SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +.. include:: + +ASPEED video driver +=================== + +ASPEED Video Engine found on AST2400/2500/2600 SoC supports high performance +video compressions with a wide range of video quality and compression ratio +options. The adopted compressing algorithm is a modified JPEG algorithm. + +There are 2 types of compressions in this IP. + +* JPEG JFIF standard mode: for single frame and management compression +* ASPEED proprietary mode: for multi-frame and differential compression. + Support 2-pass (high quality) video compression scheme (Patent pending by + ASPEED). Provide visually lossless video compression quality or to reduce + the network average loading under intranet KVM applications. + +VIDIOC_S_FMT can be used to choose which format you want. V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG +stands for JPEG JFIF standard mode; V4L2_PIX_FMT_AJPG stands for ASPEED +proprietary mode. + +More details on the ASPEED video hardware operations can be found in +*chapter 6.2.16 KVM Video Driver* of SDK_User_Guide which available on +AspeedTech-BMC/openbmc/releases. + +The ASPEED video driver implements the following driver-specific control: + +``V4L2_CID_ASPEED_HQ_MODE`` +--------------------------- + Enable/Disable ASPEED's High quality mode.
