Communication with the board is facilitated through +use of their python library, available here +(https://github.com/robovero/python). + + +DSP Considerations +------------------ + +In order to get live video encoding working at a reasonable frame rate, it +is necessary to leverage the on-board digital signal processor (DSP). +Getting this setup is somewhat involved; you will be required to install +some specialized libraries and set aside some physical memory to avoid +conflicts between the DSP and kernel. After everything is in place you +will be able to plug a DSP accelerated encoder directly into a gstreamer +pipeline. + +A detailed walkthrough can be found here: +http://jumpnowtek.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81:gumstix-dsp-gstreamer&catid=35:gumstix&Itemid=67 + +License +------- + +Copyright (C) 2013 Intel Corporation + +Unless otherwise stated, Storm is made available under the MIT license.
