RE: [ANN] First draft of the agenda for the Warsaw meeting

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

 



Hi, Hans

We want to confirm if it is possible to discuss our concerning points 
at each item of 1st draft that you made as below. 

Our concerning items that we want to discuss are :

1. Issues when using V4l2 control framework with codec
   : http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg27975.html
   : Can we discuss 'V4l2 control framework to support codec' in your first
agenda ?
     (Compressed format API for MPEG, H.264, etc. xxx)
   : We will post related contents in mailing list before joining Warsaw
meeting. 

2.  Subdev architecture enhancements(second agenda)
   :
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/29442
/focus=29570
     -> We posted our issue(subdev related) as above link, and 
         If it(Subdev architecture enhancements)is applied, it might resolve
our issue. 
   :  So, we want to talk about some problem & solving way in second agenda

3. Which interface is better for Mixer of Exynos, frame buffer or V4l2 ?
   : http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg28549.html
    -> Here at fifth agenda (HDMI receiver/transmitter API support),
        We want to discuss that frame buffer interface is more suitable for
Mixer.
        Can we discuss that here ? 

4. Method for sharing buffer b/w processes
  : http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg29936.html
  : This is one of big topics, I know
  : In Warsaw meeting we would like to share the SDVMM concept for buffer
sharing.
    I know it's a very huge topic. But if you arrange the priority of it in
the agenda, 
    one more person in Samsung(S.LSI) will attend the meeting 
    even though it is just a concept sharing.
    As I know, ST-Ericsson also uses Mali(ARM GPU).
    I also want to hear the usage from Willy Poisson.
  : Can we discuss this items at 'Buffer Pool(HWMEM, GEM, CMA)' ?
