| Allwinner A10 Display Pipeline |
| ============================== |
| |
| The Allwinner A10 Display pipeline is composed of several components |
| that are going to be documented below: |
| |
| For all connections between components up to the TCONs in the display |
| pipeline, when there are multiple components of the same type at the |
| same depth, the local endpoint ID must be the same as the remote |
| component's index. For example, if the remote endpoint is Frontend 1, |
| then the local endpoint ID must be 1. |
| |
| Frontend 0 [0] ------- [0] Backend 0 [0] ------- [0] TCON 0 |
| [1] -- -- [1] [1] -- -- [1] |
| \ / \ / |
| X X |
| / \ / \ |
| [0] -- -- [0] [0] -- -- [0] |
| Frontend 1 [1] ------- [1] Backend 1 [1] ------- [1] TCON 1 |
| |
| For a two pipeline system such as the one depicted above, the lines |
| represent the connections between the components, while the numbers |
| within the square brackets corresponds to the ID of the local endpoint. |
| |
| The same rule also applies to DE 2.0 mixer-TCON connections: |
| |
| Mixer 0 [0] ----------- [0] TCON 0 |
| [1] ---- ---- [1] |
| \ / |
| X |
| / \ |
| [0] ---- ---- [0] |
| Mixer 1 [1] ----------- [1] TCON 1 |
| |

| |
| The HDMI Encoder supports the HDMI video and audio outputs, and does |
| CEC. It is one end of the pipeline. |

| |
| TCON |
| ---- |
| |
| The TCON acts as a timing controller for RGB, LVDS and TV interfaces. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - compatible: value must be either: |
| * allwinner,sun4i-a10-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun5i-a13-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun6i-a31-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun6i-a31s-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun7i-a20-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun8i-a33-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun8i-a83t-tcon-lcd |
| * allwinner,sun8i-a83t-tcon-tv |
| * allwinner,sun8i-v3s-tcon |
| * allwinner,sun9i-a80-tcon-lcd |
| * allwinner,sun9i-a80-tcon-tv |
| - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region |
| - interrupts: interrupt associated to this IP |
| - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the TCON. |
| - 'ahb': the interface clocks |
| - 'tcon-ch0': The clock driving the TCON channel 0, if supported |
| - resets: phandles to the reset controllers driving the encoder |
| - "lcd": the reset line for the TCON |
| - "edp": the reset line for the eDP block (A80 only) |
| |
| - clock-names: the clock names mentioned above |
| - reset-names: the reset names mentioned above |
| - clock-output-names: Name of the pixel clock created, if TCON supports |
| channel 0. |
| |
| - ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in |
| Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The |
| first port should be the input endpoint, the second one the output |
| |
| The output may have multiple endpoints. TCON can have 1 or 2 channels, |
| usually with the first channel being used for the panels interfaces |
| (RGB, LVDS, etc.), and the second being used for the outputs that |
| require another controller (TV Encoder, HDMI, etc.). The endpoints |
| will take an extra property, allwinner,tcon-channel, to specify the |
| channel the endpoint is associated to. If that property is not |
| present, the endpoint number will be used as the channel number. |
| |
| For TCONs with channel 0, there is one more clock required: |
| - 'tcon-ch0': The clock driving the TCON channel 0 |
| For TCONs with channel 1, there is one more clock required: |
| - 'tcon-ch1': The clock driving the TCON channel 1 |
| |
| When TCON support LVDS (all TCONs except TV TCON on A83T and those found |
| in A13, H3, H5 and V3s SoCs), you need one more reset line: |
| - 'lvds': The reset line driving the LVDS logic |
| |
| And on the A23, A31, A31s and A33, you need one more clock line: |
| - 'lvds-alt': An alternative clock source, separate from the TCON channel 0 |
| clock, that can be used to drive the LVDS clock |
| |
