^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) Description
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) ===========
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) These ioctls can be used to get or set an EDID associated with an input
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) from a receiver or an output of a transmitter device. They can be used
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) with subdevice nodes (/dev/v4l-subdevX) or with video nodes
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) (/dev/videoX).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51) When used with video nodes the ``pad`` field represents the input (for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) video capture devices) or output (for video output devices) index as is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) returned by :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54) :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` respectively. When used
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) with subdevice nodes the ``pad`` field represents the input or output
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56) pad of the subdevice. If there is no EDID support for the given ``pad``
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) value, then the ``EINVAL`` error code will be returned.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) To get the EDID data the application has to fill in the ``pad``,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) ``start_block``, ``blocks`` and ``edid`` fields, zero the ``reserved``
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) array and call :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EDID <VIDIOC_G_EDID>`. The current EDID from block
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62) ``start_block`` and of size ``blocks`` will be placed in the memory
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) ``edid`` points to. The ``edid`` pointer must point to memory at least
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) ``blocks`` * 128 bytes large (the size of one block is 128 bytes).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66) If there are fewer blocks than specified, then the driver will set
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) ``blocks`` to the actual number of blocks. If there are no EDID blocks
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68) available at all, then the error code ``ENODATA`` is set.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70) If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) until they have been read.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73) If ``start_block`` and ``blocks`` are both set to 0 when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 74) :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EDID <VIDIOC_G_EDID>` is called, then the driver will set ``blocks`` to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 75) total number of available EDID blocks and it will return 0 without
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 76) copying any data. This is an easy way to discover how many EDID blocks
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 77) there are.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 78)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 79) .. note::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) the driver will set ``blocks`` to 0 and it returns 0.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 85) ``pad``, ``blocks`` and ``edid`` fields, set ``start_block`` to 0 and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 86) zero the ``reserved`` array. It is not possible to set part of an EDID,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87) it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 88) receivers as it makes no sense for a transmitter.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 89)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 90) The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 91) EDID blocks than the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 92) but instead the error code ``E2BIG`` is set and ``blocks`` is set to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 93) maximum that the hardware supports. If ``start_block`` is any value
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 94) other than 0 then the error code ``EINVAL`` is set.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 95)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 96) To disable an EDID you set ``blocks`` to 0. Depending on the hardware
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 97) this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 98) the EDID data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 99) EDID is no longer available.
