+Fixed parameters configuration format
+=====================================
+
+When using the fixed configuration format, parameters are passed to the

-the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains

+
+The buffer contains a single instance of the C structure

+:c:type:`rkisp1_ext_params_cfg` structure is designed to allow userspace to
+populate the data buffer with only the configuration data for the ISP blocks it
+intends to configure. The extensible parameters format design allows developers
+to define new block types to support new configuration parameters, and defines a
+versioning scheme so that it can be extended and versioned without breaking
+compatibility with existing applications.
+
+For these reasons, this configuration method if preferred over the `fixed
+parameters` format alternative.
