Mainline Linux Support for Rockchip RK3588 Video Capture Hardware Achieved After Five Years
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The article announces that after over five years of development, initial mainline Linux support for Rockchip RK3588's video capture hardware has finally been implemented. It discusses how recent Rockchip SoCs integrate dedicated IP blocks for video capture and image signal processing, enabling multimedia applications, but support for these blocks in mainline Linux has been a missing piece. The article highlights Collabora's significant efforts over recent years to achieve mainline support for the RK3588 SoC, closing a gap in an otherwise well-supported SoC lineup.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledAs many System-on-a-Chips (SoCs) do these days, recent Rockchip SoCs (namely, those of the RK35 generation) integrate dedicated IP blocks for video capture and image signal processing.
However, support for these blocks in mainline Linux remains one of the last missing pieces in an otherwise well-supported SoC lineup.
Over the last few years, Collabora has invested significant efforts into mainline support for the Rockchip RK3588 SoC.
After over five years of development, initial mainline Linux support for Rockchip RK3588's video capture hardware has finally landed.
