DaVinci GIT Linux Kernel

From Texas Instruments Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

NOTE
This page tracks the status of major subsystem support in mainline kernel (Linus Torvalds's tree). This does not indicate status of any TI release which often contains more functionality which may not have been accepted (or even submitted) upstream yet.


Overview[edit]

The Linux support for the DaVinci family of processors is maintained in the linux-davinci GIT tree. Patches are sent upstream from this tree to the mainline (Linus') kernel regularly. This topic describes what is in the DaVinci kernel tree and corresponding status for each device and/or peripheral.

Conventions[edit]

The sections below cover the major subsystems of the SoCs. A simple color-coding indicates the status, using the following approximate definitions:

  • Red - not functional
  • Yellow - functional, but incomplete or known bugs
  • Green - functional, only minor bugs, if any
  • Gray - not applicable

In addition, there is a column labeled "Mainline" which indicates how close the code is to being ready for acceptance in the mainline kernel.

  • Red - lots of cleanup needed and/or no one working on it
  • Yellow - cleanup needed but somebody is working on it
  • Green - either ready to be submitted or already in mainline


Boards[edit]

The following boards are used for development and testing by TI.

mach-davinci[edit]

The base level support for the DaVinci processors is in the arch/arm/mach-davinci directory, currently with support for DM644x, DM355, and DM6467.

Status[edit]

To Do[edit]

Ethernet[edit]

Most DaVinci SoCs have an on-chip Ethernet MAC (exceptions are DM355).

DM355 uses the dm9000 driver from the kernel mainline.

Video Capture[edit]

On DM644x, DM355 and DM365, Video Capture is handled by Video Peripheral Front End (VPFE) and CCDC. CCDC is interfaced with decoders - TVP514x and/or TVP7002 for SD/HD capture. It is also interfaced with Imagers (Camera) for raw capture. On DM6467 and DA850/OMAP-L138, Video capture is handled by Video Port Interface (VPIF), which interfaces with decoders - TVP514x and TVP7002.
