Looking at ppt from Robert , it seems v4l2 subdevices is the way to support different devices that may be involved in imaging processing chain, also from the ppt it seems a userside library for Media controller is needed particular to each platform which controls these subdevices.I have not been ab

In the reference architecture in ppt, we can directly wait for the RSZ interrupt, if we configure the hardware pipe. It was my mis-understanding as each of those hardware blocks can deliver interrupts too. In that way ARM needs to just work at finished frame, like forward it to the display or co

Arnd, you are correct that omx and v4l2 sit at different levels one being userside API and other being kernel API.But from the point of view of integrating these API's in OS frameworks like gstreamer,Android camera service they are at the same level.I mean one will have to implement gstreamer s
