Title: How to use the vpu lib (base on C)on our firfly-rk3288
as you gus know .the vpu works fine on our android os. and we can use it by android api "mediacodec".

today.i will to show you how to use it directly.

the libs we need :

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \
libvpu \
librk_on2 \
libcutils \
liblog \

Copy the code

the head file path

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := \
$(TOP)/hardware/rk29/libon2/

Copy the code

actualy ,we need :
hardware/rk29/libon2/vpu_api.h
hardware/rk29/libon2/vpu_global.h
hardware/rk29/libon2/vpu_mem.h

first of all , open the vpu and get the context:

struct VpuCodecContext* ctx=NULL;
vpu_open_context(&ctx);

Copy the code

then , initialize it:

ctx->codecType=cmd->codec_type; // CODEC_DECODER?
ctx->videoCoding=cmd->coding;
ctx->width=cmd->width;
ctx->height=cmd->height;
ctx->no_thread=1;
ret=ctx->init(ctx, pExtra, extraSize)

Copy the code

now we can do decode ：
get a packet from your file .

VideoPacket_t* pkt =NULL;

Copy the code

after decoding :

ret=ctx->decode(ctx, pkt, pOut)

Copy the code

we get a out packet

DecoderOut_t *pOut=NULL;

Copy the code

ok we get the output .how to use it?

the data of pOut contains :

VPU_FRAME *frame=(VPU_FRAME *)(pOut->data);

Copy the code

both virtual and physical address of the decoded frame are contained in structure named VPU_FRAME,
if you want to use virtual address, make sure you have done VPUMemLink before.

VPUMemLink(&frame->vpumem);

Copy the code

save the output data :

fwrite((U8*)(frame->vpumem.vir_addr), 1, frameSize, pOutFile);

Copy the code

remember use VPUFreeLinear to free, otherwise memory leak will give you a surprise.

VPUFreeLinear(&frame->vpumem);

Copy the code

done !

hi,isle,

I want to use rk3288 video HW(hevc) decoder on linux,I use libhyris directly invoke the libvpu method,Can this be achieved?

In theory，It can work.
you could try。

You mean I just need to libhevcdec.so,no need libvpu.so?What is the relationship between these two libraries?

hi guys!

to add some info here:
libvpu is mainly needed for VPU/GPU memory access; librkon2 is needed for encoding/decoding; librkon2 uses other rk libs like libhevcdec to do its magic.
librkffplayer is a more complete library based on ffplayer lib to (de)mux and encoding/decoding streams and is used by androids stagefright, not yet available in machybris but can be quite easily added.
machybris also exposes the very high level api for androids media service by libmedia: ubuntu made this for their ubuntu touch/phablet products

hope this helps...

There is no librk_on2.so in Android 5.1 , so how to directly use vpu? which libs need?
