[PATCH v4 0/3] Add ZynqMP VCU/Allegro DVT H.264 encoder driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is v4 of the series to add support for the Allegro DVT H.264 encoder
found in the EV family of the Xilinx ZynqMP platform.

The most prominent change is the added documentation in the nal_h264.h header.
The structs for the SPS and PPS NAL units and the function prototypes to
convert between RBSP and the C structs are now accompanied by kernel-doc.

Furthermore, I went through all TODOs and FIXMEs in the driver. This resulted
in a cleaner handling of messages that are exchanged with the encoder
firmware, better documentation of the limits that are imposed by the encoder
firmware on the driver, fixed handling of failures during channel creation,
and support for 4k video.

v4l2-compliance also seems to be happy with the new version:

v4l2-compliance SHA: 410942e345b889d09456f5f862ee6cd415d8ae59, 64 bits
