On that particular note, as part of the effort to develop the driver,
we've also developped two userspace components:
- v4l2-request-test, that has a bunch of sample frames for various
codecs and will rely solely on the kernel request api (and DRM for
the display part) to test and bringup a particular driver
https://github.com/bootlin/v4l2-request-test
- libva-v4l2-request, that is a libva implementation using the
request API
https://github.com/bootlin/libva-v4l2-request
Did you have something else in mind?
Maxime
