<para>For driver debugging purposes this ioctl allows test
|
|
applications to query the driver about the chips present on the TV
|
|
card. Regular applications must not use it. When you found a chip
|
|
specific bug, please contact the linux-media mailing list (&v4l-ml;)
|
|
so it can be fixed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To query the driver applications must initialize the
|
|
<structfield>match.type</structfield> and
|
|
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> or <structfield>match.name</structfield>
|
|
fields of a &v4l2-dbg-chip-ident;
|
|
and call <constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> with a pointer to
|
|
this structure. On success the driver stores information about the
|
|
selected chip in the <structfield>ident</structfield> and
|
|
<structfield>revision</structfield> fields. On failure the structure
|
|
remains unchanged.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
|
|
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_HOST</constant>,
|
|
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth non-&i2c; chip
|
|
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
|
|
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.
|
|
The number zero always selects the host chip, ⪚ the chip connected
|
|
to the PCI or USB bus.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
|
|
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_DRIVER</constant>,
|
|
<structfield>match.name</structfield> contains the I2C driver name.
|
|
For instance
|
|
<constant>"saa7127"</constant> will match any chip
|
|
supported by the saa7127 driver, regardless of its &i2c; bus address.
|
|
When multiple chips supported by the same driver are present, the
|
|
ioctl will return <constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant> in the
|
|
<structfield>ident</structfield> field.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
|
|
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_ADDR</constant>,
|
|
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects a chip by its 7 bit
|
|
&i2c; bus address.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
|
|
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_AC97</constant>,
|
|
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth AC97 chip
|
|
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
|
|
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, the <structfield>ident</structfield> field will
|
|
contain a chip ID from the Linux
|
|
<filename>media/v4l2-chip-ident.h</filename> header file, and the
|
|
<structfield>revision</structfield> field will contain a driver
|
|
specific value, or zero if no particular revision is associated with
|
|
this chip.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the driver could not identify the selected chip,
|
|
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
|
|
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_UNKNOWN</constant>. When no chip matched
|
|
the ioctl will succeed but the
|
|
<structfield>ident</structfield> field will contain
|
|
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_NONE</constant>. If multiple chips matched,
|
|
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
|
|
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant>. In all these cases the
|
|
<structfield>revision</structfield> field remains unchanged.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This ioctl is optional, not all drivers may support it. It
|
|
was introduced in Linux 2.6.21, but the API was changed to the
|
|
one described here in 2.6.29.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>We recommended the <application>v4l2-dbg</application>
|
|
utility over calling this ioctl directly. It is available from the
|
|
LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository; see <ulink
|
|
url="http://linuxtv.org/repo/">http://linuxtv.org/repo/</ulink> for
|
