[PATCH v3 1/7] drm/fourcc: Add modifier definitions for describing Amlogic Video Framebuffer Compression

Neil Armstrong narmstrong at baylibre.com
Tue Mar 24 14:20:10 UTC 2020


Amlogic uses a proprietary lossless image compression protocol and format
for their hardware video codec accelerators, either video decoders or
video input encoders.

It considerably reduces memory bandwidth while writing and reading
frames in memory.

The underlying storage is considered to be 3 components, 8bit or 10-bit
per component, YCbCr 420, single plane :
- DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT
- DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_10BIT

This modifier will be notably added to DMA-BUF frames imported from the V4L2
Amlogic VDEC decoder.

This introduces the basic layout composed of:
- a body content organized in 64x32 superblocks with 4096 bytes per
  superblock in default mode.
- a 32 bytes per 128x64 header block

This layout is tranferrable between Amlogic SoCs supporting this modifier.
