2018-11-27lib: Include library in the install targetKieran Bingham
The shared library build target does not install the library when 'ninja install' is executed. Flag it as an installable item.

2018-11-26README: Update build instructionsKieran Bingham
README is currently a bit too sparse, and there is no guidance on how to use our build system. Add some initial instructions. Reviewed-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund@ragnatech.se> Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2018-11-22test: Register the initialisation test with mesonKieran Bingham
Register the test so that it can integrate with the meson test framework. To execute the test suite, use 'ninja test'. Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2018-11-20utils: ipu3: Add IPU3 raw capture unpack utilityLaurent Pinchart
The IPU3 captures Bayer data in a 25-pixels-in-32-bytes packed format, which no standard tool can process. Add a quick implementation of data unpacking to turn raw binary files into 16 bits per pixel unpacked Bayer data.

2018-10-24build: Provide initial meson infrastructureKieran Bingham
Define the starting points for the libcamera build using meson and ninja build components. An initial 'dummy' library class is created, and a test binary links against the shared library calling it's init_lib() function. Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2018-10-24libcamera: Supporting complex camera pipelinesKieran Bingham
Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms that must run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been implemented in a dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms have been moved to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and Linux often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution. To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android.
