That data includes +exact copies of the standard part of UVC Payload Header contents and auxiliary +timing information, required for precise interpretation of timestamps, contained +in those headers. See section "2.4.3.3 Video and Still Image Payload Headers" of +the "UVC 1.5 Class specification" for details. + +Each UVC payload header can be between 2 and 12 bytes large. Buffers can +contain multiple headers, if multiple such headers have been transmitted by the +camera for the respective frame. However, the driver may drop headers when the +buffer is full, when they contain no useful information (e.g. those without the +SCR field or with that field identical to the previous header), or generally to +perform rate limiting when the device sends a large number of headers. + +Each individual block contains the following fields: + +.. flat-table:: UVC Metadata Block + :widths: 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + :stub-columns: 0 + + * - Field + - Description + * - __u64 ts; + - system timestamp in host byte order, measured by the driver upon + reception of the payload + * - __u16 sof; + - USB Frame Number in host byte order, also obtained by the driver as + close as possible to the above timestamp to enable correlation between + them + * - :cspan:`1` *The rest is an exact copy of the UVC payload header:* + * - __u8 length; + - length of the rest of the block, including this field + * - __u8 flags; + - Flags, indicating presence of other standard UVC fields + * - __u8 buf[]; + - The rest of the header, possibly including UVC PTS and SCR fields diff --git a/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c b/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c index 3937945b12dc..1d7c2ea78c3e 100644 --- a/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c +++ b/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c @@ -1250,6 +1250,7 @@ static void v4l_fill_fmtdesc(struct v4l2_fmtdesc *fmt) case V4L2_TCH_FMT_TU08: descr = "8-bit unsigned touch data"; break; case V4L2_META_FMT_VSP1_HGO: descr = "R-Car VSP1 1-D Histogram"; break; case V4L2_META_FMT_VSP1_HGT: descr = "R-Car VSP1 2-D Histogram"; break; + case V4L2_META_FMT_UVC: descr = "UVC payload header metadata"; break; default: /* Compressed formats */ diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h b/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h index b26160e0b483..faa97fda588a 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h @@ -694,6 +694,7 @@ struct v4l2_pix_format { /* Meta-data formats */ #define V4L2_META_FMT_VSP1_HGO v4l2_fourcc('V', 'S', 'P', 'H') /* R-Car VSP1 1-D Histogram */ #define V4L2_META_FMT_VSP1_HGT v4l2_fourcc('V', 'S', 'P', 'T') /* R-Car VSP1 2-D Histogram */ +#define V4L2_META_FMT_UVC v4l2_fourcc('U', 'V', 'C', 'H') /* UVC Payload Header metadata */ /* priv field value to indicates that subsequent fields are valid. */ #define V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC 0xfeedcafe |
