18.5. Scaler IP Software API

The IP includes software for run-time control. The IP does not fit any of the generic device models provided by the Nios II HAL and it exposes a set of dedicated accessors to the control and status registers. The IP driver structure inherits the base driver structure so all common methods defined in Video and Vision Processing IPs Software API are applicable.

Register definition header file: intel_vvp_scaler_regs.h

Include file: intel_vvp_scaler.h

intel_vvp_scaler_set_quantized_coeffs

Prototype 
 int intel_vvp_scaler_set_quantized_coeffs(intel_vvp_scaler_instance* instance, bool h_coeffs, const int32_t* quantized_coeffs, uint8_t num_coeffs, uint8_t bank, uint8_t phase);
Description

Programs the IP with a new set of num_coeffs coefficients for the specified horizontal or vertical phase in the specified bank of coefficients. An error is returned if the IP is not properly configured to use these coefficients. The num_coeffs parameter indicates the guaranteed minimum size of the quantized_coeffs array and must match with the number of horizontal or vertical taps as appropriate. Also, the call checks for correctness of the quantized values and will return an error if invalid bits are set. Sign extension to the full 32 bit range is accepted. Quantization errors do not prevent the coefficients from being updated

Arguments

instance – pointer to the intel_vvp_scaler_instance software driver instance structure

h_coeffs – true if committing a set of horizontal coefficients, false for a set of vertical coefficients

quantized_coeffs – pointer to the structure containing the quantized coefficients

num_coeffs – the number of horizontal taps if h_coeffs is true, otherwise the number of vertical taps. The caller guarantees that the quantized_coeffs array is larger than the specified number of values

bank – the bank of coefficients used to commit the new set

phase – the phase for the set of new coefficients

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk in case of success, negative error code otherwise

kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr if the instance is invalid, or not configured for horizontal/vertical polyphase scaling and run-time loading of coefficients

kIntelVvpScalerParameterErr if the phase, bank or number of coefficients are invalid for the IP configuration

kIntelVvpCoreNullPtrErr if quantized_coeffs is a NULL pointer

kIntelVvpScalerQuantizationErr if the quantized coefficients are out-of-range (this does not prevent the coefficients update)

Prototype 
 int intel_vvp_scaler_set_coeffs(intel_vvp_scaler_instance* instance, bool h_coeffs, const float* quantized_coeffs, uint8_t num_coeffs, uint8_t bank, uint8_t phase);
Description

Programs the IP with a new set of num_coeffs coefficients for the specified horizontal or vertical phase in the specified bank of coefficients. Coefficients are quantized using the fixed-point configuration reported by the IP. An error is returned if the IP is not properly configured to use these coefficients. The num_coeffs parameter indicates the guaranteed minimum size of the coeffs array and must match with the number of horizontal or vertical taps as appropriate. An error is returned if the quantization could not be achieved successfully.

Arguments

instance – pointer to the intel_vvp_scaler_instance software driver instance structure

h_coeffs – true if committing a set of horizontal coefficients, false for a set of vertical coefficients

coeffs – pointer to the structure containing the set of floating-point coefficients

num_coeffs – the number of horizontal taps if h_coeffs is true, otherwise the number of vertical taps. The caller guarantees that the quantized_coeffs array is larger than the specified number of values

bank – the bank of coefficients used to commit the new set

phase – the phase for the set of new coefficients

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk in case of success, negative error code otherwise

kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr if the instance is invalid, or not configured for horizontal/vertical polyphase scaling and run-time loading of coefficients

kIntelVvpScalerParameterErr if the phase, bank or number of coefficients are invalid for the IP configuration

kIntelVvpCoreNullPtrErr if quantized_coeffs is a NULL pointer
