2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a list of I2C driversMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+267
For completeness, let's add a list of I2C drivers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a list of platform driversMauro Carvalho Chehab1-5/+81
There's no reason why to keep platform drivers out of the card list. Add them. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a table with USB driversMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+78
Having a table with a list of all USB drivers seems worth, and it comes almost for free, as we can just use Kconfig descriptions (with some adjustments). So, add a table for that. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a list of media PCI cardsMauro Carvalho Chehab2-27/+48
Instead of listing "other" PCI card list, just add a list with the existing drivers (not including sub-drivers). Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: replace the frontend drivers listMauro Carvalho Chehab1-33/+211
The frontend drivers list is incomplete. Update it from what's there at the Kernel Kconfig files. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: split DVB cards.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab5-148/+79
The DVB cards.rst file is old and outdated. It also contains data that are contained on other cardlists. Remove the duplicated information and split frontends and PCI cards on separate files. As all USB cards already have their own card lists, just drop the old USB data there. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a cardlist for all other USB cardsMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+94
There are several other USB cards. Most of them support just one device. The only exception is the "pwc" driver. But, as updates to it are not frequent, let's just place everything manually into a single file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a card list for the Siano driverMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+58
The siano driver looks like em28xx, except that its cards are split on 3 drivers. Add a card list for it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>

2020-04-22media: admin-guide: improve cardlist.rst documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-5/+111
The cardlist section is important for some boards, because they may require extra modprobe parameters. Improve the docs to mention that. Thanks-to: Hans Verkuil <[email protected]> # for providing me some PCI IDs Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a generic building guideMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+358
Several of the existing documents under the media admin-guide contain build procedures. Add an specific chapter describing it. This document was partially inspired on the modifications I made to the bttv.rst file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: Add an introduction chapterMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+29
The media's admin guide is currently just a group of not-connected docs. Add an introduction chapter for it to start making sense to a random reader. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: update em28xx cardlistMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+4
A new em28xx card was added upstream. Update cards list accordingly. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a card list for cx231xx boardsMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+100
It is interesting to have a card list also for cx231xx driver, as it currently supports 27 different boards. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide streaming examples for imx6q-sabresdFabio Estevam1-0/+45
Improve the documentation by providing examples on how to test camera capture on imx6q-sabresd via v4l2-ctl and Gstreamer.

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide the OV560 module part numberFabio Estevam1-2/+2
In order to improve the documentation, provide the OV5640 MIPI module part number that is used on the imx6q-sabresd board.

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide an example for unprocessed video captureFabio Estevam1-0/+20
The current example for imx6q-sabresd is for a direct conversion pipeline. Provide an extra example using unprocessed video capture for completeness.

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Fix the MIPI CSI-2 virtual channelFabio Estevam1-16/+15
The current instructions for imx6q-sabresd do not lead to functional capture on OV5640 MIPI CSI-2. The reason for this, as explained by Steve Longerbeam, is that OV5640 by default transmits on virtual channel 0, not channel 1 as is given in the instructions. Adapt the instructions to use virtual channel 0 so that a working camera setup can be achieved on imx6q-sabresd. Also, since we are using an IC direct conversion pipeline, improve the example by demonstrating colorspace and scaling.

2020-04-15media: docs: get rid of obsoleted udev documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab3-66/+0
This file is very old, and doesn't match the current udev behavior. I wanted to preserve it, because we'll need some udev description some day about how to keep names unique, but there's nothing here to help with that... So, be it: let's just discard this document, as it doesn't provide anything useful anymore. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: zr364xx: update documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-18/+10
There aren't much to be done here... almost everything is still valid. The supported boards even reflect the current driver's state. Yet, some things changed, so let's keep this document updated. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: saa7134.rst: update the documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-15/+42

2020-04-15media: docs: update bttv.rst informationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-184/+139
This document is... old. The bttv driver was one of the first drivers at the Kernel. So, the document became a little obsoleted. Update it to reflect some changes that happened along the time affecting this driver and the subsystem. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: bt8xx.rst: update document infoMauro Carvalho Chehab1-52/+86
This document is very outdated, and doesn't match the upstream current way. Update it, making some parts a little bit more generic. While the main focus of this document is digital TV cards, its content also may also help someone with just analog TV support. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: update avermedia.rst contentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-5/+5
While this is old, now that we moved the intro part of it, its contents seem to be valid, if we mention that we're talking only about the BT878 support. Update the document title accordingly and remove the obsolete note from it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: intro.rst actually contain DVB referencesMauro Carvalho Chehab3-28/+32

2020-04-15media: docs: dvb_intro.rst: update its contentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-158/+572
The content there is somewhat outdated. Update to reflect the current status. While here, remove extra spaces, as we won't be preserving left margin alinment on this document. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2020-04-15media: docs: split avermedia.rst contents on two filesMauro Carvalho Chehab3-179/+204
Part of this document has nothing to do with the Avermedia driver. It is generic to the entire subsystem. So, split it on a separate file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>

2020-04-14media: docs: move user-facing docs to the admin guideMauro Carvalho Chehab54-0/+12338
