2021-08-25Documentation: application-developer: Clean up build instructionsKieran Bingham
The build and run instructions read as if meson is the only way to compile the application. Although this is recommended, it is not required - adapt the language to fit better. While here, fix the naming of the simple_cam meson object to match the other usages of 'simple-cam'.

With pipeline handlers now being able to subclass Camera::Private, start the migration from CameraData to Camera::Private by moving the members of the base CameraData class.

2021-06-25libcamera/base: Introduce new base libraryKieran Bingham
The libcamera-base.so will feature internal support functionality that is utilised by libcamera, and can be shared in other places. This new library provides a layer beneath libcamera which provides common abstractions to internal objects. A pkg-config file is generated and named libcamera-base.pc which allows components such as external IPA modules to link directly to this library if they need. Normal applications will reference this library through the Requires: statement provided by the libcamera.pc package configuration, and linkage will be handled automatically through the pkg-config mechanisms. No code is moved to this library yet, this patch only introduces the framework, construction and linkage.

Moving the core.mojom documentation to its corresponding .cpp file (core_ipa_interface.cpp). This will allow Doxygen to generate the documentation for IPABuffer, IPASettings and IPAStream structures. Since the .mojom files are placed in include/ directory, the .cpp file will live in $sourcedir/src/libcamera/ipa/ - which can also contain documentation for other mojom generated IPA interfaces in subsequent commit. Also hide the constructors in generated IPA interface from doxygen, via #ifndef __DOXYGEN__.

2021-02-05libcamera: camera_sensor: Restrict sensor info to raw sensorsLaurent Pinchart
YUV sensors don't provide the necessary information to fill CameraSensorInfo, as they include an ISP and provide a higher-level API that doesn't always expose low-level information. The CameraSensor class makes low-level V4L2 controls mandatory for all sensors, which prevents usage of YUV sensors with the simple pipeline handler. Make CameraSensor::sensorInfo() available for raw sensors only. This won't introduce any regression in pipeline handlers that currently use the sensorInfo() function as they all operate with raw sensors, and won't be a limitation for the simple pipeline handler as well as it doesn't use sensor info. If part of the sensor info (such as the active pixel array size for instance) becomes useful to expose for YUV sensors in the future, the sensorInfo() function can be extended to report that information only and skip data that is only available for raw sensors.

2020-12-28libcamera: pipeline_handler: Remove Camera argument from request handlingNiklas Söderlund
There is no need to pass the Camera pointer to queueRequest(), completeBuffer() and completeRequest() as the Request also passed contains the same information. Remove the Camera argument to avoid situations where the information in the Request and the argument differ. There is no functional change and no public API change as the interface is only used between the Camera and PipelineHandler.

2020-12-27Documentation: Fix Doxygen exclusion of details namespacesLaurent Pinchart
The details namespaces in libcamera are used to hide implementation details, and should thus be excluded from documentation generation. This is done incorrectly by specifying the exclusion pattern "*::details::*" which will ignore all namespaces and types in any details namespace, but won't ignore functions. Fix it by removing the trailing "::*", causing Doxygen to ignore the namespace itself, and thus all its contents.

2020-12-08libcamera: pipeline: Pass libcamera controls into pipeline_handler::start()Naushir Patuck
Applications now have the ability to pass in controls that need to be applied on startup, rather than doing it through Request where there might be some frames of delay in getting the controls applied. This commit adds the ability to pass in a set of libcamera controls into the pipeline handlers through the pipeline_handler::start() method. These controls are provided by the application through the camera::start() public API.
