STRUCT CSIS_PIX_FORMAT(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct csis_pix_format πŸ’…

okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” and no, that's not a drill, we're deep in kernel land today and honestly? it's giving main character energy. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct csis_pix_format β€” the CSIS pixel format description. literally what it sounds like: it's the lil struct that describes how a pixel format is laid out. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct csis_pix_format {
    unsigned int pix_width_alignment;
    u32 code;
    u32 fmt_reg;
    u8 data_alignment;
};

look at her. four members. impeccable. no notes. πŸ‘‘


🌈 Members 🌈

so let's meet the whole squad one by one, okay? 🫢

  • pix_width_alignment β€” this one's unsigned int, and it's the horizontal pixel alignment, periodt. the width is gonna be a multiple of 2^pix_width_alignment. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’«
  • code β€” a u32 holding the corresponding media bus code. yes bestie, the corresponding one, iykyk. πŸ”₯
  • fmt_reg β€” another u32, and this bad boy is the S5PCSIS_CONFIG register value. capital letters, iconic name, no cap. ⭐
  • data_alignment β€” a lil u8 and it's the MIPI-CSI data alignment in bits. small but mighty fr fr. πŸ’œ

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

  • Kernel file ./drivers/media/platform/samsung/exynos4-is/mipi-csis.c
  • struct csis_state(9)

lowkey if you're poking around this part of drivers/media, go read the actual file too β€” it's right there in the SEE ALSO and it's not gonna read itself. 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie ✨ β€” courtesy of that kernel source path ./drivers/media/platform/samsu..., dated October 2026, stamped right there in the footer like a little timestamped love letter. πŸ’–πŸŒΈπŸŽ€ go forth and align your pixels. πŸ’…
