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.
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
github <https://github.com/AspeedTech-BMC/openbmc/releases/>__.
The ASPEED video driver implements the following driver-specific control:
V4L2_CID_ASPEED_HQ_MODEEnable/Disable ASPEED's High quality mode. This is a private control
that can be used to enable high quality for aspeed proprietary mode.
.. flat-table:: :header-rows: 0 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 4
* - ``(0)``
- ASPEED HQ mode is disabled.
* - ``(1)``
- ASPEED HQ mode is enabled.
V4L2_CID_ASPEED_HQ_JPEG_QUALITYDefine the quality of ASPEED's High quality mode. This is a private control
that can be used to decide compression quality if High quality mode enabled
. Higher the value, better the quality and bigger the size.
.. flat-table:: :header-rows: 0 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 4
* - ``(1)``
- minimum
* - ``(12)``
- maximum
* - ``(1)``
- step
