8.5. 3D LUT IP Software API

The IP includes a software driver that configures and controls all the necessary parameters of the IP.
Figure 16. Software driver usage example 
intel_vvp_3d_lut_instance lut_0;
ret = intel_vvp_3d_lut_init(&lut_0, (intel_vvp_core_base)LUT_0_BASE);
if (ret == 0)
{
  /* Load LUT buffer 0 by software */
  if (load_3d_lut(&lut_0, 0) == 0)
  {
    /* Enable LUT processing */
    intel_vvp_3d_lut_enable(&lut_0, true);
  }
  else
  {
    printf("Error loading LUT data: %d\n");
  }
}
else
{
  printf("Error initializing lut_0: %d\n", ret);
}

The driver does not include the load function. You have alternative ways to source the LUT entry data. The simplest is from a precompiled structure in the software source code. An example of using this method is: 

int load_3d_lut(intel_vvp_3d_lut_instance* instance, uint8_t buffer)
{
  uint16_t r_idx = 0, g_idx = 0, b_idx = 0;
  uint32_t table_idx = 0;
  while (table_idx < ((sizeof(lut_table)/sizeof(uint16_t)) - 4))
  {
    int result = intel_vvp_3d_lut_load(instance, r_idx, g_idx, b_idx, buffer,
        lut_table[table_idx],
        lut_table[table_idx + 1],
        lut_table[table_idx + 2],
        lut_table[table_idx + 3]);
    if (result != 0)
    {
      return result;
    }
    table_idx += 4;
    if (++r_idx == LUT_TABLE_DIMENSION)
    {
      r_idx = 0;
      if (++g_idx == LUT_TABLE_DIMENSION)
      {
        g_idx = 0;
        if (++b_idx == LUT_TABLE_DIMENSION)
        {
          break;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

In this example, the data is a flat structure containing four elements per LUT entry (4 * lut_dimension³).

The definition for the dimension and data table is:

 
#DEFINE LUT_TABLE_DIMENSION 17
const uint16_t lut_table[] = {
0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000,
0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000,
