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.
