2. uvc_probe
uvc_register_video
vdev = video_device_alloc();
vdev->fops = &uvc_fops;
video_register_device

通过VideoControl Interface来控制，
通过VideoStreaming Interface来读视频数据，
VC里含有多个Unit/Terminal等功能模块，可以通过访问这些模块进行控制，比如调亮度
分析UVC驱动调用过程：
const struct v4l2_file_operations uvc_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.open = uvc_v4l2_open,
.release = uvc_v4l2_release,
.ioctl = uvc_v4l2_ioctl,
.read = uvc_v4l2_read,
.mmap = uvc_v4l2_mmap,
.poll = uvc_v4l2_poll,
};
1. open:
uvc_v4l2_open
2. VIDIOC_QUERYCAP // video->streaming->type 应该是在设备被枚举时分析描述符时设置的
if (video->streaming->type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE)
cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE
| V4L2_CAP_STREAMING;
else
cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT
| V4L2_CAP_STREAMING;
3. VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT // format数组应是在设备被枚举时设置的
format = &video->streaming->format[fmt->index];
4. VIDIOC_G_FMT
uvc_v4l2_get_format // USB摄像头支持多种格式fromat, 每种格式下有多种frame(比如分辨率)
struct uvc_format *format = video->streaming->cur_format;
struct uvc_frame *frame = video->streaming->cur_frame;
5. VIDIOC_TRY_FMT
uvc_v4l2_try_format
/* Check if the hardware supports the requested format. */
/* Find the closest image size. The distance between image sizes is
* the size in pixels of the non-overlapping regions between the
* requested size and the frame-specified size.
*/
6. VIDIOC_S_FMT // 只是把参数保存起来，还没有发给USB摄像头
uvc_v4l2_set_format
uvc_v4l2_try_format
video->streaming->cur_format = format;
video->streaming->cur_frame = frame;
7. VIDIOC_REQBUFS
uvc_alloc_buffers
for (; nbuffers > 0; --nbuffers) {
mem = vmalloc_32(nbuffers * bufsize);
if (mem != NULL)
break;
}
8. VIDIOC_QUERYBUF
uvc_query_buffer
__uvc_query_buffer
memcpy(v4l2_buf, &buf->buf, sizeof *v4l2_buf); // 复制参数
9. mmap
uvc_v4l2_mmap
10. VIDIOC_QBUF
uvc_queue_buffer
list_add_tail(&buf->stream, &queue->mainqueue);
list_add_tail(&buf->queue, &queue->irqqueue);
11. VIDIOC_STREAMON
uvc_video_enable(video, 1) // 把所设置的参数发给硬件,然后启动摄像头
/* Commit the streaming parameters. */
uvc_commit_video
uvc_set_video_ctrl /* 设置格式fromat, frame */
ret = __uvc_query_ctrl(video->dev /* 哪一个USB设备 */, SET_CUR, 0,
video->streaming->intfnum /* 哪一个接口: VS */,
probe ? VS_PROBE_CONTROL : VS_COMMIT_CONTROL, data, size,
uvc_timeout_param);
/* 启动：Initialize isochronous/bulk URBs and allocate transfer buffers. */
uvc_init_video(video, GFP_KERNEL);
uvc_init_video_isoc / uvc_init_video_bulk
urb->complete = uvc_video_complete; (收到数据后此函数被调用,它又调用video->decode(urb, video, buf); ==> uvc_video_decode_isoc/uvc_video_encode_bulk => uvc_queue_next_buffer => wake_up(&buf->wait);)
usb_submit_urb
12. poll
uvc_v4l2_poll
uvc_queue_poll
poll_wait(file, &buf->wait, wait); // 休眠等待有数据
13. VIDIOC_DQBUF
uvc_dequeue_buffer
list_del(&buf->stream);
14. VIDIOC_STREAMOFF
uvc_video_enable(video, 0);
usb_kill_urb(urb);
usb_free_urb(urb);
分析设置亮度过程：
ioctl: VIDIOC_S_CTRL
uvc_ctrl_set
uvc_ctrl_commit
__uvc_ctrl_commit(video, 0);
uvc_ctrl_commit_entity(video->dev, entity, rollback);
ret = uvc_query_ctrl(dev /* 哪一个USB设备 */, SET_CUR, ctrl->entity->id /* 哪一个unit/terminal */,
dev->intfnum /* 哪一个接口: VC interface */, ctrl->info->selector,
uvc_ctrl_data(ctrl, UVC_CTRL_DATA_CURRENT),
ctrl->info->size);
总结：
1. UVC设备有2个interface: VideoControl Interface, VideoStreaming Interface
2. VideoControl Interface用于控制，比如设置亮度。它内部有多个Unit/Terminal(在程序里Unit/Terminal都称为entity)
可以通过类似的函数来访问：
ret = uvc_query_ctrl(dev /* 哪一个USB设备 */, SET_CUR, ctrl->entity->id /* 哪一个unit/terminal */,
dev->intfnum /* 哪一个接口: VC interface */, ctrl->info->selector,
uvc_ctrl_data(ctrl, UVC_CTRL_DATA_CURRENT),
ctrl->info->size);
3. VideoStreaming Interface用于获得视频数据，也可以用来选择fromat/frame(VS可能有多种format, 一个format支持多种frame， frame用来表示分辨率等信息)
可以通过类似的函数来访问：
ret = __uvc_query_ctrl(video->dev /* 哪一个USB设备 */, SET_CUR, 0,
video->streaming->intfnum /* 哪一个接口: VS */,
probe ? VS_PROBE_CONTROL : VS_COMMIT_CONTROL, data, size,
uvc_timeout_param);
4. 我们在设置FORMAT时只是简单的使用video->streaming->format[fmt->index]等数据，
这些数据哪来的？
应是设备被枚举时设置的，也就是分析它的描述符时设置的。
5. UVC驱动的重点在于：
描述符的分析
属性的控制: 通过VideoControl Interface来设置
格式的选择：通过VideoStreaming Interface来设置
数据的获得：通过VideoStreaming Interface的URB来获得
