2024-05-14libcamera: camera_manager: Add environment variable to order pipelines matchJulien Vuillaumier
To match the enumerated media devices, each registered pipeline handler is used in no specific order. It is a limitation when several pipelines can match the devices, and user has to select a specific pipeline. For this purpose, environment variable LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST is created to give the option to define an ordered list of pipelines to match on. LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST="<name1>[,<name2>[,<name3>...]]]" Example: LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST="rkisp1,simple" Signed-off-by: Julien Vuillaumier <julien.vuillaumier@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo.mondi@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2023-05-04pipeline: ipa: raspberrypi: Refactor and move the Raspberry Pi codeNaushir Patuck
Split the Raspberry Pi pipeline handler and IPA source code into common and VC4/BCM2835 specific file structures. For the pipeline handler, the common code files now live in src/libcamera/pipeline/rpi/common/ and the VC4-specific files in src/libcamera/pipeline/rpi/vc4/. For the IPA, the common code files now live in src/ipa/rpi/{cam_helper,controller}/ and the vc4 specific files in src/ipa/rpi/vc4/. With this change, the camera tuning files are now installed under share/libcamera/ipa/rpi/vc4/. To build the pipeline and IPA, the meson configuration options have now changed from "raspberrypi" to "rpi/vc4": meson setup build -Dipas=rpi/vc4 -Dpipelines=rpi/vc4 Signed-off-by: Naushir Patuck <naush@raspberrypi.com> Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo.mondi@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
2023-01-31pipeline: raspberrypi: Read config parameters from a fileNaushir Patuck
Add the ability to read the platform configuration parameters from a config file provided by the user through the LIBCAMERA_RPI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. Use the PipelineHandler::configurationFile() helper to determine the full path of the file. Provide an example configuration file named example.yaml. Currently two parameters are available through the json file: "min_unicam_buffers" The minimum number of internal Unicam buffers to allocate. "min_total_unicam_buffers" The minimum number of internal + external Unicam buffers that must be allocated.

2022-06-06libcamera: base: log: Add coloring to the log outputLaurent Pinchart
Extend the logger to support coloring messages. The log level is colorized with per-level colors, and the category with a fixed color. This makes the log output more readable. Coloring is enabled by default when logging to std::cerr, and can be disabled by setting the LIBCAMERA_LOG_NO_COLOR environment variable. When logging to a file with LIBCAMERA_LOG_FILE, coloring is disabled. It can be enabled for file logging using the logSetFile() function.

2021-07-19libcamera: ipa_manager: Allow forcing IPA module isolationLaurent Pinchart
For test purpose it's useful to run open-source IPA modules in isolation. This can already be done by deleting the corresponding signature file, but that method can be inconvenient. Add a way to force IPA module isolation through a new LIBCAMERA_IPA_FORCE_ISOLATION environment variable.

The usage of # in embedded URIs for references to sections in reStructuredText is HTML specific. Use the standard rST reference to targets instead, to be compatible with other formats as well, should this documentation ever be exported to PDF, for example.

Describe the environment variables used in libcamera, excluded variables are `LIBCAMERA_IPA_FORCE_C_API` and `LIBCAMERA_IPA_PROXY_PATH`, the former because it is likely to be removed and the later because it has no current use-case. Add a brief explanation for the IPA configuration and IPA modules. List all the available Log levels and categories and add a short guide on how to use them for debugging.
