Xilinx adopted the V4L2 framework for most of its video IP portfolio. The currently supported video IPs and corresponding drivers are listed under V4L2. Each V4L driver has a sub-page that lists driver-specific details and provides pointers to additional documentation. The following table provides a quick overview of the drivers used in this design.
