1 Introduction

The DRA7xxx family of System-on-Chips (SoCs) have Video Input Port (VIP) as one of the essential module used for video capture in automotive use cases. The processor SDK supports a few cameras out of the box on the DRA7xx EVMs, but depending on the customer need, different cameras need to be integrated with the DRA7xx SoCs. Sometimes, the video that needs to be captured may not be directly from a camera; it may be the output of an analog video decoder or an HDMI receiver as well.

The VIP driver supports different types of cameras:

  • Parallel port cameras with discrete sync signals
  • BT656 video with embedded sync signals
  • 8-bit/16-bit YUV video
  • 24-bit RGB video
  • Multiple video sources time multiplexed embedded sync video
