+This page describes how to make calls to the firmware api.
+
+How to call
+===========
+
+The preferred calling convention is known as the firmware mailbox. The
+mailboxes are basically a fixed length array that serves as the call-stack.
+
+Firmware mailboxes can be located by searching the encoder and decoder memory
+for a 16 byte signature. That signature will be located on a 256-byte boundary.
+
+Signature:
+0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34,
+0x34, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x78
+
+The firmware implements 20 mailboxes of 20 32-bit words. The first 10 are
+reserved for API calls. The second 10 are used by the firmware for event
+notification.
+
+  Index  Name
+  -----  ----
+  0      Flags
+  1      Command
+  2      Return value
+  3      Timeout
+  4-19   Parameter/Result
+
+
+The flags are defined in the following table. The direction is from the
+perspective of the firmware.
+
+  Bit  Direction  Purpose
+  ---  ---------  -------
+  2    O          Firmware has processed the command.
+  1    I          Driver has finished setting the parameters.
+  0    I          Driver is using this mailbox.
+
+
+The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in the
+fw-*-api.txt documents.
+
+The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined:
+0=success and -1=command undefined.
+
+There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields
+with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites
+these fields with result values returned by the call. The API specifics may be
+found in the fw-*-api.txt documents.
+
+The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver
+doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware
+will reset that mailbox.
+
+To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the
+first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills
+in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The
+driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the
+mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates
+the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call
+complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results
+and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the
+time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox.
+
+Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host. The host tells the
+firmware which events it is interested in via an API call. That call tells the
+firmware which notification mailbox to use. The firmware signals the host via
+an interrupt. Only the 16 Results fields are used, the Flags, Command, Return
+value and Timeout words are not used.

+This page describes the structures and procedures used by the cx2341x DMA
+engine.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The cx2341x PCI interface is busmaster capable. This means it has a DMA
+engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main
+memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate
+on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities
+on virtual memory machines.
+
+Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can
+transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large
+contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers.
+
+In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers
+above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is
+important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally
+allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is
+urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique.
+
+Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information.
+
+Flow
+====
+
+This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA
+transfers. Detailed information follows this section.
+
+- The card raises the Encoder interrupt.
+- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10.
+- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers
+  to cover the size.
+- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call.
+- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt.
+- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors.
+- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers.
+
+NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised
+simultaneously. (End of the last, start of the next, etc.)
+
+Mailbox #10
+===========
+
+The Flags, Command, Return Value and Timeout fields are ignored.
+
+Name:       Mailbox #10
+Results[0]: Type: 0: MPEG.
+Results[1]: Offset: The position relative to the card's memory space.
+Results[2]: Size: The exact number of bytes to transfer.
+
+My speculation is that since the StartCapture API has a capture type of "RAW"
+available, that the type field will have other values that correspond to YUV
+and PCM data.
+
+Scatter-Gather Array
+====================
+
+The scatter-gather array is a contiguously allocated block of memory that
+tells the card the source and destination of each data-block to transfer.
+Card "addresses" are derived from the offset supplied by Mailbox #10. Host
+addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer.
+
+Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is
+the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the
+entire 32 bits. The lowest 16 bits of the third word is the transfer byte
+count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells
+the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if
+you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will
+most likely get corrupted.
+
+The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need
+to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it
+accordingly.
+
+Array Element:
+
+- 32-bit Source Address
+- 32-bit Destination Address
+- 16-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag)
+- 16-bit byte count
+
+DMA Transfer Status
+===================
+
+Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status:
+
+Bit
+4   Scatter-Gather array error
+3   DMA write error
+2   DMA read error
+1   write completed
+0   read completed

+This document describes the cx2341x memory map and documents some of the register
+space.
+
+Warning! This information was figured out from searching through the memory and
+registers, this information may not be correct and is certainly not complete, and
+was not derived from anything more than searching through the memory space with
+commands like:
+
+        ivtvctl -O min=0x02000000,max=0x020000ff
+
+So take this as is, I'm always searching for more stuff, it's a large
+register space :-).
+
+Memory Map
+==========
+
+The cx2341x exposes its entire 64M memory space to the PCI host via the PCI BAR0
+(Base Address Register 0). The addresses here are offsets relative to the
+address held in BAR0.
+
+0x00000000-0x00ffffff Encoder memory space
+0x00000000-0x0003ffff Encode.rom
+      ???-???         MPEG buffer(s)
+      ???-???         Raw video capture buffer(s)
+      ???-???         Raw audio capture buffer(s)
+      ???-???         Display buffers (6 or 9)
+
+0x01000000-0x01ffffff Decoder memory space
+0x01000000-0x0103ffff Decode.rom
+      ???-???         MPEG buffers(s)
+0x0114b000-0x0115afff Audio.rom (deprecated?)
+
+0x02000000-0x0200ffff Register Space
+
+Registers
+=========
+
+The registers occupy the 64k space starting at the 0x02000000 offset from BAR0.
+All of these registers are 32 bits wide.
+
+DMA Registers 0x000-0xff:
+
+ 0x00 - Control:
+        0=reset/cancel, 1=read, 2=write, 4=stop
+ 0x04 - DMA status:
+        1=read busy, 2=write busy, 4=read error, 8=write error, 16=link list error
+ 0x08 - pci DMA pointer for read link list
+ 0x0c - pci DMA pointer for write link list
+ 0x10 - read/write DMA enable:
+        1=read enable, 2=write enable
+ 0x14 - always 0xffffffff, if set any lower instability occurs, 0x00 crashes
+ 0x18 - ??
+ 0x1c - always 0x20 or 32, smaller values slow down DMA transactions
+ 0x20 - always value of 0x780a010a
+ 0x24-0x3c - usually just random values???
+ 0x40 - Interrupt status
+ 0x44 - Write a bit here and shows up in Interrupt status 0x40
+ 0x48 - Interrupt Mask
+ 0x4C - always value of 0xfffdffff,
+        if changed to 0xffffffff DMA write interrupts break.
+ 0x50 - always 0xffffffff
+ 0x54 - always 0xffffffff (0x4c, 0x50, 0x54 seem like interrupt masks, are
+        3 processors on chip, Java ones, VPU, SPU, APU, maybe these are the
+        interrupt masks???).
+ 0x60-0x7C - random values
+ 0x80 - first write linked list reg, for Encoder Memory addr
+ 0x84 - first write linked list reg, for pci memory addr
+ 0x88 - first write linked list reg, for length of buffer in memory addr
+        (|0x80000000 or this for last link)
+ 0x8c-0xcc - rest of write linked list reg, 8 sets of 3 total, DMA goes here
+        from linked list addr in reg 0x0c, firmware must push through or
+        something.
+ 0xe0 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for pci memory addr
+ 0xe4 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for Decoder memory addr
+ 0xe8 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for length of buffer
+ 0xec-0xff - Nothing seems to be in these registers, 0xec-f4 are 0x00000000.
+
+Memory locations for Encoder Buffers 0x700-0x7ff:
+
+These registers show offsets of memory locations pertaining to each
+buffer area used for encoding, have to shift them by <<1 first.
+
+0x07F8: Encoder SDRAM refresh
+0x07FC: Encoder SDRAM pre-charge
+
+Memory locations for Decoder Buffers 0x800-0x8ff:
+
+These registers show offsets of memory locations pertaining to each
+buffer area used for decoding, have to shift them by <<1 first.
+
+0x08F8: Decoder SDRAM refresh
+0x08FC: Decoder SDRAM pre-charge
+
+Other memory locations:
+
+0x2800: Video Display Module control
+0x2D00: AO (audio output?) control
+0x2D24: Bytes Flushed
+0x7000: LSB I2C write clock bit (inverted)
+0x7004: LSB I2C write data bit (inverted)
+0x7008: LSB I2C read clock bit
+0x700c: LSB I2C read data bit
+0x9008: GPIO get input state
+0x900c: GPIO set output state
+0x9020: GPIO direction (Bit7 (GPIO 0..7) - 0:input, 1:output)
+0x9050: SPU control
+0x9054: Reset HW blocks
+0x9058: VPU control
+0xA018: Bit6: interrupt pending?
+0xA064: APU command
+
+
+Interrupt Status Register
+=========================
+
+The definition of the bits in the interrupt status register 0x0040, and the
+interrupt mask 0x0048. If a bit is cleared in the mask, then we want our ISR to
+execute.

+This document describes how to upload the cx2341x firmware to the card.
+
+How to find
+===========
+
+See the web pages of the various projects that uses this chip for information
+on how to obtain the firmware.
+
+The firmware stored in a Windows driver can be detected as follows:
+
+- Each firmware image is 256k bytes.
+- The 1st 32-bit word of the Encoder image is 0x0000da7
+- The 1st 32-bit word of the Decoder image is 0x00003a7
+- The 2nd 32-bit word of both images is 0xaa55bb66
+
+How to load
+===========
+
+- Issue the FWapi command to stop the encoder if it is running. Wait for the
+  command to complete.
+- Issue the FWapi command to stop the decoder if it is running. Wait for the
+  command to complete.
+- Issue the I2C command to the digitizer to stop emitting VSYNC events.
+- Issue the FWapi command to halt the encoder's firmware.
+- Sleep for 10ms.
+- Issue the FWapi command to halt the decoder's firmware.
+- Sleep for 10ms.
+- Write 0x00000000 to register 0x2800 to stop the Video Display Module.
+- Write 0x00000005 to register 0x2D00 to stop the AO (audio output?).
+- Write 0x00000000 to register 0xA064 to ping? the APU.
+- Write 0xFFFFFFFE to register 0x9058 to stop the VPU.
+- Write 0xFFFFFFFF to register 0x9054 to reset the HW blocks.
+- Write 0x00000001 to register 0x9050 to stop the SPU.
+- Sleep for 10ms.
+- Write 0x0000001A to register 0x07FC to init the Encoder SDRAM's pre-charge.
+- Write 0x80000640 to register 0x07F8 to init the Encoder SDRAM's refresh to 1us.
+- Write 0x0000001A to register 0x08FC to init the Decoder SDRAM's pre-charge.
+- Write 0x80000640 to register 0x08F8 to init the Decoder SDRAM's refresh to 1us.
+- Sleep for 512ms. (600ms is recommended)
+- Transfer the encoder's firmware image to offset 0 in Encoder memory space.
+- Transfer the decoder's firmware image to offset 0 in Decoder memory space.
+- Use a read-modify-write operation to Clear bit 0 of register 0x9050 to
+  re-enable the SPU.
+- Sleep for 1 second.
+- Use a read-modify-write operation to Clear bits 3 and 0 of register 0x9058
+  to re-enable the VPU.
+- Sleep for 1 second.
+- Issue status API commands to both firmware images to verify.
+
