 Linux UVC Gadget Driver
 =======================

 Overview
 --------
 The UVC Gadget driver is a driver for hardware on the *device* side of a USB
 connection. It is intended to run on a Linux system that has USB device-side
 hardware such as boards with an OTG port.

 On the device system, once the driver is bound it appears as a V4L2 device with
 the output capability.

 On the host side (once connected via USB cable), a device running the UVC Gadget
 driver *and controlled by an appropriate userspace program* should appear as a UVC
 specification compliant camera, and function appropriately with any program
 designed to handle them. The userspace program running on the device system can
 queue image buffers from a variety of sources to be transmitted via the USB
 connection. Typically this would mean forwarding the buffers from a camera sensor
 peripheral, but the source of the buffer is entirely dependent on the userspace
 companion program.

 Configuring the device kernel
 -----------------------------
 The Kconfig options USB_CONFIGFS, USB_LIBCOMPOSITE, USB_CONFIGFS_F_UVC and
 USB_F_UVC must be selected to enable support for the UVC gadget.

 Configuring the gadget through configfs
 ---------------------------------------
 The UVC Gadget expects to be configured through configfs using the UVC function.
 This allows a significant degree of flexibility, as many of a UVC device's
 settings can be controlled this way.

 Not all of the available attributes are described here. For a complete enumeration
 see Documentation/ABI/testing/configfs-usb-gadget-uvc

 Assumptions
 ~~~~~~~~~~~
 This section assumes that you have mounted configfs at `/sys/kernel/config` and
 created a gadget as `/sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g1`.

 The UVC Function
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The first step is to create the UVC function:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	# These variables will be assumed throughout the rest of the document
 	CONFIGFS="/sys/kernel/config"
 	GADGET="$CONFIGFS/usb_gadget/g1"
 	FUNCTION="$GADGET/functions/uvc.0"

 	mkdir -p $FUNCTION

 Formats and Frames
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 You must configure the gadget by telling it which formats you support, as well
 as the frame sizes and frame intervals that are supported for each format. In
 the current implementation there is no way for the gadget to refuse to set a
 format that the host instructs it to set, so it is important that this step is
 completed *accurately* to ensure that the host never asks for a format that
 can't be provided.

 Formats are created under the streaming/uncompressed and streaming/mjpeg configfs
 groups, with the framesizes created under the formats in the following
 structure:

 ::

 	uvc.0 +
 	      |
 	      + streaming +
 			  |
 			  + mjpeg +
 			  |       |
 			  |       + mjpeg +
 			  |	       |
 			  |	       + 720p
 			  |	       |
 			  |	       + 1080p
 			  |
 			  + uncompressed +
 					 |
 					 + yuyv +
 						|
 						+ 720p
 						|
 						+ 1080p

 Each frame can then be configured with a width and height, plus the maximum
 buffer size required to store a single frame, and finally with the supported
 frame intervals for that format and framesize. Width and height are enumerated in
 units of pixels, frame interval in units of 100ns. To create the structure
 above with 2, 15 and 100 fps frameintervals for each framesize for example you
 might do:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	create_frame() {
 		# Example usage:
 		# create_frame <width> <height> <group> <format name>

 		WIDTH=$1
 		HEIGHT=$2
 		FORMAT=$3
 		NAME=$4

 		wdir=$FUNCTION/streaming/$FORMAT/$NAME/${HEIGHT}p

 		mkdir -p $wdir
 		echo $WIDTH > $wdir/wWidth
 		echo $HEIGHT > $wdir/wHeight
 		echo $(( $WIDTH * $HEIGHT * 2 )) > $wdir/dwMaxVideoFrameBufferSize
 		cat <<EOF > $wdir/dwFrameInterval
 	666666
 	100000
 	5000000
 	EOF
 	}

 	create_frame 1280 720 mjpeg mjpeg
 	create_frame 1920 1080 mjpeg mjpeg
 	create_frame 1280 720 uncompressed yuyv
 	create_frame 1920 1080 uncompressed yuyv

 The only uncompressed format currently supported is YUYV, which is detailed at
 Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/pixfmt-packed.yuv.rst.

 Color Matching Descriptors
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 It's possible to specify some colometry information for each format you create.
 This step is optional, and default information will be included if this step is
 skipped; those default values follow those defined in the Color Matching Descriptor
 section of the UVC specification.

 To create a Color Matching Descriptor, create a configfs item and set its three
 attributes to your desired settings and then link to it from the format you wish
 it to be associated with:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	# Create a new Color Matching Descriptor

 	mkdir $FUNCTION/streaming/color_matching/yuyv
 	pushd $FUNCTION/streaming/color_matching/yuyv

 	echo 1 > bColorPrimaries
 	echo 1 > bTransferCharacteristics
 	echo 4 > bMatrixCoefficients

 	popd

 	# Create a symlink to the Color Matching Descriptor from the format's config item
 	ln -s $FUNCTION/streaming/color_matching/yuyv $FUNCTION/streaming/uncompressed/yuyv

 For details about the valid values, consult the UVC specification. Note that a
 default color matching descriptor exists and is used by any format which does
 not have a link to a different Color Matching Descriptor. It's possible to
 change the attribute settings for the default descriptor, so bear in mind that if
 you do that you are altering the defaults for any format that does not link to
 a different one.


 Header linking
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The UVC specification requires that Format and Frame descriptors be preceded by
 Headers detailing things such as the number and cumulative size of the different
 Format descriptors that follow. This and similar operations are achieved in
 configfs by linking between the configfs item representing the header and the
 config items representing those other descriptors, in this manner:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	mkdir $FUNCTION/streaming/header/h

 	# This section links the format descriptors and their associated frames
 	# to the header
 	cd $FUNCTION/streaming/header/h
 	ln -s ../../uncompressed/yuyv
 	ln -s ../../mjpeg/mjpeg

 	# This section ensures that the header will be transmitted for each
 	# speed's set of descriptors. If support for a particular speed is not
 	# needed then it can be skipped here.
 	cd ../../class/fs
 	ln -s ../../header/h
 	cd ../../class/hs
 	ln -s ../../header/h
 	cd ../../class/ss
 	ln -s ../../header/h
 	cd ../../../control
 	mkdir header/h
 	ln -s header/h class/fs
 	ln -s header/h class/ss


 Extension Unit Support
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 A UVC Extension Unit (XU) basically provides a distinct unit to which control set
 and get requests can be addressed. The meaning of those control requests is
 entirely implementation dependent, but may be used to control settings outside
 of the UVC specification (for example enabling or disabling video effects). An
 XU can be inserted into the UVC unit chain or left free-hanging.

 Configuring an extension unit involves creating an entry in the appropriate
 directory and setting its attributes appropriately, like so:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	mkdir $FUNCTION/control/extensions/xu.0
 	pushd $FUNCTION/control/extensions/xu.0

 	# Set the bUnitID of the Processing Unit as the source for this
 	# Extension Unit
 	echo 2 > baSourceID

 	# Set this XU as the source of the default output terminal. This inserts
 	# the XU into the UVC chain between the PU and OT such that the final
 	# chain is IT > PU > XU.0 > OT
 	cat bUnitID > ../../terminal/output/default/baSourceID

 	# Flag some controls as being available for use. The bmControl field is
 	# a bitmap with each bit denoting the availability of a particular
 	# control. For example to flag the 0th, 2nd and 3rd controls available:
 	echo 0x0d > bmControls

 	# Set the GUID; this is a vendor-specific code identifying the XU.
 	echo -e -n "\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\x09\x0a\x0b\x0c\x0d\x0e\x0f\x10" > guidExtensionCode

 	popd

 The bmControls attribute and the baSourceID attribute are multi-value attributes.
 This means that you may write multiple newline separated values to them. For
 example to flag the 1st, 2nd, 9th and 10th controls as being available you would
 need to write two values to bmControls, like so:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	cat << EOF > bmControls
 	0x03
 	0x03
 	EOF

 The multi-value nature of the baSourceID attribute belies the fact that XUs can
 be multiple-input, though note that this currently has no significant effect.

 The bControlSize attribute reflects the size of the bmControls attribute, and
 similarly bNrInPins reflects the size of the baSourceID attributes. Both
 attributes are automatically increased / decreased as you set bmControls and
 baSourceID. It is also possible to manually increase or decrease bControlSize
 which has the effect of truncating entries to the new size, or padding entries
 out with 0x00, for example:

 ::

 	$ cat bmControls
 	0x03
 	0x05

 	$ cat bControlSize
 	2

 	$ echo 1 > bControlSize
 	$ cat bmControls
 	0x03

 	$ echo 2 > bControlSize
 	$ cat bmControls
 	0x03
 	0x00

 bNrInPins and baSourceID function in the same way.

 Configuring Supported Controls for Camera Terminal and Processing Unit
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The Camera Terminal and Processing Units in the UVC chain also have bmControls
 attributes which function similarly to the same field in an Extension Unit.
 Unlike XUs however, the meaning of the bitflag for these units is defined in
 the UVC specification; you should consult the "Camera Terminal Descriptor" and
 "Processing Unit Descriptor" sections for an enumeration of the flags.

 .. code-block:: bash

         # Set the Processing Unit's bmControls, flagging Brightness, Contrast
         # and Hue as available controls:
         echo 0x05 > $FUNCTION/control/processing/default/bmControls

         # Set the Camera Terminal's bmControls, flagging Focus Absolute and
         # Focus Relative as available controls:
         echo 0x60 > $FUNCTION/control/terminal/camera/default/bmControls

 If you do not set these fields then by default the Auto-Exposure Mode control
 for the Camera Terminal and the Brightness control for the Processing Unit will
 be flagged as available; if they are not supported you should set the field to
 0x00.

 Note that the size of the bmControls field for a Camera Terminal or Processing
 Unit is fixed by the UVC specification, and so the bControlSize attribute is
 read-only here.

 Custom Strings Support
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 String descriptors that provide a textual description for various parts of a
 USB device can be defined in the usual place within USB configfs, and may then
 be linked to from the UVC function root or from Extension Unit directories to
 assign those strings as descriptors:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	# Create a string descriptor in us-EN and link to it from the function
 	# root. The name of the link is significant here, as it declares this
 	# descriptor to be intended for the Interface Association Descriptor.
 	# Other significant link names at function root are vs0_desc and vs1_desc
 	# For the VideoStreaming Interface 0/1 Descriptors.

 	mkdir -p $GADGET/strings/0x409/iad_desc
 	echo -n "Interface Associaton Descriptor" > $GADGET/strings/0x409/iad_desc/s
 	ln -s $GADGET/strings/0x409/iad_desc $FUNCTION/iad_desc

 	# Because the link to a String Descriptor from an Extension Unit clearly
 	# associates the two, the name of this link is not significant and may
 	# be set freely.

 	mkdir -p $GADGET/strings/0x409/xu.0
 	echo -n "A Very Useful Extension Unit" > $GADGET/strings/0x409/xu.0/s
 	ln -s $GADGET/strings/0x409/xu.0 $FUNCTION/control/extensions/xu.0

 The interrupt endpoint
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The VideoControl interface has an optional interrupt endpoint which is by default
 disabled. This is intended to support delayed response control set requests for
 UVC (which should respond through the interrupt endpoint rather than tying up
 endpoint 0). At present support for sending data through this endpoint is missing
 and so it is left disabled to avoid confusion. If you wish to enable it you can
 do so through the configfs attribute:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	echo 1 > $FUNCTION/control/enable_interrupt_ep

 Bandwidth configuration
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 There are three attributes which control the bandwidth of the USB connection.
 These live in the function root and can be set within limits:

 .. code-block:: bash

 	# streaming_interval sets bInterval. Values range from 1..255
 	echo 1 > $FUNCTION/streaming_interval

 	# streaming_maxpacket sets wMaxPacketSize. Valid values are 1024/2048/3072
 	echo 3072 > $FUNCTION/streaming_maxpacket

 	# streaming_maxburst sets bMaxBurst. Valid values are 1..15
 	echo 1 > $FUNCTION/streaming_maxburst


 The values passed here will be clamped to valid values according to the UVC
 specification (which depend on the speed of the USB connection). To understand
 how the settings influence bandwidth you should consult the UVC specifications,
 but a rule of thumb is that increasing the streaming_maxpacket setting will
 improve bandwidth (and thus the maximum possible framerate), whilst the same is
 true for streaming_maxburst provided the USB connection is running at SuperSpeed.
 Increasing streaming_interval will reduce bandwidth and framerate.

 The userspace application
 -------------------------
 By itself, the UVC Gadget driver cannot do anything particularly interesting. It
 must be paired with a userspace program that responds to UVC control requests and
 fills buffers to be queued to the V4L2 device that the driver creates. How those
 things are achieved is implementation dependent and beyond the scope of this
 document, but a reference application can be found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/uvc-gadget

	true for streaming_maxburst provided the USB connection is running at SuperSpeed.
	Increasing streaming_interval will reduce bandwidth and framerate.

	The userspace application
	-------------------------
	By itself, the UVC Gadget driver cannot do anything particularly interesting. It
	must be paired with a userspace program that responds to UVC control requests and
	fills buffers to be queued to the V4L2 device that the driver creates. How those
	things are achieved is implementation dependent and beyond the scope of this
	document, but a reference application can be found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/uvc-gadget
