14.4. Black Level Correction IP Registers

Each register is either read-only (RO) or read-write (RW).

Table 158.  Black Level Correction RegistersIn the software API the register names appear with a prefix of INTEL_VVP, INTEL_VVP_CORE or INTEL_VVP_BLC as appropriate and with an optional REG suffix

Name Bits Description
Reserved 31:2 Reserved.
Commit 1 Pending commit
Running 0 When 1, the IP is processing data.

Clip Zero En 3 You may set this bit to override reflection if Reflect around zero is on. The IP clips values below black level to 0 instead of reflecting them around 0.
Color filter array phase 2:1 Specifies 2x2 color filter order starting from the top left corner of the image.
 00  01   10  11
