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.

Memory locations for Encoder Buffers 0x700-0x7ff:

These registers show offsets of memory locations pertaining to each
buffer area used for encoding, have to shift them by <<1 first.

  to re-enable the VPU.
- Sleep for 1 second.
- Issue status API commands to both firmware images to verify.


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.

CX2341X_DEC_STOP_PLAYBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Enum: 2/0x02

Description
^^^^^^^^^^^

Ends playback and clears all decoder buffers. If PTS is not zero,
playback stops at specified PTS.

Param[0]
^^^^^^^^

Display 0=last frame, 1=black

.. note::

	this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,
	then use '0', otherwise the screen goes to black at once.
	You can call this later (even if there is no playback) with a 1 value
	to set the screen to black.

Param[1]
^^^^^^^^

CX2341X_DEC_SET_PLAYBACK_SPEED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Enum: 3/0x03

Description
^^^^^^^^^^^

Playback stream at speed other than normal. There are two modes of

	- Smooth: host transfers entire stream and firmware drops unused
	  frames.
	- Coarse: host drops frames based on indexing as required to achieve
	  desired speed.

Param[0]
^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: none

	Bitmap:
	    0:7  0 normal
		 1 fast only "1.5 times"
		 n nX fast, 1/nX slow

			 must not exceed 8mbps)
	    31   Speed:
		     '0' slow
		     '1' fast

.. note::

	n is limited to 2. Anything higher does not result in
	faster playback. Instead the host should start dropping frames.

Param[1]
^^^^^^^^

Direction: 0=forward, 1=reverse

.. note::

	to make reverse playback work you have to write full GOPs in
	reverse order.

Param[2]

	Picture mask:
	    1=I frames
	    3=I, P frames
	    7=I, P, B frames

Param[3]
^^^^^^^^

B frames per GOP (for reverse play only)

.. note::

	for reverse playback the Picture Mask should be set to I or I, P.

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.

	2818
	bits 0:31
		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.

	2830
	bits 0:31
		Decoder horizontal UV alias trigger

	These six registers control the horizontal aliasing for the UV plane.
	Operation is the same as the Y filter, with 2830 being the trigger
	register.

	---------------
	2838
	bits 0:15
		Decoder UV source width in pixels

	bits 16:31
		Decoder UV destination width in pixels

	NOTE: For both registers, the resulting image must be fully visible on
	screen. If the image exceeds the right edge both the source and destination
	size must be adjusted to reflect the visible portion. For the source width,
	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.

	bits 15:31

	the on screen image will move left & wrap around higher up on the right.

	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	2870
	bits 0:15
		Decoder horizontal Y output offset

	bits 16:31
		Decoder horizontal UV output offset

	Offsets the actual video output. Controls output alignment of the Y & UV
	planes. The higher the value, the greater the shift to the left. Use

	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	288C
	bits 0:15
		osd ?? unknown
		Appears to affect the osd position stability. The higher the value the
		more unstable it becomes. Decoder output remains stable.

	bits 16:31
		osd ?? unknown
		Same as bits 0:15

	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	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
	range.

	NOTE: Video corruption will occur if video window is shifted off the right
	edge. To avoid this read the notes for 2834 & 2838.
	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	2894
	bits 0:23
		Decoder output video surround colour.

	Contains the colour (in yuv) used to fill the screen when the video is
	running in a window.
	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	2898
	bits 0:23
		Decoder video window colour
		Contains the colour (in yuv) used to fill the video window when the
		video is turned off.

	bit 24
		Decoder video output
		0 = Video on
		1 = Video off

	bit 28
		Decoder plane order
		0 = Y,UV
		1 = UV,Y

	bit 29
		Decoder second plane byte order
		0 = Normal (UV)
		1 = Swapped (VU)

	In normal usage, the first plane is Y & the second plane is UV. Though the
	order of the planes can be swapped, only the byte order of the second plane
	can be swapped. This isn't much use for the Y plane, but can be useful for
	the UV plane.

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

	bits 16:31
		Decoder vertical field offset 2

	Controls field output vertical alignment. The higher the number, the lower
	the image on screen. Known starting values are 0x011E0017 (NTSC) &
	0x01500017 (PAL)
	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	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

	---------------
	2904
	bits 0:31
		Decoder vertical Y alias register 2
	---------------
	2908
	bits 0:31
		Decoder vertical Y alias trigger

	These three registers control the vertical aliasing filter for the Y plane.
	Operation is similar to the horizontal Y filter (2804). The only real
	difference is that there are only two registers to set before accessing
	the trigger register (2908). As for the horizontal filter, the values are
	taken from a lookup table in the firmware, and the procedure must be
	repeated 16 times to fully program the filter.

	bits 16:31
		Decoder UV destination height in pixels

	NOTE: For both registers, the resulting image must be fully visible on
	screen. If the image exceeds the bottom edge both the source and
	destination size must be adjusted to reflect the visible portion. For the
	source height, you must take into account the scaling when calculating the
	new value.

	Most of these registers either control vertical scaling, or appear linked

	registers can be calculated from that one. You must also remember to
	correctly set the divider in Reg 296C

	To enlarge:
		Reg 2930 = (source_height * 0x00200000) / destination_height
		Reg 296C = No divide

	To reduce from full size down to half size:
		Reg 2930 = (source_height/2 * 0x00200000) / destination height
		Reg 296C = Divide by 2

	To reduce from half down to quarter.

		Must be 0x001B (some kind of buffer pointer ?)

	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)
