Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add Amlogic stateless H.264 video decoder for S4
Introduce initial driver support for Amlogic's new video acceleration
hardware architecture, designed for video stream decoding.
Compared to the current Amlogic video decoder hardware architecture,
this new implementation eliminates the Esparser hardware component,
enabling direct vb2 buffer input. The driver is designed to support
the V4L2 M2M stateless decoder API. The initial phase includes support
for H.264 decoding on Amlogic S805X2 platform.
The driver is capable of:
- Supporting stateless H.264 decoding up to a resolution 1920x1088(on the S805X2 platform).
- Supporting I/P/B frame handling.
- Supporting vb2 mmap and dma-buf modes.
- Supporting frame-based decode mode. (Note that some H.264 bitstreams require
DPB reordering to generate reference lists, the stateless decoder driver
cannot access reordered reference lists in this mode, requiring the driver
to perform reference list reordering itself)
- Supporting NV12/NV21 output.
- Supporting Annex B start codes.
This driver is tested with Gstreamer.
Example:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/tmp/video_640x360_mp4_hevc_450kbps_no_b.mp4 !
parsebin ! v4l2slh264dec ! filesink location=/tmp/output.yuv
The driver passes v4l2 compliance test, test reports :
v4l2-compliance 1.30.1, 64 bits, 64-bit time_t
