GStreamer VPU support on i.MX6

[Gary Thomas]

Subject says it all: is there VPU (encode/decode) support
available for the i.MX6?

There is for imx6q

For imx6dl and imx6sl I have not even touched it

I'm interested on the SabreLite (imx6q).

How do I get/build it?

If you use meta-fsl-demos, packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer ought do the trick.

Still no /lib/firmware/vpu.  Here's what packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer

What package provides the /lib/firmware/vpu files?

You asked gstreamer ;-) for firmware it is:

Wait!

Why packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer does not depends on firmware?

packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer should call gst-fsl-plugins that MUST be 
firmware depended someway!

I'm getting confusedddddddddddd

The firmware is installed by packagegroup-base-core; adding a
dependency on this is not optimal IMO.

Gary seems to be doing an image picking each package individually so
is his duty to deal with this, not expected to work out of box. If he
were using core-image class (instead of image class) it'd be doing the
right thing for him.

I almost remember we have already discussed why firmware is not a 
dependency.

I cannot remember what i understood.

Why would I want to have gst-fsl-plugins installed WITHOUT the VPU firmware?

Maybe on a SoC that does not have VPU, like mx28/mx6sl ?

That's why you can use DEPENDS_mx6q = "firmware"

So we use the packagegroup-core-base; if user is selecting things
byhand, he is by himself.

It gets you other pieces which don't need the VPU, e.g. the
special V4L2 drivers.

I only means that when you decide to not install VPU dec/enc you don't 
need vpu firmware.

It does not mean that, when you install gst-fsl-plugins you don't expect 
to find the vpu firmware

So we might need to change packagegroup-fsl-vpu-support and make
packagegroup-fsl-gstramer depends on it?
