+============================================
+Raspberry Pi PiSP Camera Front End (rp1-cfe)
+============================================
+
+The PiSP Camera Front End
+=========================
+
+The PiSP Camera Front End (CFE) is a module which combines a CSI-2 receiver with
+a simple ISP, called the Front End (FE).
+
+The CFE has four DMA engines and can write frames from four separate streams
+received from the CSI-2 to the memory. One of those streams can also be routed
+directly to the FE, which can do minimal image processing, write two versions
+(e.g. non-scaled and downscaled versions) of the received frames to memory and
+provide statistics of the received frames.
+
+The FE registers are documented in the `Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor
+(ISP) Specification document
+<https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/camera/raspberry-pi-image-signal-processor-specification.pdf>`_,
+and example code for FE can be found in `libpisp
+<https://github.com/raspberrypi/libpisp>`_.
+
+The rp1-cfe driver
+==================
+
+The Raspberry Pi PiSP Camera Front End (rp1-cfe) driver is located under
+drivers/media/platform/raspberrypi/rp1-cfe. It uses the `V4L2 API` to register
+a number of video capture and output devices, the `V4L2 subdev API` to register
+subdevices for the CSI-2 received and the FE that connects the video devices in
+a single media graph realized using the `Media Controller (MC) API`.
+
+The media topology registered by the `rp1-cfe` driver, in this particular
+example connected to an imx219 sensor, is the following one:
+
+.. _rp1-cfe-topology:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: raspberrypi-rp1-cfe.dot
+ :alt: Diagram of an example media pipeline topology
+ :align: center
+
+The media graph contains the following video device nodes:
+
+- rp1-cfe-csi2-ch0: capture device for the first CSI-2 stream
+- rp1-cfe-csi2-ch1: capture device for the second CSI-2 stream
+- rp1-cfe-csi2-ch2: capture device for the third CSI-2 stream
+- rp1-cfe-csi2-ch3: capture device for the fourth CSI-2 stream
+- rp1-cfe-fe-image0: capture device for the first FE output
+- rp1-cfe-fe-image1: capture device for the second FE output
+- rp1-cfe-fe-stats: capture device for the FE statistics
+- rp1-cfe-fe-config: output device for FE configuration
+
+rp1-cfe-csi2-chX
+----------------
+
+The rp1-cfe-csi2-chX capture devices are normal V4L2 capture devices which
+can be used to capture video frames or metadata received from the CSI-2.
+
+rp1-cfe-fe-image0, rp1-cfe-fe-image1
+------------------------------------
+
+The rp1-cfe-fe-image0 and rp1-cfe-fe-image1 capture devices are used to write
+the processed frames to memory.
+
+rp1-cfe-fe-stats
+----------------
+
+The format of the FE statistics buffer is defined by
+:c:type:`pisp_statistics` C structure and the meaning of each parameter is
+described in the `PiSP specification` document.
+
+rp1-cfe-fe-config
+-----------------
+
+The format of the FE configuration buffer is defined by
+:c:type:`pisp_fe_config` C structure and the meaning of each parameter is
+described in the `PiSP specification` document.
