Chromium 91 support #3

Closed hfrappier closed 3 years ago

hfrappier commented 3 years ago

With Chromium 91+ focusing mainly on vaapi, would it be worth it to revive rockchip-va-driver instead?

JeffyCN commented 3 years ago

Well, 1/ The rockchip-va-driver is no longer maintained(out-dated and not zero-copy and very hacky) 2/ Chromium 91+ would still support v4l2 VDA(since there are lots of chromebook using v4l2 dec/enc) 3/ I know there are people working on a new vaapi implement for the mainline kernel's v4l2 dec/enc driver(not for rockchip though, but for the same kernel driver). I haven't test that, not sure could it work with chromium vaapi VDA. Besides we are mainly focus on our BSP kernel :(

Thanks for the quick reply! V4L2 will indeed be supported for chromeos builds. I should have specified that VAAPI seems to be the main focus for linux.

JeffyCN commented 3 years ago

right, for arm linux, i think chromeos is still focus on v4l2(for exynos/tegra/mtk and rockchip). but for desktop linux chromium it's indeed vaapi.

having v4l2 vda with desktop linux requires a few hacks, and that part seems not changed much in recent chromium versions, so guessing it's fine to use it so far.

hfrappier commented 3 years ago

Indeed. For reference, https://github.com/RidgeRun/chromium-jetson-accelerated.git enables v4l2 support for 90 on arm64 18.08
