2016-04-19libimxvpuapi: Add new recipeCarlos Rafael Giani
This is a library for using the i.MX6 VPU. It is an alternative to libfslvpuwrap, hosted on Github, and has an API that features several improvements over libfslvpuwrap, which include: * User-defined context information associated with input frames, which is passed on to corresponding output frames (to be able to identify which input frame produced which output frame) * Groundwork for future DMA-BUF/BMM/ION/CMA allocator integration, using file descriptors instead of physical addresses * Indicators for when it is safe to try to decode frames, which is critical in multi-threaded playback cases * Simplified, higher-level JPEG en/decoding API, based on the VPU MJPEG codec; useful for picture viewing without the extra boilerplate for VPU-based en/decoding Signed-off-by: Carlos Rafael Giani <dv@pseudoterminal.org> Signed-off-by: Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br>
