Introduction to V4L2 and Its Role in Video Codec Development
V4L2 is the Linux kernel framework that unifies video device access, abstracts complex multi‑IC hardware into sub‑devices, and provides core, platform, and sensor driver layers, while supporting capture, output, and M2M codec operations with sophisticated buffer management—including mmap, userptr, and DMA‑Buf for zero‑copy processing on Android.
