    摘要: A display pipe may include fetch circuitry and a scaler unit, and registers programmable with information that defines active regions of an image frame. Pixels within the active regions are active pixels to be displayed, pixels outside of the active regions are inactive pixels not to be displayed. The fetch circuitry may retrieve frames from memory, retrieving the active pixels and not retrieving the inactive pixels as defined by the programmed contents of the registers. A scaler unit may produce scaled pixels from the fetched pixels, basing each scaled pixel on a respective corresponding set of pixels. When a given pixel of the respective corresponding set of pixels is an inactive pixel, the scaler unit may assign an estimated value to the given pixel based on one or more active pixels in the respective corresponding set of pixels. The scaler unit may provide the scaled pixels to a blend unit for blending with other pixels.

    摘要: Video display pipes may terminate with a FIFO (first-in first-out) buffer from which pixels are provided to a display controller to display the pixels on a graphics/video display. The display pipes may frequently process the pixels at a much higher rate than at which the display controller fetches the pixels from the FIFO buffer. In an error-checking only mode, the FIFO may be disabled, and an error-checking (e.g. CRC) block connected in front of the FIFO may receive the pixels processed by the display pipes as fast as the display pipes are capable of processing the pixels. Accordingly, the length of test/simulation time required to perform a test may be determined by the rate at which pixels are generated rather than the rate at which the display controller displays the pixels. It also becomes possible to perform testing/simulation in environments where a display is not supported or is not available. The results generated by the error-checking may be read and compared to an expected value to detect test pass/fail conditions.

    摘要: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a flexible memory input/output controller that is configured to the storing and reading of multiple types of pixels and pixel memory formats. For instance, the memory I/O controller may support the storing and reading of raw image pixels at various bits of precision, such as 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit. Pixel formats that are unaligned with memory bytes (e.g., not being a multiple of 8-bits) may be stored in a packed manner. The memory I/O controller may also support various formats of RGB pixel sets and YCC pixel sets.

    摘要: Systems and methods for processing image data in RGB format are provided. In one example, an electronic device includes memory to store image data in raw or RGB format, or both, and an RGB image processing pipeline to process the image data. Specifically, the RGB image processing pipeline may process the image data regardless of whether the image data is of raw or RGB format. The RGB image processing pipeline may include receiving logic to receive the image data in raw or RGB format and demosaicing logic to, when the receiving logic receives the image data in raw format, convert the image data into RGB format. The logic may include local tone mapping logic configured to apply spatially varying tone curves to the image data, a color correction matrix configured to correct color in the image data, and gamma logic configured to transform the image data into gamma space.

The electronic display may display images of a first bit depth, and the imaging device may include an image sensor that obtains image data of a higher bit depth than the first bit depth. The image signal processor may process the image data, and may include local tone mapping logic that may apply a spatially varying local tone curve to a pixel of the image data to preserve local contrast when displayed on the display. The local tone mapping logic may smooth the local tone curve applied to the intensity difference between the pixel and another nearby pixel exceeds a threshold.

    摘要: A method and system is disclosed for accessing I/O and memory devices utilizing a DMA controller. Each device may be connected to the DMA controller through an individual channel. Clocking circuitry in the DMA may allow the DMA controller to send signals to each device at a prescribed frequency. Furthermore, the DMA controller is capable of activating and deactivating a channel clock, used in sending signals to the devices, based on the operational status of the individual devices. The DMA controller is also capable of tuning the channel clock dependant on the capabilities of any active devices. In this manner, the amount of bandwidth used during a DMA data transfer can be tailored to the specific requirements of the devices involved with the data transfer.
