the picture can +be good at one brightness and broken at another! I did not want to fix +the frame rate at slowest setting, but I had to move it pretty much down +the scale (so that framerate option barely matters). I also noticed that +camera after first powering up produces frames slightly faster than during +consecutive uses. All this means that if you use 352x288 (which is +default), be warned - you may encounter broken picture on first connect; +try to adjust brightness - brighter image is slower, so USB will be able +to send all data. However if you regularly use Model 2 cameras you may +prefer 176x144 which makes perfectly good I420, with no scaling and +lesser demands on USB (300 Kbits per second, or 26 frames per second). + +Another strange effect of 352x288 mode is the fine vertical grid visible +on some colored surfaces. I am sure it is caused by me not understanding +what the camera is trying to say. Blame trade secrets for that. + +The camera that I had also has a hardware quirk: if disconnected, +it needs few minutes to "relax" before it can be plugged in again +(poorly designed USB processor reset circuit?) + +[Veo Stingray with Product ID 0x800C is also Model 2, but I haven't +observed this particular flaw in it.] + +Model 2 camera can be programmed for very high sensitivity (even starlight +may be enough), this makes it convenient for tinkering with. The driver +code has enough comments to help a programmer to tweak the camera +as s/he feels necessary. + +WHAT YOU NEED: + +- A supported IBM PC (C-it) camera (model 1 or 2) + +- A Linux box with USB support (2.3/2.4; 2.2 w/backport may work) + +- A Video4Linux compatible frame grabber program such as xawtv. + +HOW TO COMPILE THE DRIVER: + +You need to compile the driver only if you are a developer +or if you want to make changes to the code. Most distributions +precompile all modules, so you can go directly to the next +section "HOW TO USE THE DRIVER". + +The ibmcam driver uses usbvideo helper library (module), +so if you are studying the ibmcam code you will be led there. + +The driver itself consists of only one file in usb/ directory: +ibmcam.c. This file is included into the Linux kernel build +process if you configure the kernel for CONFIG_USB_IBMCAM. +Run "make xconfig" and in USB section you will find the IBM +camera driver. Select it, save the configuration and recompile. + +HOW TO USE THE DRIVER: + +I recommend to compile driver as a module. This gives you an +easier access to its configuration. The camera has many more +settings than V4L can operate, so some settings are done using +module options. + +To begin with, on most modern Linux distributions the driver +will be automatically loaded whenever you plug the supported +camera in. Therefore, you don't need to do anything. However +if you want to experiment with some module parameters then +you can load and unload the driver manually, with camera +plugged in or unplugged. + +Typically module is installed with command 'modprobe', like this: + +# modprobe ibmcam framerate=1 + +Alternatively you can use 'insmod' in similar fashion: + +# insmod /lib/modules/2.x.y/usb/ibmcam.o framerate=1 + +Module can be inserted with camera connected or disconnected. + +The driver can have options, though some defaults are provided. + +Driver options: (* indicates that option is model-dependent) + +Name Type Range [default] Example +-------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------ +debug Integer 0-9 [0] debug=1 +flags Integer 0-0xFF [0] flags=0x0d +framerate Integer 0-6 [2] framerate=1 +hue_correction Integer 0-255 [128] hue_correction=115 +init_brightness Integer 0-255 [128] init_brightness=100 +init_contrast Integer 0-255 [192] init_contrast=200 +init_color Integer 0-255 [128] init_color=130 +init_hue Integer 0-255 [128] init_hue=115 +lighting Integer 0-2* [1] lighting=2 +sharpness Integer 0-6* [4] sharpness=3 +size Integer 0-2* [2] size=1 + +Options for Model 2 only: + +Name Type Range [default] Example +-------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------ +init_model2_rg Integer 0..255 [0x70] init_model2_rg=128 +init_model2_rg2 Integer 0..255 [0x2f] init_model2_rg2=50 +init_model2_sat Integer 0..255 [0x34] init_model2_sat=65 +init_model2_yb Integer 0..255 [0xa0] init_model2_yb=200 + +debug You don't need this option unless you are a developer. + If you are a developer then you will see in the code + what values do what. 0=off. + +flags This is a bit mask, and you can combine any number of + bits to produce what you want.

Default is + not set. + FLAGS_MONOCHROME 2 Activates monochrome (b/w) mode. + FLAGS_DISPLAY_HINTS 4 Shows colored pixels which have + magic meaning to developers. + FLAGS_OVERLAY_STATS 8 Shows tiny numbers on screen, + useful only for debugging. + FLAGS_FORCE_TESTPATTERN 16 Shows blue screen with numbers. + FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES 32 Shows each frame separately, as + it was received from the camera. + Default (not set) is to mix the + preceding frame in to compensate + for occasional loss of Isoc data + on high frame rates. + FLAGS_CLEAN_FRAMES 64 Forces "cleanup" of each frame + prior to use; relevant only if + FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES is set. + Default is not to clean frames, + this is a little faster but may + produce flicker if frame rate is + too high and Isoc data gets lost. + FLAGS_NO_DECODING 128 This flag turns the video stream + decoder off, and dumps the raw + Isoc data from the camera into + the reading process. Useful to + developers, but not to users. + +framerate This setting controls frame rate of the camera. This is + an approximate setting (in terms of "worst" ... "best") + because camera changes frame rate depending on amount + of light available. Setting 0 is slowest, 6 is fastest. + Beware - fast settings are very demanding and may not + work well with all video sizes. Be conservative. + +hue_correction This highly optional setting allows to adjust the + hue of the image in a way slightly different from + what usual "hue" control does. Both controls affect + YUV colorspace: regular "hue" control adjusts only + U component, and this "hue_correction" option similarly + adjusts only V component. However usually it is enough + to tweak only U or V to compensate for colored light or + color temperature; this option simply allows more + complicated correction when and if it is necessary. + +init_brightness These settings specify _initial_ values which will be +init_contrast used to set up the camera. If your V4L application has +init_color its own controls to adjust the picture then these +init_hue controls will be used too. These options allow you to + preconfigure the camera when it gets connected, before + any V4L application connects to it. Good for webcams. + +init_model2_rg These initial settings alter color balance of the +init_model2_rg2 camera on hardware level. All four settings may be used +init_model2_sat to tune the camera to specific lighting conditions. These +init_model2_yb settings only apply to Model 2 cameras. + +lighting This option selects one of three hardware-defined + photosensitivity settings of the camera. 0=bright light, + 1=Medium (default), 2=Low light. This setting affects + frame rate: the dimmer the lighting the lower the frame + rate (because longer exposition time is needed). The + Model 2 cameras allow values more than 2 for this option, + thus enabling extremely high sensitivity at cost of frame + rate, color saturation and imaging sensor noise. + +sharpness This option controls smoothing (noise reduction) + made by camera. Setting 0 is most smooth, setting 6 + is most sharp. Be aware that CMOS sensor used in the + camera is pretty noisy, so if you choose 6 you will + be greeted with "snowy" image. Default is 4. Model 2 + cameras do not support this feature. + +size This setting chooses one of several image sizes that are + supported by this driver. Cameras may support more, but + it's difficult to reverse-engineer all formats. + Following video sizes are supported: + + size=0 128x96 (Model 1 only) + size=1 160x120 + size=2 176x144 + size=3 320x240 (Model 2 only) + size=4 352x240 (Model 2 only) + size=5 352x288 + size=6 640x480 (Model 3 only) + + The 352x288 is the native size of the Model 1 sensor + array, so it's the best resolution the camera can + yield. The best resolution of Model 2 is 176x144, and + larger images are produced by stretching the bitmap. + Model 3 has sensor with 640x480 grid, and it works too, + but the frame rate will be exceptionally low (1-2 FPS); + it may be still OK for some applications, like security. + Choose the image size you need. The smaller image can + support faster frame rate. Default is 352x288. + +For more information and the Troubleshooting FAQ visit this URL: + + http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/ + +WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE: + +- The button on the camera is not used. I don't know how to get to it. + I know now how to read button on Model 2, but what to do with it? + +- Camera reports its status back to the driver; however I don't know + what returned data means. If camera fails at some initialization + stage then something should be done, and I don't do that because + I don't even know that some command failed. This is mostly Model 1 + concern because Model 2 uses different commands which do not return + status (and seem to complete successfully every time). + +- Some flavors of Model 4 NetCameras produce only compressed video + streams, and I don't know how to decode them. + +CREDITS: + +The code is based in no small part on the CPiA driver by Johannes Erdfelt, +Randy Dunlap, and others.

It provides the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, as well as +the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files. + + +**NOTE**: If /proc/bus/usb appears empty, and a host controller + driver has been linked, then you need to mount the + filesystem. Issue the command (as root): + + mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb + + An alternative and more permanent method would be to add + + none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 + + to /etc/fstab. This will mount usbfs at each reboot. + You can then issue `cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` to extract + USB device information, and user mode drivers can use usbfs + to interact with USB devices. + + There are a number of mount options supported by usbfs. + Consult the source code (linux/drivers/usb/core/inode.c) for + information about those options. + +**NOTE**: The filesystem has been renamed from "usbdevfs" to + "usbfs", to reduce confusion with "devfs". You may + still see references to the older "usbdevfs" name. + +For more information on mounting the usbfs file system, see the +"USB Device Filesystem" section of the USB Guide. The latest copy +of the USB Guide can be found at http://www.linux-usb.org/ + + +THE /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD FILES: +-------------------------------- +Each connected USB device has one file. The BBB indicates the bus +number. The DDD indicates the device address on that bus. Both +of these numbers are assigned sequentially, and can be reused, so +you can't rely on them for stable access to devices. For example, +it's relatively common for devices to re-enumerate while they are +still connected (perhaps someone jostled their power supply, hub, +or USB cable), so a device might be 002/027 when you first connect +it and 002/048 sometime later. + +These files can be read as binary data. The binary data consists +of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each +configuration of the device. That information is also shown in +text form by the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, described later. + +These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB +devices. You would open the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD file read/write, +read its descriptors to make sure it's the device you expect, and then +bind to an interface (or perhaps several) using an ioctl call. You +would issue more ioctls to the device to communicate to it using +control, bulk, or other kinds of USB transfers. The IOCTLs are +listed in the <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> file, and at this writing the +source code (linux/drivers/usb/devio.c) is the primary reference +for how to access devices through those files. + +Note that since by default these BBB/DDD files are writable only by +root, only root can write such user mode drivers. You can selectively +grant read/write permissions to other users by using "chmod". Also, +usbfs mount options such as "devmode=0666" may be helpful. + + + +THE /proc/bus/usb/devices FILE: +------------------------------- +In /proc/bus/usb/devices, each device's output has multiple +lines of ASCII output. +I made it ASCII instead of binary on purpose, so that someone +can obtain some useful data from it without the use of an +auxiliary program. However, with an auxiliary program, the numbers +in the first 4 columns of each "T:" line (topology info: +Lev, Prnt, Port, Cnt) can be used to build a USB topology diagram. + +Each line is tagged with a one-character ID for that line: + +T = Topology (etc.) +B = Bandwidth (applies only to USB host controllers, which are + virtualized as root hubs) +D = Device descriptor info. +P = Product ID info. (from Device descriptor, but they won't fit + together on one line) +S = String descriptors. +C = Configuration descriptor info.

A command like +"grep -i ^[tdp]: /proc/bus/usb/devices" can be used to list +only the lines that begin with the characters in square brackets, +where the valid characters are TDPCIE. With a slightly more able +script, it can display any selected lines (for example, only T, D, +and P lines) and change their output format. (The "procusb" +Perl script is the beginning of this idea. It will list only +selected lines [selected from TBDPSCIE] or "All" lines from +/proc/bus/usb/devices.) + +The Topology lines can be used to generate a graphic/pictorial +of the USB devices on a system's root hub.

It has been +designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. + +The latest version of the SN9C10x driver can be found at the following URL: +http://www.linux-projects.org/ + +Some of the features of the driver are: + +- full compliance with the Video4Linux2 API (see also "Notes for V4L2 + application developers" paragraph); +- available mmap or read/poll methods for video streaming through isochronous + data transfers; +- automatic detection of image sensor; +- support for any window resolutions and optional panning within the maximum + pixel area of image sensor; +- image downscaling with arbitrary scaling factors from 1, 2 and 4 in both + directions (see "Notes for V4L2 application developers" paragraph); +- two different video formats for uncompressed or compressed data in low or + high compression quality (see also "Notes for V4L2 application developers" + and "Video frame formats" paragraphs); +- full support for the capabilities of many of the possible image sensors that + can be connected to the SN9C10x bridges, including, for istance, red, green, + blue and global gain adjustments and exposure (see "Supported devices" + paragraph for details); +- use of default color settings for sunlight conditions; +- dynamic I/O interface for both SN9C10x and image sensor control and + monitoring (see "Optional device control through 'sysfs'" paragraph); +- dynamic driver control thanks to various module parameters (see "Module + parameters" paragraph); +- up to 64 cameras can be handled at the same time; they can be connected and + disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if + your system supports hotplugging; +- no known bugs. + + +5. Module dependencies +====================== +For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux and +USB. + +The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and +corresponding modules must be compiled: + + # Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m + + # USB support + # + CONFIG_USB=m + +In addition, depending on the hardware being used, the modules below are +necessary: + + # USB Host Controller Drivers + # + CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m + +And finally: + + # USB Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_USB_SN9C102=m + + +6. Module loading +================= +To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "sn9c102" module into memory +after every other module required: "videodev", "usbcore" and, depending on +the USB host controller you have, "ehci-hcd", "uhci-hcd" or "ohci-hcd". + +Loading can be done as shown below: + + [root@localhost home]# modprobe sn9c102 + +At this point the devices should be recognized. You can invoke "dmesg" to +analyze kernel messages and verify that the loading process has gone well: + + [user@localhost home]$ dmesg + + +7. Module parameters +==================== +Module parameters are listed below: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: video_nr +Type: int array (min = 0, max = 64) +Syntax: <-1|n[,...]> +Description: Specify V4L2 minor mode number: + -1 = use next available + n = use minor number n + You can specify up to 64 cameras this way. + For example: + video_nr=-1,2,-1 would assign minor number 2 to the second + recognized camera and use auto for the first one and for every + other camera. +Default: -1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: force_munmap; +Type: bool array (min = 0, max = 64) +Syntax: <0|1[,...]> +Description: Force the application to unmap previously mapped buffer memory + before calling any VIDIOC_S_CROP or VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl's. Not + all the applications support this feature. This parameter is + specific for each detected camera. + 0 = do not force memory unmapping" + 1 = force memory unmapping (save memory)" +Default: 0 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: debug +Type: int +Syntax: <n> +Description: Debugging information level, from 0 to 3: + 0 = none (use carefully) + 1 = critical errors + 2 = significant informations + 3 = more verbose messages + Level 3 is useful for testing only, when only one device + is used. It also shows some more informations about the + hardware being detected. This parameter can be changed at + runtime thanks to the /sys filesystem. +Default: 2 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +8. Optional device control through "sysfs" [1] +========================================== +It is possible to read and write both the SN9C10x and the image sensor +registers by using the "sysfs" filesystem interface. + +Every time a supported device is recognized, a write-only file named "green" is +created in the /sys/class/video4linux/videoX directory. You can set the green +channel's gain by writing the desired value to it. The value may range from 0 +to 15 for SN9C101 or SN9C102 bridges, from 0 to 127 for SN9C103 bridges. +Similarly, only for SN9C103 controllers, blue and red gain control files are +available in the same directory, for which accepted values may range from 0 to +127. + +There are other four entries in the directory above for each registered camera: +"reg", "val", "i2c_reg" and "i2c_val". The first two files control the +SN9C10x bridge, while the other two control the sensor chip. "reg" and +"i2c_reg" hold the values of the current register index where the following +reading/writing operations are addressed at through "val" and "i2c_val". Their +use is not intended for end-users. Note that "i2c_reg" and "i2c_val" will not +be created if the sensor does not actually support the standard I2C protocol or +its registers are not 8-bit long. Also, remember that you must be logged in as +root before writing to them. + +As an example, suppose we were to want to read the value contained in the +register number 1 of the sensor register table - which is usually the product +identifier - of the camera registered as "/dev/video0": + + [root@localhost #] cd /sys/class/video4linux/video0 + [root@localhost #] echo 1 > i2c_reg + [root@localhost #] cat i2c_val + +Note that "cat" will fail if sensor registers cannot be read. + +Now let's set the green gain's register of the SN9C101 or SN9C102 chips to 2: + + [root@localhost #] echo 0x11 > reg + [root@localhost #] echo 2 > val + +Note that the SN9C10x always returns 0 when some of its registers are read. +To avoid race conditions, all the I/O accesses to the above files are +serialized. + +The sysfs interface also provides the "frame_header" entry, which exports the +frame header of the most recent requested and captured video frame. The header +is 12-bytes long and is appended to every video frame by the SN9C10x +controllers. As an example, this additional information can be used by the user +application for implementing auto-exposure features via software. + +The following table describes the frame header: + +Byte # Value Description +------ ----- ----------- +0x00 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x01 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x02 0x00 Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x03 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x04 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x05 0x96 Frame synchronisation pattern. +0x06 0x00 or 0x01 Unknown meaning. The exact value depends on the chip. +0x07 0xXX Variable value, whose bits are ff00uzzc, where ff is a + frame counter, u is unknown, zz is a size indicator + (00 = VGA, 01 = SIF, 10 = QSIF) and c stands for + "compression enabled" (1 = yes, 0 = no). +0x08 0xXX Brightness sum inside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte). +0x09 0xXX Brightness sum inside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte). + For a pure white image, this number will be equal to 500 + times the area of the specified AE area. For images + that are not pure white, the value scales down according + to relative whiteness. +0x0A 0xXX Brightness sum outside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte). +0x0B 0xXX Brightness sum outside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte). + For a pure white image, this number will be equal to 125 + times the area outside of the specified AE area. For + images that are not pure white, the value scales down + according to relative whiteness. + +The AE area (sx, sy, ex, ey) in the active window can be set by programming the +registers 0x1c, 0x1d, 0x1e and 0x1f of the SN9C10x controllers, where one unit +corresponds to 32 pixels. + +[1] The frame header has been documented by Bertrik Sikken. + + +9.

They have never collaborated with the author, so no advertising. + +From the point of view of a driver, what unambiguously identify a device are +its vendor and product USB identifiers.

Non-available hardware will not be supported by the author of this +driver. + + +10. How to add plug-in's for new image sensors +============================================== +It should be easy to write plug-in's for new sensors by using the small API +that has been created for this purpose, which is present in "sn9c102_sensor.h" +(documentation is included there). As an example, have a look at the code in +"sn9c102_pas106b.c", which uses the mentioned interface. + +At the moment, possible unsupported image sensors are: CIS-VF10 (VGA), +OV7620 (VGA), OV7630 (VGA). + + +11. Notes for V4L2 application developers +========================================= +This driver follows the V4L2 API specifications. In particular, it enforces two +rules: + +- exactly one I/O method, either "mmap" or "read", is associated with each +file descriptor. Once it is selected, the application must close and reopen the +device to switch to the other I/O method; + +- although it is not mandatory, previously mapped buffer memory should always +be unmapped before calling any "VIDIOC_S_CROP" or "VIDIOC_S_FMT" ioctl's. +The same number of buffers as before will be allocated again to match the size +of the new video frames, so you have to map the buffers again before any I/O +attempts on them. + +Consistently with the hardware limits, this driver also supports image +downscaling with arbitrary scaling factors from 1, 2 and 4 in both directions. +However, the V4L2 API specifications don't correctly define how the scaling +factor can be chosen arbitrarily by the "negotiation" of the "source" and +"target" rectangles. To work around this flaw, we have added the convention +that, during the negotiation, whenever the "VIDIOC_S_CROP" ioctl is issued, the +scaling factor is restored to 1. + +This driver supports two different video formats: the first one is the "8-bit +Sequential Bayer" format and can be used to obtain uncompressed video data +from the device through the current I/O method, while the second one provides +"raw" compressed video data (without frame headers not related to the +compressed data). The compression quality may vary from 0 to 1 and can be +selected or queried thanks to the VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP V4L2 +ioctl's. For maximum flexibility, both the default active video format and the +default compression quality depend on how the image sensor being used is +initialized (as described in the documentation of the API for the image sensors +supplied by this driver). + + +12. Video frame formats [1] +======================= +The SN9C10x PC Camera Controllers can send images in two possible video +formats over the USB: either native "Sequential RGB Bayer" or Huffman +compressed. The latter is used to achieve high frame rates. The current video +format may be selected or queried from the user application by calling the +VIDIOC_S_FMT or VIDIOC_G_FMT ioctl's, as described in the V4L2 API +specifications. + +The name "Sequential Bayer" indicates the organization of the red, green and +blue pixels in one video frame. Each pixel is associated with a 8-bit long +value and is disposed in memory according to the pattern shown below: + +B[0] G[1] B[2] G[3] ... B[m-2] G[m-1] +G[m] R[m+1] G[m+2] R[m+2] ... G[2m-2] R[2m-1] +... +... B[(n-1)(m-2)] G[(n-1)(m-1)] +... G[n(m-2)] R[n(m-1)] + +The above matrix also represents the sequential or progressive read-out mode of +the (n, m) Bayer color filter array used in many CCD/CMOS image sensors. + +One compressed video frame consists of a bitstream that encodes for every R, G, +or B pixel the difference between the value of the pixel itself and some +reference pixel value. Pixels are organised in the Bayer pattern and the Bayer +sub-pixels are tracked individually and alternatingly. For example, in the +first line values for the B and G1 pixels are alternatingly encoded, while in +the second line values for the G2 and R pixels are alternatingly encoded. + +The pixel reference value is calculated as follows: +- the 4 top left pixels are encoded in raw uncompressed 8-bit format; +- the value in the top two rows is the value of the pixel left of the current + pixel; +- the value in the left column is the value of the pixel above the current + pixel; +- for all other pixels, the reference value is the average of the value of the + pixel on the left and the value of the pixel above the current pixel; +- there is one code in the bitstream that specifies the value of a pixel + directly (in 4-bit resolution); +- pixel values need to be clamped inside the range [0..255] for proper + decoding. + +The algorithm purely describes the conversion from compressed Bayer code used +in the SN9C10x chips to uncompressed Bayer. Additional steps are required to +convert this to a color image (i.e. a color interpolation algorithm). + +The following Huffman codes have been found: +0: +0 (relative to reference pixel value) +100: +4 +101: -4? +1110xxxx: set absolute value to xxxx.0000 +1101: +11 +1111: -11 +11001: +20 +110000: -20 +110001: ??? - these codes are apparently not used + +[1] The Huffman compression algorithm has been reverse-engineered and + documented by Bertrik Sikken. + + +13.

General issues + +1.1 Why a new UHCI driver, we already have one?!? + +Correct, but its internal structure got more and more mixed up by the (still +ongoing) efforts to get isochronous transfers (ISO) to work. +Since there is an increasing need for reliable ISO-transfers (especially +for USB-audio needed by TS and for a DAB-USB-Receiver build by GA and DF), +this state was a bit unsatisfying in our opinion, so we've decided (based +on knowledge and experiences with the old UHCI driver) to start +from scratch with a new approach, much simpler but at the same time more +powerful. +It is inspired by the way Win98/Win2000 handles USB requests via URBs, +but it's definitely 100% free of MS-code and doesn't crash while +unplugging an used ISO-device like Win98 ;-) +Some code for HW setup and root hub management was taken from the +original UHCI driver, but heavily modified to fit into the new code. +The invention of the basic concept, and major coding were completed in two +days (and nights) on the 16th and 17th of October 1999, now known as the +great USB-October-Revolution started by GA, DF, and TS ;-) + +Since the concept is in no way UHCI dependent, we hope that it will also be +transferred to the OHCI-driver, so both drivers share a common API. + +1.2. Advantages and disadvantages + ++ All USB transfer types work now! ++ Asynchronous operation ++ Simple, but powerful interface (only two calls for start and cancel) ++ Easy migration to the new API, simplified by a compatibility API ++ Simple usage of ISO transfers ++ Automatic linking of requests ++ ISO transfers allow variable length for each frame and striping ++ No CPU dependent and non-portable atomic memory access, no asm()-inlines ++ Tested on x86 and Alpha + +- Rewriting for ISO transfers needed + +1.3. Is there some compatibility to the old API? + +Yes, but only for control, bulk and interrupt transfers. We've implemented +some wrapper calls for these transfer types. The usbcore works fine with +these wrappers. For ISO there's no compatibility, because the old ISO-API +and its semantics were unnecessary complicated in our opinion. + +1.4. What's really working? + +As said above, CTRL and BULK already work fine even with the wrappers, +so legacy code wouldn't notice the change. +Regarding to Thomas, ISO transfers now run stable with USB audio. +INT transfers (e.g. mouse driver) work fine, too. + +1.5. Are there any bugs? + +No ;-) +Hm... +Well, of course this implementation needs extensive testing on all available +hardware, but we believe that any fixes shouldn't harm the overall concept. + +1.6. What should be done next? + +A large part of the request handling seems to be identical for UHCI and +OHCI, so it would be a good idea to extract the common parts and have only +the HW specific stuff in uhci.c. Furthermore, all other USB device drivers +should need URBification, if they use isochronous or interrupt transfers. +One thing missing in the current implementation (and the old UHCI driver) +is fair queueing for BULK transfers. Since this would need (in principle) +the alteration of already constructed TD chains (to switch from depth to +breadth execution), another way has to be found. Maybe some simple +heuristics work with the same effect. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +2. Internal structure and mechanisms + +To get quickly familiar with the internal structures, here's a short +description how the new UHCI driver works. However, the ultimate source of +truth is only uhci.c! + +2.1. Descriptor structure (QHs and TDs) + +During initialization, the following skeleton is allocated in init_skel: + + framespecific | common chain + +framelist[] +[ 0 ]-----> TD --> TD -------\ +[ 1 ]-----> TD --> TD --------> TD ----> QH -------> QH -------> QH ---> NULL + ... TD --> TD -------/ +[1023]-----> TD --> TD ------/ + + ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ + 1024 TDs for 7 TDs for 1 TD for Start of Start of End Chain + ISO INT (2-128ms) 1ms-INT CTRL Chain BULK Chain + +For each CTRL or BULK transfer a new QH is allocated and the containing data +transfers are appended as (vertical) TDs. After building the whole QH with its +dangling TDs, the QH is inserted before the BULK Chain QH (for CTRL) or +before the End Chain QH (for BULK). Since only the QH->next pointers are +affected, no atomic memory operation is required. The three QHs in the +common chain are never equipped with TDs! + +For ISO or INT, the TD for each frame is simply inserted into the appropriate +ISO/INT-TD-chain for the desired frame. The 7 skeleton INT-TDs are scattered +among the 1024 frames similar to the old UHCI driver. + +For CTRL/BULK/ISO, the last TD in the transfer has the IOC-bit set. For INT, +every TD (there is only one...) has the IOC-bit set. + +Besides the data for the UHCI controller (2 or 4 32bit words), the descriptors +are double-linked through the .vertical and .horizontal elements in the +SW data of the descriptor (using the double-linked list structures and +operations), but SW-linking occurs only in closed domains, i.e. for each of +the 1024 ISO-chains and the 8 INT-chains there is a closed cycle. This +simplifies all insertions and unlinking operations and avoids costly +bus_to_virt()-calls. + +2.2. URB structure and linking to QH/TDs + +During assembly of the QH and TDs of the requested action, these descriptors +are stored in urb->urb_list, so the allocated QH/TD descriptors are bound to +this URB. +If the assembly was successful and the descriptors were added to the HW chain, +the corresponding URB is inserted into a global URB list for this controller. +This list stores all pending URBs. + +2.3. Interrupt processing + +Since UHCI provides no means to directly detect completed transactions, the +following is done in each UHCI interrupt (uhci_interrupt()): + +For each URB in the pending queue (process_urb()), the ACTIVE-flag of the +associated TDs are processed (depending on the transfer type +process_{transfer|interrupt|iso}()). If the TDs are not active anymore, +they indicate the completion of the transaction and the status is calculated. +Inactive QH/TDs are removed from the HW chain (since the host controller +already removed the TDs from the QH, no atomic access is needed) and +eventually the URB is marked as completed (OK or errors) and removed from the +pending queue. Then the next linked URB is submitted. After (or immediately +before) that, the completion handler is called. + +2.4. Unlinking URBs + +First, all QH/TDs stored in the URB are unlinked from the HW chain. +To ensure that the host controller really left a vertical TD chain, we +wait for one frame.

This function is analogous +to a packet socket used by network monitoring tools such as tcpdump(1) +or Ethereal. Similarly, it is expected that a tool such as usbdump or +USBMon (with uppercase letters) is used to examine raw traces produced +by usbmon. + +The usbmon reports requests made by peripheral-specific drivers to Host +Controller Drivers (HCD). So, if HCD is buggy, the traces reported by +usbmon may not correspond to bus transactions precisely. This is the same +situation as with tcpdump. + +* How to use usbmon to collect raw text traces + +Unlike the packet socket, usbmon has an interface which provides traces +in a text format. This is used for two purposes. First, it serves as a +common trace exchange format for tools while most sophisticated formats +are finalized. Second, humans can read it in case tools are not available. + +To collect a raw text trace, execute following steps. + +1. Prepare + +Mount debugfs (it has to be enabled in your kernel configuration), and +load the usbmon module (if built as module).

Find which bus connects to the desired device + +Run "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices", and find the T-line which corresponds to +the device. Usually you do it by looking for the vendor string. If you have +many similar devices, unplug one and compare two /proc/bus/usb/devices outputs. +The T-line will have a bus number. Example: + +T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 +D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 +P: Vendor=0557 ProdID=2004 Rev= 1.00 +S: Manufacturer=ATEN +S: Product=UC100KM V2.00 + +Bus=03 means it's bus 3. + +3.

In the last case make sure +that the file size is not excessive for your favourite editor. + +* Raw text data format + +The '0t' type data consists of a stream of events, such as URB submission, +URB callback, submission error. Every event is a text line, which consists +of whitespace separated words. The number of position of words may depend +on the event type, but there is a set of words, common for all types. + +Here is the list of words, from left to right: +- URB Tag. This is used to identify URBs is normally a kernel mode address + of the URB structure in hexadecimal. +- Timestamp in microseconds, a decimal number. The timestamp's resolution + depends on available clock, and so it can be much worse than a microsecond + (if the implementation uses jiffies, for example). +- Event Type. This type refers to the format of the event, not URB type. + Available types are: S - submission, C - callback, E - submission error. +- "Pipe". The pipe concept is deprecated. This is a composite word, used to + be derived from information in pipes. It consists of three fields, separated + by colons: URB type and direction, Device address, Endpoint number. + Type and direction are encoded with two bytes in the following manner: + Ci Co Control input and output + Zi Zo Isochronous input and output + Ii Io Interrupt input and output + Bi Bo Bulk input and output + Device address and Endpoint number are decimal numbers with leading zeroes + or 3 and 2 positions, correspondingly. +- URB Status. This field makes no sense for submissions, but is present + to help scripts with parsing. In error case, it contains the error code. +- Data Length. This is the actual length in the URB. +- Data tag. The usbmon may not always capture data, even if length is nonzero. + Only if tag is '=', the data words are present. +- Data words follow, in big endian hexadecimal format. Notice that they are + not machine words, but really just a byte stream split into words to make + it easier to read. Thus, the last word may contain from one to four bytes. + The length of collected data is limited and can be less than the data length + report in Data Length word. + +Here is an example of code to read the data stream in a well known programming +language: + +class ParsedLine { + int data_len; /* Available length of data */ + byte data[]; + + void parseData(StringTokenizer st) { + int availwords = st.countTokens(); + data = new byte[availwords * 4]; + data_len = 0; + while (st.hasMoreTokens()) { + String data_str = st.nextToken(); + int len = data_str.length() / 2; + int i; + for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { + data[data_len] = Byte.parseByte( + data_str.substring(i*2, i*2 + 2), + 16); + data_len++; + } + } + } +} + +This format is obviously deficient.

Overview +=========== +This driver supports the video streaming capabilities of the devices mounting +Winbond W9967CF and Winbond W9968CF JPEG USB Dual Mode Camera Chips. OV681 +based cameras should be supported as well. + +The driver is divided into two modules: the basic one, "w9968cf", is needed for +the supported devices to work; the second one, "w9968cf-vpp", is an optional +module, which provides some useful video post-processing functions like video +decoding, up-scaling and colour conversions. Once the driver is installed, +every time an application tries to open a recognized device, "w9968cf" checks +the presence of the "w9968cf-vpp" module and loads it automatically by default. + +Please keep in mind that official kernels do not include the second module for +performance purposes. However it is always recommended to download and install +the latest and complete release of the driver, replacing the existing one, if +present: it will be still even possible not to load the "w9968cf-vpp" module at +all, if you ever want to. Another important missing feature of the version in +the official Linux 2.4 kernels is the writeable /proc filesystem interface. + +The latest and full-featured version of the W996[87]CF driver can be found at: +http://www.linux-projects.org. Please refer to the documentation included in +that package, if you are going to use it. + +Up to 32 cameras can be handled at the same time. They can be connected and +disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if +your system supports the hotplug facility. + +To change the default settings for each camera, many parameters can be passed +through command line when the module is loaded into memory. + +The driver relies on the Video4Linux, USB and I2C core modules. It has been +designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. An additional module, +"ovcamchip", is mandatory; it provides support for some OmniVision image +sensors connected to the W996[87]CF chips; if found in the system, the module +will be automatically loaded by default (provided that the kernel has been +compiled with the automatic module loading option). + + +5. Supported devices +==================== +At the moment, known W996[87]CF and OV681 based devices are: +- Aroma Digi Pen VGA Dual Mode ADG-5000 (unknown image sensor) +- AVerMedia AVerTV USB (SAA7111A, Philips FI1216Mk2 tuner, PT2313L audio chip) +- Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go (OmniVision OV7610 sensor) +- Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go Plus (OmniVision OV7620 sensor) +- Lebon LDC-035A (unknown image sensor) +- Ezonics EZ-802 EZMega Cam (OmniVision OV8610C sensor) +- OmniVision OV8610-EDE (OmniVision OV8610 sensor) +- OPCOM Digi Pen VGA Dual Mode Pen Camera (unknown image sensor) +- Pretec Digi Pen-II (OmniVision OV7620 sensor) +- Pretec DigiPen-480 (OmniVision OV8610 sensor) + +If you know any other W996[87]CF or OV681 based cameras, please contact me. + +The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver: up +until now only webcams that have an image sensor supported by the "ovcamchip" +module work. Kernel messages will always tell you whether this is case. + +Possible external microcontrollers of those webcams are not supported: this +means that still images cannot be downloaded from the device memory. + +Furthermore, it's worth to note that I was only able to run tests on my +"Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go". Donations of other models, for +additional testing and full support, would be much appreciated. + + +6. Module dependencies +====================== +For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux, USB +and I2C, and the "ovcamchip" module for the image sensor. Make sure you are not +actually using any external "ovcamchip" module, given that the W996[87]CF +driver depends on the version of the module present in the official kernels. + +The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and +corresponding modules must be compiled: + + # Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m + + # I2C support + # + CONFIG_I2C=m + +The I2C core module can be compiled statically in the kernel as well. + + # OmniVision Camera Chip support + # + CONFIG_VIDEO_OVCAMCHIP=m + + # USB support + # + CONFIG_USB=m + +In addition, depending on the hardware being used, only one of the modules +below is necessary: + + # USB Host Controller Drivers + # + CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m + CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m + +And finally: + + # USB Multimedia devices + # + CONFIG_USB_W9968CF=m + + +7. Module loading +================= +To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "w9968cf" module into memory +after every other module required. + +Loading can be done this way, from root: + + [root@localhost home]# modprobe usbcore + [root@localhost home]# modprobe i2c-core + [root@localhost home]# modprobe videodev + [root@localhost home]# modprobe w9968cf + +At this point the pertinent devices should be recognized: "dmesg" can be used +to analyze kernel messages: + + [user@localhost home]$ dmesg + +There are a lot of parameters the module can use to change the default +settings for each device. To list every possible parameter with a brief +explanation about them and which syntax to use, it is recommended to run the +"modinfo" command: + + [root@locahost home]# modinfo w9968cf + + +8.
