# Allwinner CSI Driver with DVP & MIPI-CSI2 for Mainline Linux 5.4
### CSI driver based on Mainline SUN6I-CSI

## Install

### Put all file in "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-csi"

### Add source to "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/Kconfig"
```
source "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-csi/Kconfig"
```
Demo
```

config VIDEO_SUNXI
	bool "Allwinner sunXi family Video Devices"
	depends on ARCH_SUNXI || COMPILE_TEST
	help
	  If you have an Allwinner SoC based on the sunXi family, say Y.

	  Note that this option doesn't include new drivers in the
	  kernel: saying N will just cause Kconfig to skip all the
	  questions about Allwinner media devices.

if VIDEO_SUNXI

source "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/cedrus/Kconfig"
source "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-csi/Kconfig"

endif
```

### Add obj to "drivers/staging/media/sunxi/Makefile"
```
obj-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_SUN6I_MIPI_CSI) += sun6i-csi/
```

## Compile
### Enable Driver in 
```
> Device Drivers > Staging drivers > Media staging drivers
[*]   Allwinner sunXi family Video Devices
<*>   Allwinner V3s Camera Sensor Interface driver with MIPI-CSI2 support
```
... and here we go.

## Test
```
media-ctl --set-v4l2 '5:0[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1920x1080@1/15]'
fswebcam -S 5 -d /dev/video0 -p YUV420P -r 1920x1080 test.jpg
```
