VPU

Linux Video Processing Unit allows to offload to the hardware the decoding and encoding of video streams, avoiding the need to involve the CPU for such intensive operations. Having VPU support would provide a smoother video decoding/encoding experience, at a much lower CPU consumption.

The VPU modules support H.264/H.265 video decoding and H.265 video encoding.

StarFive does not recommend users to use the VPU module directly, thus the module relevant user information is currently not opened yet, please contact your StarFive technical support or sales consultant to place a request if you need instructions on how to use this module.
