Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] docs: uapi: media: Document Raspberry Pi NV12 column format
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 14:05:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-media-rpi-hevc-dec-v6-2-93868ae6dff8@raspberrypi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304-media-rpi-hevc-dec-v6-0-93868ae6dff8@raspberrypi.com>
The Raspberry Pi HEVC decoder uses a tiled format based on
columns for 8 and 10 bit YUV images, so document them as
NV12MT_COL128 and NV12MT_10_COL128.

+NV12MT_COL128 and NV12MT_10_COL128
+----------------------------------
+
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT_COL128`` is a tiled version of
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M`` where the two planes are split into 128 byte wide columns
+of Y or interleaved CbCr. The height is always aligned to a multiple of 8 lines.
+
+V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT_10_COL128 expands that as a 10 bit format where 3 10 bit
+values are packed into a 32bit word. A 128 byte wide column therefore holds 96
+samples (either Y or interleaved CrCb). That effectively makes it 6 values in a
+64 bit word for the CbCr plane, as the values always go in pairs.
+
