There is at least some firmware running on the decoder. And I am pretty sure that it provides a similar mailbox interface as the encoder that the driver must use. However, I don't know, what messages the firmware expects. Thus, the decoder maybe stateless. Maybe it even keeps some state in the firmware, but still requires the software to parse the stream and explicitly set the stream parameters. Michael
