+The cx2341x driver
+==================
+
+Memory at cx2341x chips
+-----------------------
+
+This section describes the cx2341x memory map and documents some of the
+register space.
+
+.. note:: the memory long words are little-endian ('intel format').
+
+.. warning::
+
+ This information was figured out from searching through the memory
+ and registers, this information may not be correct and is certainly
+ not complete, and was not derived from anything more than searching
+ through the memory space with commands like:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ ivtvctl -O min=0x02000000,max=0x020000ff
+
+ So take this as is, I'm always searching for more stuff, it's a large
+ register space :-).
+
+Memory Map
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The cx2341x exposes its entire 64M memory space to the PCI host via the PCI BAR0
+(Base Address Register 0). The addresses here are offsets relative to the
+address held in BAR0.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ 0x00000000-0x00ffffff Encoder memory space
+ 0x00000000-0x0003ffff Encode.rom
+ ???-??? MPEG buffer(s)
+ ???-??? Raw video capture buffer(s)
+ ???-??? Raw audio capture buffer(s)
+ ???-??? Display buffers (6 or 9)
+
+ 0x01000000-0x01ffffff Decoder memory space
+ 0x01000000-0x0103ffff Decode.rom
+ ???-??? MPEG buffers(s)
+ 0x0114b000-0x0115afff Audio.rom (deprecated?)
+
+ 0x02000000-0x0200ffff Register Space
+
+Registers
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The registers occupy the 64k space starting at the 0x02000000 offset from BAR0.
+All of these registers are 32 bits wide.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ DMA Registers 0x000-0xff:
+
+ 0x00 - Control:
+ 0=reset/cancel, 1=read, 2=write, 4=stop
+ 0x04 - DMA status:
+ 1=read busy, 2=write busy, 4=read error, 8=write error, 16=link list error
+ 0x08 - pci DMA pointer for read link list
+ 0x0c - pci DMA pointer for write link list
+ 0x10 - read/write DMA enable:
+ 1=read enable, 2=write enable
+ 0x14 - always 0xffffffff, if set any lower instability occurs, 0x00 crashes
+ 0x18 - ??
+ 0x1c - always 0x20 or 32, smaller values slow down DMA transactions
+ 0x20 - always value of 0x780a010a
+ 0x24-0x3c - usually just random values???
+ 0x40 - Interrupt status
+ 0x44 - Write a bit here and shows up in Interrupt status 0x40
+ 0x48 - Interrupt Mask
+ 0x4C - always value of 0xfffdffff,
+ if changed to 0xffffffff DMA write interrupts break.
+ 0x50 - always 0xffffffff
+ 0x54 - always 0xffffffff (0x4c, 0x50, 0x54 seem like interrupt masks, are
+ 3 processors on chip, Java ones, VPU, SPU, APU, maybe these are the
+ interrupt masks???).
+ 0x60-0x7C - random values
+ 0x80 - first write linked list reg, for Encoder Memory addr
+ 0x84 - first write linked list reg, for pci memory addr
+ 0x88 - first write linked list reg, for length of buffer in memory addr
+ (|0x80000000 or this for last link)
+ 0x8c-0xdc - rest of write linked list reg, 8 sets of 3 total, DMA goes here
+ from linked list addr in reg 0x0c, firmware must push through or
+ something.
+ 0xe0 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for pci memory addr
+ 0xe4 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for Decoder memory addr
+ 0xe8 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for length of buffer
+ 0xec-0xff - Nothing seems to be in these registers, 0xec-f4 are 0x00000000.

+
+
+How to call the firmware API
+----------------------------
+
+The preferred calling convention is known as the firmware mailbox. The
+mailboxes are basically a fixed length array that serves as the call-stack.
+
+Firmware mailboxes can be located by searching the encoder and decoder memory
+for a 16 byte signature. That signature will be located on a 256-byte boundary.
+
+Signature:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34,
+ 0x34, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x78
+
+The firmware implements 20 mailboxes of 20 32-bit words. The first 10 are
+reserved for API calls. The second 10 are used by the firmware for event
+notification.
+
+ ====== =================
+ Index Name
+ ====== =================
+ 0 Flags
+ 1 Command
+ 2 Return value
+ 3 Timeout
+ 4-19 Parameter/Result
+ ====== =================
+
+
+The flags are defined in the following table. The direction is from the
+perspective of the firmware.
+
+ ==== ========== ============================================
+ Bit Direction Purpose
+ ==== ========== ============================================
+ 2 O Firmware has processed the command.
+ 1 I Driver has finished setting the parameters.
+ 0 I Driver is using this mailbox.
+ ==== ========== ============================================
+
+The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in this
+chapter.
+
+The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined:
+
+- 0=success
+- -1=command undefined.
+
+There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields
+with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites
+these fields with result values returned by the call.
+
+The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver
+doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware
+will reset that mailbox.
+
+To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the
+first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills
+in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The
+driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the
+mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates
+the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call
+complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results
+and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the
+time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox.
+
+Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host. The host tells the
+firmware which events it is interested in via an API call. That call tells the
+firmware which notification mailbox to use. The firmware signals the host via
+an interrupt. Only the 16 Results fields are used, the Flags, Command, Return
+value and Timeout words are not used.

+
+Display 0=last frame, 1=black
+
+.. note::
+
+ this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,

+PVR350 Video decoder registers 0x02002800 -> 0x02002B00

+Date: 12 March 2007
+
+
+This list has been worked out through trial and error. There will be mistakes
+and omissions. Some registers have no obvious effect so it's hard to say what
+they do, while others interact with each other, or require a certain load
+sequence. Horizontal filter setup is one example, with six registers working
+in unison and requiring a certain load sequence to correctly configure. The
+indexed colour palette is much easier to set at just two registers, but again
+it requires a certain load sequence.
+
+Some registers are fussy about what they are set to. Load in a bad value & the
+decoder will fail. A firmware reload will often recover, but sometimes a reset
+is required. For registers containing size information, setting them to 0 is
+generally a bad idea. For other control registers i.e. 2878, you'll only find
+out what values are bad when it hangs.

+ Decoder horizontal Y alias trigger
+
+ These six registers control the horizontal aliasing filter for the Y plane.
+ The first five registers must all be loaded before accessing the trigger
+ (2818), as this register actually clocks the data through for the first
+ five.
+
+ To correctly program set the filter, this whole procedure must be done 16
+ times. The actual register contents are copied from a lookup-table in the
+ firmware which contains 4 different filter settings.

+

+ Decoder UV destination width in pixels
+
+ NOTE: For both registers, the resulting image must be fully visible on

+ you must take into account the scaling when calculating the new value.

+
+ Most of these registers either control horizontal scaling, or appear linked
+ to it in some way. Register 2854 contains the 'master' value & the other
+ registers can be calculated from that one. You must also remember to
+ correctly set the divider in Reg 2874.
+
+ To enlarge:
+ Reg 2854 = (source_width * 0x00200000) / destination_width
+ Reg 2874 = No divide
+
+ To reduce from full size down to half size:
+ Reg 2854 = (source_width/2 * 0x00200000) / destination width
+ Reg 2874 = Divide by 2
+
+ To reduce from half size down to quarter size:
+ Reg 2854 = (source_width/4 * 0x00200000) / destination width
+ Reg 2874 = Divide by 4
+
+ The result is always rounded up.

+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2890
+ bits 0:11
+ Decoder output horizontal offset.
+
+ Horizontal offset moves the video image right. A small left shift is
+ possible, but it's better to use reg 2870 for that due to its greater

+
+ NOTE: Video corruption will occur if video window is shifted off the right

+
+ bit 29
+ Decoder second plane byte order

+
+ In normal usage, the first plane is Y & the second plane is UV. Though the

+ 289C
+ bits 0:15
+ Decoder vertical field offset 1
+

+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 28A0
+ bits 0:15
+ Decoder & osd width in pixels
+
+ bits 16:31
+ Decoder & osd height in pixels
+
+ All output from the decoder & osd are disabled beyond this area. Decoder
+ output will simply go black outside of this region. If the osd tries to
+ exceed this area it will become corrupt.
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 28A4
+ bits 0:11
+ osd left shift.
+
+ Has a range of 0x770->0x7FF. With the exception of 0, any value outside of
+ this range corrupts the osd.
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 28A8
+ bits 0:15
+ osd vertical field offset 1
+
+ bits 16:31
+ osd vertical field offset 2

+
+ When the bits-per-pixel is set to 8, the colour mode is ignored and
+ assumed to be 8 bit indexed. For 16 & 32 bits-per-pixel the colour depth
+ is honoured, and when using a colour depth that requires fewer bytes than
+ allocated the extra bytes are used as padding. So for a 32 bpp with 8 bit
+ index colour, there are 3 padding bytes per pixel. It's also possible to
+ select 16bpp with a 32 bit colour mode. This results in the pixel width
+ being doubled, but the color key will not work as expected in this mode.
+
+ Colour key is as it suggests. You designate a colour which will become
+ completely transparent. When using 565, 555 or 444 colour modes, the
+ colour key is always 16 bits wide. The colour to key on is set in Reg 2A18.
+
+ Local alpha works differently depending on the colour mode. For 32bpp & 8
+ bit indexed, local alpha is a per-pixel 256 step transparency, with 0 being
+ transparent and 255 being solid. For the 16bpp modes 555 & 444, the unused
+ bit(s) act as a simple transparency switch, with 0 being solid & 1 being
+ fully transparent. There is no local alpha support for 16bit 565.
+
+ Global alpha is a 256 step transparency that applies to the entire osd,
+ with 0 being transparent & 255 being solid.
+
+ It's possible to combine colour key, local alpha & global alpha.

+
+The cx231xx DMA engine
+----------------------
+
+
+This page describes the structures and procedures used by the cx2341x DMA
+engine.
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The cx2341x PCI interface is busmaster capable. This means it has a DMA
+engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main
+memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate
+on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities
+on virtual memory machines.
+
+Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can
+transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large
+contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers.
+
+In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers
+above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is
+important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally
+allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is
+urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique.
+
+Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information.
+
+Note: the hardware expects little-endian data ('intel format').
+
+Flow
+~~~~
+
+This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA
+transfers. Detailed information follows this section.
+
+- The card raises the Encoder interrupt.
+- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10.
+- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers
+ to cover the size.
+- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call.
+- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt.
+- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors.
+- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers.
+
+NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised
+simultaneously. (End of the last, start of the next, etc.)
+
+Mailbox #10
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Flags, Command, Return Value and Timeout fields are ignored.
+
+- Name: Mailbox #10
+- Results[0]: Type: 0: MPEG.
+- Results[1]: Offset: The position relative to the card's memory space.
+- Results[2]: Size: The exact number of bytes to transfer.
+
+My speculation is that since the StartCapture API has a capture type of "RAW"
+available, that the type field will have other values that correspond to YUV
+and PCM data.
+
+Scatter-Gather Array
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The scatter-gather array is a contiguously allocated block of memory that
+tells the card the source and destination of each data-block to transfer.
+Card "addresses" are derived from the offset supplied by Mailbox #10. Host
+addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer.
+
+Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is
+the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the
+entire 32 bits. The lowest 18 bits of the third word is the transfer byte
+count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells
+the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if
+you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will
+most likely get corrupted.
+
+The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need
+to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it
+accordingly.
+
+Array Element:
+
+- 32-bit Source Address
+- 32-bit Destination Address
+- 14-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag)
+- 18-bit byte count
+
+DMA Transfer Status
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status:
+
+- bit 0: read completed
+- bit 1: write completed
+- bit 2: DMA read error
+- bit 3: DMA write error
+- bit 4: Scatter-Gather array error
+
+Non-compressed file format
+--------------------------
+
+The cx23416 can produce (and the cx23415 can also read) raw YUV output. The
+format of a YUV frame is specific to this chip and is called HM12. 'HM' stands
+for 'Hauppauge Macroblock', which is a misnomer as 'Conexant Macroblock' would
+be more accurate.
+
+The format is YUV 4:2:0 which uses 1 Y byte per pixel and 1 U and V byte per
+four pixels.
+
+The data is encoded as two macroblock planes, the first containing the Y
+values, the second containing UV macroblocks.
+
+The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels from left to right
+and from top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
+
+So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block, the
+second 16 bytes are the second line of the top-left block, etc. After
+transmitting this block the first line of the block on the right to the
+first block is transmitted, etc.
+
+The UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x8 UV values going from left
+to right, top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
+
+So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block and
+contain 8 UV value pairs (16 bytes in total). The second 16 bytes are the
+second line of 8 UV pairs of the top-left block, etc. After transmitting
+this block the first line of the block on the right to the first block is
+transmitted, etc.
+
+The code below is given as an example on how to convert HM12 to separate
+Y, U and V planes. This code assumes frames of 720x576 (PAL) pixels.
+
+The width of a frame is always 720 pixels, regardless of the actual specified
+width.
+
+If the height is not a multiple of 32 lines, then the captured video is
+missing macroblocks at the end and is unusable. So the height must be a
+multiple of 32.

+Format of embedded V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
+
+
+This section describes the V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV format of the VBI data
+embedded in an MPEG-2 program stream. This format is in part dictated by some
+hardware limitations of the ivtv driver (the driver for the Conexant cx23415/6
+chips), in particular a maximum size for the VBI data. Anything longer is cut
+off when the MPEG stream is played back through the cx23415.
+
+The advantage of this format is it is very compact and that all VBI data for
+all lines can be stored while still fitting within the maximum allowed size.
+
+The stream ID of the VBI data is 0xBD. The maximum size of the embedded data is
+4 + 43 * 36, which is 4 bytes for a header and 2 * 18 VBI lines with a 1 byte
+header and a 42 bytes payload each. Anything beyond this limit is cut off by
+the cx23415/6 firmware. Besides the data for the VBI lines we also need 36 bits
+for a bitmask determining which lines are captured and 4 bytes for a magic cookie,
+signifying that this data package contains V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data.
+If all lines are used, then there is no longer room for the bitmask. To solve this
+two different magic numbers were introduced:
+
+'itv0': After this magic number two unsigned longs follow. Bits 0-17 of the first
+unsigned long denote which lines of the first field are captured. Bits 18-31 of
+the first unsigned long and bits 0-3 of the second unsigned long are used for the
+second field.
+
+'ITV0': This magic number assumes all VBI lines are captured, i.e. it implicitly
+implies that the bitmasks are 0xffffffff and 0xf.
+
+After these magic cookies (and the 8 byte bitmask in case of cookie 'itv0') the
+captured VBI lines start:
+
+For each line the least significant 4 bits of the first byte contain the data type.
+Possible values are shown in the table below. The payload is in the following 42
+bytes.
+
+Here is the list of possible data types:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_TELETEXT 0x1 // Teletext (uses lines 6-22 for PAL)
+ #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_CC 0x4 // Closed Captions (line 21 NTSC)
+ #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_WSS 0x5 // Wide Screen Signal (line 23 PAL)
+ #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_VPS 0x7 // Video Programming System (PAL) (line 16)
+
