Hi,
My customer is making a product with i.MX8QuadXPlus and Linux BSP L4.14.98_2.0.0_ga.
They would like to reduce a memory size from cost point of view.
Linux BSP is allocating reserved-memory as below.
VPU is reserving a memory as encoder_reserved. it is allocating 8MB.
We would like to reduce these size based on our use cases.
How do we estimate enough memory size for VPU processing ?
Copy from fsl-imx8dx.dtsi in Linux BSP L4.14.98_2.0.0_ga.
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;
/*
* reserved-memory layout
* 0x8800_0000 ~ 0x8FFF_FFFF is reserved for M4
* Shouldn't be used at A core and Linux side.
