1 WHAT IT IS
2 ----------
4 gst-ducati is a plugin for using the hw accellerated codecs on IVA-HD via the
5 codec-engine API. Uses the libdce (distributed codec-engine) library to
6 use the codec on ducati.
8 WHY IS IT?
9 ----------
11 An OpenMAX-like API is provided by TI along with modified gst-openmax
12 plugins. So gst-ducati is not needed in that sense. But libdce and this
13 was an interesting project for me to try on my free time.
15 TO BUILD:
16 ---------
18 Install normal gstreamer and gst-plugins-base dev packages (or build them
19 yourself so you have the headers, etc). Then install the corresponding
20 syslink/tiler/d2c packages (matching your kernel version). And finally
21 libdce (https://github.com/robclark/libdce) matching your kernel version.
23 TODO
24 ----
25 + handle h264 avc format (in addition to just bytestream)
26 + mjpeg
27 + encoding
