Alvium CSI-2 Cameras User Guide V2.8.1
V4L2 controls and register controls
Embedded applications
often use V4L2 controls provided with the Linux kernel to
operate and configure the camera.
GenICam features
Machine vision applications
typically use GenICam SFNC features enabled by a
transport layer communicating between a software development kit (SDK) and the
interface driver. Selected Alvium 1800 C models support GenICam.
V4L2 controls - general information
Consider that V4L2 controls change through the Linux kernel development. The
driver for Alvium CSI-2 cameras currently supports kernel 4.9.140. For embedded
board adapters, see CSI-2 accessories at
www.alliedvision.com/en/support/technical-documentation/
For a description of V4L2 controls related to the
current kernel version
, see
V4L2 controls - reference for camera specific information
Almost every register control has an equivalent V4L2 control. For applications
based on V4L2 Access, we recommend using the Direct Register Access Reference
for camera specific information.
