3A Statistics
=============
The ISP device collects different statistics over an input bayer frame. Those
statistics can be obtained by userspace from the
:ref:`mali-c55 3a stats <mali-c55-3a-stats>` metadata capture video node, using
the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains a single instance
of the C structure :c:type:`mali_c55_stats_buffer` defined in
``mali-c55-config.h``, so the structure can be obtained from the buffer by:
.. code-block:: C
struct mali_c55_stats_buffer *stats =
(struct mali_c55_stats_buffer *)buf;
For details of the statistics see :c:type:`mali_c55_stats_buffer`.
Configuration Parameters
========================
The configuration parameters are passed to the :ref:`mali-c55 3a params
<mali-c55-3a-params>` metadata output video node, using the
:c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. Rather than a single struct containing
sub-structs for each configurable area of the ISP, parameters for the Mali-C55
use the v4l2-isp parameters system, through which groups of parameters are
defined as distinct structs or "blocks" which may be added to the data member of
:c:type:`v4l2_isp_params_buffer`. Userspace is responsible for populating the
data member with the blocks that need to be configured by the driver. Each
block-specific struct embeds :c:type:`v4l2_isp_params_block_header` as its first
member and userspace must populate the type member with a value from
:c:type:`mali_c55_param_block_type`.
.. code-block:: c
struct v4l2_isp_params_buffer *params =
(struct v4l2_isp_params_buffer *)buffer;
