Overview

The document below provide basical informations about the rockchip-isp1 driver driver and Image Signal Processing block on Rockchip SoC with examples and details.

ISP Details

Block diagram

The datasheet about ISP is currently only available under NDA, so we can't paste the completed block diagram from datasheet to here.

Below diagram is a abstract version:

Driver

rockchip-isp1 is a V4L2 based driver for Image Signal Processing block on Rockchip SoC. Compared to the earlier driver rk-isp10, it use Media Controller framework, which it's different from plain v4L2. While the plain v4L2 had a view of the device as a plain DMA based image drabber which connects the input data to the host memory, the Media Controller takes into consideration the fact that a typical video device might consist of multiple sub-devices 

Media Controller Basics

Please read below link carefully, especially if you don't have use it before.

Linux

User applications 

The applcation for plain v4L2 capture device still can be used(like gstreamer v4l2src plugins, v4l2ctl), but the media controller must be setup in a proper state before starting capture.
For your own applications for Video Capture with rockchip-isp1 driver, it should do things like thefollowing commands:

Gstreamer

Android
