we are "stuck" with Linux 4.9.175 kernel with iMX6q and are looking for a solution for VPU video decoding. I see that there is a VPU driver in the kernel, but I assume that more support is needed for doing a simple decode.
Questions: Do I need CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV with CONFIG_MXC_VPU?
I cannot seem to get the CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV to stick in menuconfig (I save it, then go back in and it is disabled...)
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you are using mainline kernel version, you may need porting VPU driver from kernel we release.

Thank you for the reply. I will try that.
The current code I have seems to lock up the kernel as soon as the module loads.

Anyone know of a simple VPU decoder test? (does it use vpuwrap, or some other library)...
