2023-11-30libcamera: controls: Use vendor tags for draft controls and propertiesNaushir Patuck
Label draft controls and properties through the "draft" vendor tag and deprecate the existing "draft: true" mechanism. This uses the new vendor tags mechanism to place draft controls in the same libcamera::controls::draft namespace and provide a defined control id range for these controls. This requires moving all draft controls from control_ids.yaml to control_ids_draft.yaml. One breaking change in this commit is that draft control ids also move to the libcamera::controls::draft namespace from the existing libcamera::controls namespace. This is desirable to avoid API breakages when adding new libcamera controls. So, for example, the use of controls::NOISE_REDUCTION_MODE will need to be replaced with controls::draft::NOISE_REDUCTION_MODE.

2023-11-29build: controls: Rework how controls and properties are generatedNaushir Patuck
Add support for using separate YAML files for controls and properties generation. The mapping of vendor/pipeline handler to control file is done through the controls_map variable in include/libcamera/meson.build. This simplifies management of vendor control definitions and avoids possible merge conflicts when changing the control_ids.yaml file for core and draft controls. With this change, libcamera and draft controls and properties files are designated the 'libcamera' vendor tag. In this change, we also rename control_ids.yaml -> control_ids_core.yaml and property_ids.yaml -> property_ids_core.yaml to designate these as core libcamera controls.

2023-11-29controls: Update argument handling for controls generation scriptsNaushir Patuck
The template file to the gen-controls.py and gen-py-controls.py is now passed in through the '-t' or '--template' command line argument instead of being a positional argument. This will allow multiple input files to be provided to the scripts in a future commit.

2023-11-29controls: Add vendor control/property support to generation scriptsNaushir Patuck
Add support for vendor-specific controls and properties to libcamera. The controls/properties are defined by a "vendor" tag in the YAML control description file, for example: vendor: rpi controls: - MyExampleControl: type: string description: | Test for libcamera vendor-specific controls. This will now generate a control id in the libcamera::controls::rpi namespace, ensuring no id conflict between different vendors, core or draft libcamera controls. Similarly, a ControlIdMap control is generated in the libcamera::controls::rpi namespace. A #define LIBCAMERA_HAS_RPI_VENDOR_CONTROLS is also generated to allow applications to conditionally compile code if the specific vendor controls are present. For the python bindings, the control is available with libcamera.controls.rpi.MyExampleControl. The above controls example applies similarly to properties. Existing libcamera controls defined in control_ids.yaml are given the "libcamera" vendor tag. A new --mode flag is added to gen-controls.py to specify the mode of operation, either 'controls' or 'properties' to allow the code generator to correctly set the #define string. As a drive-by, sort and redefine the output command line argument in gen-controls.py and gen-py-controls.py to ('--output', '-o') for consistency.

2023-10-16py: gen-py-controls: Remove SceneFlicker workaroundKieran Bingham
The python bindings layer has to parse the libcamera controls to ensure that they are converted to suitable names for the python layer. Part of this strips out common prefixes from control names, however the SceneFlicker control would end up using an illegal name if processed in the same way as the other controls. The SceneFlicker control has now been removed as part of the introduction of the AeFlickerMode and AeFlickerPeriod controls. Remove the workaround in the python layer.

2022-05-27py: Generate bindings for propertiesTomi Valkeinen
Generate bindings for properties in a very similar way as done for controls. We do need to distinguish between the two, and thus I added --properties flag to gen-py-controls.py.

2022-05-27py: Re-implement controls genenerationTomi Valkeinen
The Python bindings controls generation was not very good. It only covered the enums and they were in the main namespace. This adds the controls somewhat similarly to the C++ side. We will have e.g.: libcamera.controls.Brightness libcamera.controls.AeMeteringModeEnum.CentreWeighted Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
