Memory required for 1080p30 h264 video encoding in imx6Dualite

[anjojohn]

Hi All,

We have a requirement of 1080p30 video  encode into h264 using the imxvpuenc_h264 gstreamer module. Our processor is IMX6Duallite. We plan to put 512 MB ram in our custom board. Is it possible to encode with 512 MB ram ? . How to see the memory usage of encoder/decoder (VPU and GPU elements). Any system calls for this ?

Hi anjo

Try nxp vpuenc (part of nxp/fsl gstreamer plugins fsl-gst-plugin), 

details are :

also, usage described in your bsp documentation Linux Guide sect.7.3.3 Video encoding,

For memory profiling, you can try this as base:

IMX6 Memory Bandwidth usage - RidgeRun Developer Connection 

hope this helps
