Question:

How can I add video control feature in UVC firmware?

Answer:

Consider the UVC example project to which you will add the video control feature.

Cypress provides UVC example project which is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\EZ-USB FX3\SDK\1.3\firmware\ cx3_examples. Build the Cx3UvcOV5640 project, and then download the image file to the Denebola board. In the MPC-HC viewer, notice that none of the video control feature is enabled (Figure 1).

This knowledge base article will explain the procedure to enable brightness control. You can enable other video control features in the same way.

Follow these steps to enable the brightness control feature in this firmware:

  1. The brightness control is defined in the processing unit. As mentioned in the UVC specification V1.1, enable brightness control by setting D0 of bmControls to 1 in the cycx3_uvcdscr.c file.

  2. Define the macros of feature selector and processing unit ID.

  6. According to UVC specification v1.1, the firmware must support Set_Cur, Get_Cur, Get_Min, Get_Max, Get_Res, Get_Info, and Get_Def. Define UVCHandleProcessingUnitRqts as shown in the code snippet.
