Microelectronics Europe.

We used a 1024 x 768 LCD.

There was no decoder involved at all. The  CoralP  can  stream  video
directly,  without  any CPU load :-) We used the "zvideo" application

None. Just a video source like a standard DVD player or a camera.

See the README.html

Yes, it was. See the drivers/spi/ diretory in our  linuxppc_2_4_devel
tree, or
