Hi Adam, thanks for you work, I'll try and reply about the GStreamer questions below, if you have further question feel free to ask.

I will check the patchset, but you need in the mini-variant to disable the G1 post processor, because this block was fused out. We didn't make it optional from the start as according to the V1 of the TRM it was there, but that error was corrected in V3. > > I am also curious to know if/what gstreamer plugins are necessary.

I am hoping some > of the linux-media experts might chime in on how to best test. I will recommend using GStreamer 1.19.3 or main branch (GStreamer is now a single git repo). You will then be able to test Hantro G1 decoding of MPEG2, H264 and VP8. Remember that the related plugin depends on libgudev (a glib binding of udev). For the encoder, I believe only JPEG maybe supported, since this is all there is mainline for RK3288 (and perhaps other RK). But this will need testing and debugging as the G1 version is slightly newer on NXP SoC. > > Lastly, I didn't update any device tree binding YAML files, because > I know there have been some discussions about the power domains on the > imx8mq, and I wasn't sure if the imx8mm should get a separate YAML file > or if the existing one for te imx8mq should just be modified. > > This will likely require the following series in order to apply correctly: > https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/?series=576407 > > Adam Ford (5): > media: hantro: Add support for i.MX8M Mini > arm64: dts: imx8mm: Enable VPU-G1 and VPU-G2 > media: hantro: Rename ROCKCHIP_VPU_ENC_FMT to HANTRO_VPU_ENC_FMT > media: hantro: Add H1 encoder support on i.MX8M Mini > arm64: dts: imx8mm: Enable Hantro H1 Encoder > > arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm.dtsi | 61 ++++++++ > drivers/staging/media/hantro/hantro_drv.c | 3 + > drivers/staging/media/hantro/hantro_hw.h | 19 ++- > drivers/staging/media/hantro/imx8m_vpu_hw.c | 143 ++++++++++++++++++ > .../staging/media/hantro/rockchip_vpu_hw.c | 26 ++-- > 5 files changed, 231 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) >
