raptor-hal

Hardware Abstraction Layer for the Raptor Streaming System (RSS). Provides a unified C API over the Ingenic IMP SDK, abstracting away the differences between three SDK generations so that RSS daemons (RVD, RAD, RIC) can target all 9 Ingenic SoCs from a single codebase.

Supported Platforms

SoC	SDK Generation	Notes
T20	Old	XBurst1, H.264 only
T21	Old	XBurst1
T23	Old	XBurst1, extended OSD
T30	Old	XBurst1
T31	New	XBurst1, primary dev target
T32	New (hybrid)	XBurst1, multi-sensor, old-style type names
T33	New (hybrid)	XBurst1, T32-compatible, no DMIC/WDR
T40	IMPVI	XBurst2, multi-sensor
T41	IMPVI	XBurst2, multi-sensor

SDK generation differences (encoder struct layout, RC mode enums, ISP function signatures, ring buffer semantics) are handled internally via compile-time HAL_OLD_SDK / HAL_NEW_SDK / HAL_IMPVI_SDK macros.

Build

Produces a static library libraptor_hal.a. SDK declarations come from a headers submodule, one per vendor: ingenic-headers for the Ingenic platforms and sigmastar-headers for the SigmaStar ones. The HiSilicon backend has no submodule: it declares the HiMPP ABI in src/hisi_v4/v4_*.h and reaches the libraries through dlopen.

git submodule update --init
make PLATFORM=T31 CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-

API Overview

The public API is a single header: include/raptor_hal.h. All Ingenic SDK types are abstracted behind rss_* types. The HAL exposes an operations vtable (rss_hal_ops_t) through an opaque context.

Factory

rss_hal_ctx_t  *rss_hal_create(void);
void            rss_hal_destroy(rss_hal_ctx_t *ctx);
const rss_hal_ops_t *rss_hal_get_ops(rss_hal_ctx_t *ctx);

Calling Convention

All vtable functions are invoked through RSS_HAL_CALL, which returns RSS_ERR_NOTSUP if the function pointer is NULL (capability not available on the target SoC).

RSS_HAL_CALL(ops, isp_set_brightness, ctx, 128);

Subsystems

Subsystem	Prefix	Description
System	init, deinit, bind, unbind, sys_*	Lifecycle, pipeline binding, register access
Framesource	fs_*	Channel create/destroy/enable, raw frame capture, crop, scaler
Encoder	enc_*	H.264/H.265/JPEG encode, rate control, GOP, IDR, NAL framing
ISP	isp_*	Image tuning (BCSH, flip, WB, AE/AWB/AF, gamma, noise reduction, WDR)
OSD	osd_*	Overlay regions (picture, cover), alpha blending, per-group control
ISP OSD	isp_osd_*	Hardware overlay in ISP pipeline (T23/T32/T40/T41)
Audio In	audio_*	AI device, PCM capture, NS/HPF/AGC/AEC, custom encoder registration
Audio Enc	aenc_*	Audio encoding pipeline
Audio Dec	adec_*	Audio decoding pipeline (backchannel)
Audio Out	ao_*	Speaker playback
DMIC	dmic_*	Digital microphone (T30/T31/T32/T40/T41)
GPIO	gpio_*, ircut_*	Pin control, IR-cut filter
IVS	ivs_*	Motion detection / intelligent video
Memory	mem_*	DMA alloc/free, cache flush, phys/virt translation, pool management
Capabilities	get_caps	Per-SoC feature/limit query (rss_hal_caps_t)

Key Types

• rss_frame_t -- encoded video frame with parsed NAL units
• rss_audio_frame_t -- PCM audio frame
• rss_video_config_t -- encoder channel configuration (codec, resolution, RC, GOP)
• rss_fs_config_t -- framesource channel configuration (resolution, crop, scaler)
• rss_hal_caps_t -- per-SoC capability flags and limits
• rss_sensor_config_t -- sensor driver configuration (I2C, GPIO, VIN type)
