v4l2codecs is the gstreamer plugin for V4L2 stateless video hardware
decoding. The Rockchip SoCs that have a VPU all seems to be based on
Hantro, RKVDEC or RKVDECv2, all stateless encoding/decoding VPUs.
Therefore, let's enable VPU decoding in Gstreamer whenever possible,
when the SoC supports it.
PX30, RK3066, RK3188, RK3288, RK3328, RK3399, RK356x and RK3588(s) all
have at least one Hantro VPU.
RK3328, RK3399, RK356x and RK3588(s) all have at least one
RKVDEC/RKVDECv2 VPU (though not necessarily supported in the upstream
kernel just yet).
=== PX30
Tested on PX30 Ringneck with with Haikou+Haikou Video Demo adapter:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=$FILE ! parsebin ! v4l2slh264dec ! waylandsink
with FILE storing the path to any h264 file, e.g.
https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.movhttps://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
Needed packages are:
- weston
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (for waylandsink and v4l2slh264dec)
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-base (for parsebin)
A few frames are dropped every other second for 1080p but otherwise
smooth.
=== RK3399
Tested on RK3399 Puma with Haikou:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=$FILE ! parsebin ! v4l2slh264dec ! waylandsink
with FILE storing the path to any h264 file, e.g.
https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.movhttps://download.blender.org/demo/movies/BBB/bbb_sunflower_2160p_30fps_normal.mp4.zip
Needed packages are:
- weston
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (for waylandsink and v4l2codecs)
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-base (for parsebin)
=== RK3588
Tested on a RK3588 Tiger with Haikou+Haikou Video Demo adapter - on a
downstream v6.6 (upstream-based, not Rockchip BSP-based) with DSI
patches - :
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=$FILE ! parsebin ! v4l2slav1dec ! fakesink
with FILE storing the path to any AV1 file, e.g.
http://download.opencontent.netflix.com.s3.amazonaws.com/AV1/cmaf/spark-8b-59.94fps/spark_606kbps_432p.mp4https://woolyss.com/f/av1-nosound-chimera.mp4https://woolyss.com/f/av1-opus-sita.webm
Needed packages are:
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (for fakesink and v4l2slav1dec)
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-base (for parsebin)
For some reason though, waylandsink is very choppy. Combining
fpsdisplaysink with fakesink shows a ~60fps when decoding the 432p file,
~24fps for the two others.
Note that 10b-depth isn't supported (at least in my setup).

Add "rockchip" to the MACHINEOVERRIDES so that it can be used to easily
identify things that apply only to Rockchip-based devices and keeping
other devices untouched.

Update machine include files to allow overriding of KERNEL_IMAGETYPE.
[
with the following 2 tweaks by Trevor:
- remove the "v3" from the commit's subject
- extended patch to rk3308 and rk3588s, which were added in between this patch
being submitted, and this patch being applied

Remove the non-rockchip architectures from the kernel build since these are
all a waste of build time, filesystem space, and runtime memory.
Signed-off-by: Trevor Woerner <twoerner@gmail.com>
The _virtual notation is not an override. These syntax "fixes" need to be
reverted.
In the case of the kernel override, when it was added, the rock-pi-e needed
the latest kernel (linux-yocto-dev) but now the default linux-yocto kernel
will suffice. So this mistake actually switched the rock-pi-e from
linux-yocto-dev back to linux-yocto inadvertently but at a time when
linux-yocto-dev was no longer required.
In the case of the bootloader overrides, u-boot was always the default, so
these overrides were always redundant.
Therefore, in the end, simply removing these overrides is the best way
forward (considering these aren't doing anything, and the builds are working
fine regardless).

With bitbake commit 7dcf317cc141dc980634f8c18bfa84f83e57206a
("bitbake: Switch to using new override syntax"), applied on
Aug 2, 2021, the OVERRIDE separator is now a colon instead of
an underscore. Therefore all builds performed with a bitbake
before this change must use a meta-rockchip commit before this
one, and any builds performed with a bitbake after this change
must use a meta-rockchip starting from this commit onwards.
Build-tested for all meta-rockchip MACHINEs.
Run tested on:
- tinker-board
- nanopi-m4-2gb
- rock64
- rock-pi-4b
- rock-pi-e
The tinker-board and rock-pi-e work fine. The rest of the boards
seem to have a, hopefully unrelated, issue running a
5.13-yocto-standard kernel. However, all boards work with the
5.10-yocto-standard kernel.

By exporting a couple more variables the wks file for every rockchip device
can be built from one template instead of having separate wks files for each
board and platform.
The following BSP variables were checked before and after this change to make
sure they remained valid/sensible:
- WKS_FILE
- UBOOT_SUFFIX
- SPL_BINARY
- IMAGE_FSTYPES
Built-tested for every MACHINE in this BSP.
Run-tested on the following devices to ensure they continue to boot correctly
to a cmdline (core-image-base):
- tinker-board
- rock-pi-e
- rock-pi-4b

Create a conf/machine/include/rockchip-wic.inc file to contain all the common
wic/wks things for easy inclusion by any MACHINEs that use wic for their image
creation.
NOTE: the wic image type of rock-pi-e changed from "wic.xz" to "wic" which
matches all the other meta-rockchip MACHINEs that use wic
The following variables were checked before and after to make sure they remain
correct/sensible:
- IMAGE_FSTYPES
- WKS_FILE_DEPENDS

Default image is built to boot from SD-card. Building an image for
eMMC requires to set RK_BOOT_DEVICE="mmcblk0".
