Hi All,
Not really sure how this is being discussed in the Multimedia WG. But do we yet have a standardized kernel driver framework for video acceleration?
A bit investigation showed a chaos in this area:
1. Different SoC vendors are using their specific APIs
2. The freescale case, there is a proposed driver from Sascha using V4L2 interface, yet our analysis showed some issues with this API to support a full featured usage, and the API itself doesn't just seem to be right for this (thanks for Jason for a detailed analysis)
3. XvMC (obsolete I believe)
4. nVidia's VDPAU, which is supported by XBMC and many others though
5. VA API (Intel proposed and currently available on Intel graphics), can use VDPAU as a backend
6. XvBA - AMD is proposing this for the ATI video HW
