Hi,
I have the exact same goal : Getting XBMC to run on GK802 with GPU and VPU acceleration.
As far as I am aware, there is no public port to support iMX VPU.
I can see 2 ways to address the problem :
* Let's develop a DVDVideoCodec to support the iMX VPU for dvdplayer
* Let's enable the use of gstreamer as the underlying player (and benefit from the gstreamer plugins which are already available) : Rob Clark did the job for the pandaboard a year ago : https://github.com/robclark/xbmc/tree/linaro
What do you (and xbmc developers) think about these 2 options ?
The former requires more work (but seems perfectly doable given the provided sources and firmware by freescale) while the latter should be quite easy (or at least not so hard) to test in the coming days...
Best regards
Stephan
