I am trying to write a simple v4l2 camera capture driver. I am confused on how buffer management happens
I am confused about the videobuffer queues.
can anyone take me through a simple v4l2 camera capture driver and explain how things work?

There is too little documentation. i am trying to understand the flow of the drivers from the moment the frame is captured till it is fed to the app.

Hello Nirmal,

Hope this helps...
