The sensor supports 8 or 10 bit readout modes, but the
driver only supported 10 bit.

Add 8 bit readout.

I wonder if OV9282_PIXEL_RATE(bpp) wouldn't be better

Same here where instead of hardcoding the values for the 10/8 bit
modes they could be constructed as

        #define OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D              0x40
        #define OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D_RAW8         BIT(5)
        #define OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D_RAW10        BIT(4)

        OV9282_REG_PLL_CTRL_0D = OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D
                               |(8bit ? OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D_RAW8
                                      : OV9282_PLL_CTRL_0D_RAW10);

Same for ANA_CORE_2, where BIT(4) is flipped according to the selected
readout mode.

But as I presume there won't be another readout mode to add support
for, I guess hardcoding is fine ?

Using this series I was able to do some camera playback on LVDS display on 
imx8mm based platform (TQMa8MxML). My command was 'gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src 
device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-
raw,format=GRAY8,bpp=8,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! 
waylandsink'
But due to SW colorspace conversion this is awfully slow.
Using a testsink I get about 72FPS on 1280x720 for GREY. Is this to be 
expected?
I used 'gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-
raw,format=GRAY8,bpp=8,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1 ! fpsdisplaysink 
video-sink="testsink" text-overlay=false silent=false sync=false -v' for that.

Apparently gstreamer does not support Y10. Do you have a different way 
toactually use Y10?

Thanks

AFAIK v4l2src doesn't map from a caps framerate=30/1 to the relevant
V4L2_CID_VBLANK and V4L2_CID_HBLANK controls used by raw sensors for
frame rate control (see docs at [1]). The sensor will therefore stream
at whatever rate the controls get left at.
I'm assuming you're not using Media Controller either, as v4l2src
won't set up Media Controller links correctly either.

Running a Raspberry Pi in the same non-Media Controller mode:
v4l2-ctl -v width=1280,height=800,pixelformat=Y10P
v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap=3 --stream-count=1000 --stream-to=/dev/null
gives me 60.28fps.

HBLANK defaults to 176, and VBLANK to 1022:
160MPix/s / ((1280+176) * (800+1022)) = 60.3fps.

v4l2-ctl -v width=1280,height=800,pixelformat=GREY
v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap=3 --stream-count=1000 --stream-to=/dev/null
Gives me 72.33fps as neither HBLANK nor VBLANK have been altered, but
V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE has been increased.

Run the numbers the other way for eg 120fps
200MPix/s / ( 120fps * (width 1280 + HBLANK 176)) - height (800) = VBLANK = 344
v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=vertical_blanking=344
Streaming with that gives me 115.17fps, so you're now making me
question the Y8 pixel rate.
192MPix/s appears to be the right value to make the numbers work.

I don't recall where I'd got the 200MPix/s value from - it's not
documented in the datasheet, but presumably from 160 * 10 / 8
(switching from 10 to 8 bits at the same output rate). You're the
first to notice the rates are off, although at least it's less than
the factor of two that this driver used to be out by.

Sakari: Do you want a new version of the patchset, or just a fixup on top?

We're using libcamera on Raspberry Pi. The Pi ISP will happily consume
raw 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16, and spit out YUV or RGB.
The alternative is v4l2-ctl as above.

Depending on what unpacking your platform is capable of, you may be
able to request V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y10 (10bit sample in a 16bit word) and
then pass it through GStreamer as either GRAY16_LE or GRAY16_BE.
V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y10P is a bit of a pain to handle (4 pixels in 5 bytes as
described in [2]), but is more efficient on memory usage.

Do note that this is still a raw image sensor and therefore the images
will generally have a non-zero black level, and quite probably lens
shading artifacts. They should not be considered as a standard luma
signal.

Yes I noticed the framerate caps has no effect. But I lack some kind of 
reference system to decide what should work and what not.

Well, actually I am using Media Controller. But I need to configure it before 
gstreamer usage. There is no specific reason for gstreamer, but we use this to 
verify features on downstream kernel.

For completeness here is one of my media-ctl setup:
media-ctl -l "'ov9282 2-0060':0->'csis-32e30000.mipi-csi':0 [1]"
media-ctl -V "'ov9282 2-0060':0 [fmt:Y8_1X8/1280x720 field:none 
colorspace:raw]"
media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:Y8_1X8/1280x720 field:none colorspace:raw]"
v4l2-ctl -d0 --set-fmt-video 
width=1280,height=720,pixelformat='GREY',field=none
media-ctl -p

Mh, using v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=vertical_blanking=344 -d /dev/v4l-subdev2 I get 
109.61fps for 1280x800.

I admit I'm not fully sure which results are correct and what they are 
expected to be. But here are some results using the v4l-ctrl approach:
     | 1280x800 | 1280x720 | 640x400 |
-----+----------+----------+---------+
GREY |  68.84   |   72.0   |  73.50  |
Y10  |  57.37   |   60.0   |  73.50  |

All using their default vertical and horizontal blanking. Especially switching 
to 640x400 and then back to 1280x720 leaves the horizontal_blanking to the old 
(640) value, resulting in lower frame rates.

There is no ISP on imx8mm, so I'm stuck to CPU conversion for now, as OpenGL 
based conversion in gstreamer does not work currently, but that's a different 
matter (it does work downstream on imx8mp though).

Thanks for the hint about using GRAY16_LE and the explanations: I'm aware that 
there is more to configure, but right now I'm focusing on correct 
configuration and data transfer for the sensor data itself.

As per the docs link, raw sensors will be using the HBLANK and VBLANK
controls, not VIDIOC_S_PARM.
I don't know whether the GStreamer folks wish to add support to
v4l2src to set those - libcamerasrc is going to be the more normal
user of these sensors, but that generally means needing an ISP of some
form. With just v4l2src you've got no AE / AGC control loops, so it is
only of use in controlled lighting conditions.

I don't know the full details of the imx8 range, but believe the
libcamera folk were working with one of the imx8 platforms.

The sensor has an external clock signal (XVCLK) which can be between 6
and 27MHz. The driver only supports 24MHz. Is your module using a
24MHz clock?

IMHO This isn't clear in the docs.
My understanding is that controls shouldn't change value when changing
modes unless the new mode requires updating the range for the control
such that the current value is invalid. This does mean that the
framerate will change if you change modes without reprogramming, but
what heuristics should be used if you did update it? Options:
1) retain the current frame rate by recomputing VBLANK, but there will
be conditions where you can't achieve the same frame rate in all
modes.
2) reset to a default frame rate, but how do you define that? Do you
have to detect change of mode vs just calling S_FMT with the same
mode?
3) adjust the limits but otherwise leave the control alone.
4) as 3, but update the default value to reflect some standard
framerate (but how do you define that standard?)

Different sensors are currently doing different things, so the only
approach you can really take is for userspace to set the controls
explicitly after setting a mode.
Sakari will normally point to the CCS driver as a model for raw
sensors, and that appears to adopt option 3. There was a thread with
Jacopo recently over this same subject, but no resolution. I think it
was on the ar0521 patchset.

Clean boot and testing in this order:
- 1280x720 Y10P 63.05fps
- 1280x800 Y10P 60.28fps
- 640x400 Y10P 77.22fps
Reboot so that the HBLANK change is reset
- 1280x720 GREY 75.65fps
- 1280x800 GREY 72.33fps
- 640x400 GREY 92.67fps.

I don't believe your GREY 640x400 number as it's the same as your
640x400 Y10 value, but all your other values except 1280x800 Y10
differ from mine by a factor of 1.0507. (1280x800 Y10 is x1.099).
I'd suggest measuring your XVCLK clock signal with an oscilloscope or
frequency counter as I suspect it isn't 24MHz. 22.8MHz would give
these results, but is a slightly strange frequency if from a dedicated
oscillator rather than a PLL.
Adding support for additional XVCLK frequencies isn't a huge task, but
involves computing the internal PLL settings. My datasheet only gives
settings for 24MHz, so it'd be back to the basic principles of PLL
config to do it.

We have the i.MX8MP working with the ISP available on that variant. I
think we can also anticipate some support for other i.MX8 ranges with a
GPU based 'ISP' in the (nearish) future, but I don't know what the
timescales will be yet.

You are referring to (mainly) Paul Elder's patches to rkisp1, right? I noticed 
them, but didn't get a chance for testing.

I noticed that using 'glupload ! glcolorconvert ! glcolorscale ! 
glcolorconvert ! gldownload' in a gstreamer Pipeline for converting Y8/GREY to 
RGBA doesn't work, because mesa rejects creating appropriate EGL buffers due 
to lack of some hardware features.

I am aware that v4l2src is rather some raw accessor to cameras. What video 
format is libcamerasrc supposed to provide? Raw formats (Y8, bayer patterns) 
or already converted to RBGA etc.?

If an ISP is required then it will probably be imx8mp.

Well, I assume it is. We are using an OV9281 camera from vision components.

For 1280 the default horizontal_blanking is 250, but when changing to 640 the 
minimum also increased to 890. When switching back horizontal_blanking stays 
at 890, as it is still a valid value.

I'm not sure what is the best way to go, all options have different use cases 
in mind. At least one should be aware that some controls might change when 
switching modes.

I lack technical documentation for the camera hardware module, so I do not see 
a way to actually measuring XVCLK. AFAIK there is also an FPGA mounted which 
might affect the clock frequency as well.

Until things are more clear I would skip that for now as this module should be 
running on a 24 MHz, I assume.

Yes, that's right - but you can only test those on an i.MX8MP not an
i.MX8MM as I understand it.

I haven't looked into the gstreamer EGL side of things I'm afraid.

Yes, i.MX8MM does not have an ISP. Let's see if I get the chance to try on 
i.MX8MP.

No worries, I noticed that GPU on i.MX8MM, BTW the only one in i.MX8M series, 
does not support OpenGLES3 which might be the cause I'm stuck here. But I do 
not want to dig in that rabbit hole even further :)

It depends on the pipeline handler.
Raw streams will be the unprocessed images from the sensor, so
typically Bayer or mono.
Processed streams depend on the ISP capabilities, but generally YUV or RGB/RGBx.

Thank you - I happen to have one of those, so I can test. (I also have
OV9281 modules from InnoVision, Arducam, and possibly others).
Vision Components modules do have the joys of not being able to do a 16bit read.

Switching is the interesting part.
I had an annoyance trying to test variable HBLANK support on imx290
before libcamera supported it. libcamera (at least on the Pi) always
explicitly sets the mode when run, therefore the HBLANK I was setting
was always being reset due to s_fmt being called on the driver, hence
my comment above about detecting a change of mode or not.

Without any definition of the correct behaviour you find different
drivers do different things, and userspace has to handle all
parameters or suffer unexpected results :-(

Tested with my Vision Components OV9281, and I get identical numbers
to those above.

I've measured the output of the oscillator on my Vision Components
OV9281, and it is 24MHz.
The oscillator is the square silver package on the back of my module
by one of the screw holes. It is stamped U24 which would also indicate
24MHz. Holding the sensor with that silver component at the bottom
edge, the clock output is the top right pin of the package.

Unless yours is different for some reason, I'm out of ideas why you're
seeing different frame rates.

Okay, thanks for the information. I'll try at some time, but this sounds very 
promising.

Dealing with broken auto-increment read can be handled by this change. There 
was also some discussion with Laurent about a generic i2c DT property for 
adding this flag.

That's unfortunate, but if you know about this you can deal with it somehow.
While fiddling with the controls on this driver I noticed too there is no 
definite answer how you should set the blanks when switching modes, each 
approach has their pros and cons.
I used raw configuration until now, being unaware of libcamera doing all the 
necessary things.

Okay, that's nice. At least we know the sensor driver is doing things right.

Thanks, using this description I was able to verify mine is 24MHz (23.9-24.1) 
as well.

Can this be caused by something withing my platform (imx8mm) CSI-2 path which 
is different to yours?

I forgot that one from your patchset. I just removed the one read from

I fully acknowledge that writing documentation isn't the fun part of
development, and writing good documentation is hard.
However we do have a need. I'm trying to sort a basic checklist for
sensor drivers, but I have other priorities at present.

The only way I can think of for getting lower framerates out than
expected is dropping frames, so I'd suggest looking at timestamps.
Adding --verbose to the v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap.... line will print the
timestamp for each buffers, as well as the fps. Are the timestamp
deltas as expected, and are there any that are doubled due to a
dropped frame. If the timestamps are even at some other value then I'm
totally stumped!

Is your receiver correctly configured for whether it is expecting
continuous or non-continuous clock? That can sometimes cause the
receiver to get confused and corrupt data - I seem to recall having
issues with that on ov5647.
