The library is named libtidsp, that's outside of the purview of libav, and it's my call how to name it. It's named after the tidspbridge driver. If you don't like the name of the driver, complain on the staging mailing list. > Furthermore, it is quite clear > that the tidspbridge interface is dead, used only on abandoned products > like the N900. First of all, the tidspbridge driver is the *only* DSP-related driver that lives on the vanilla Linux kernel (drivers/staging/tidspbridge), and it's the *only* one that has the chance to be merged to the main tree. Secondly, it's used in all kinds of phones, including Android phones. They are old because they use OMAP3. Thirdly, the N900 is not abandoned, I, and many other people, still have and use their N900, and there's an active community working on it. Not to mention the myriad of other OMAP3 boards out there, and even some DaVinci boards that have the same DSP. The only other DSP-related interface that has a chance of making it to upstream, is remoteproc, and as you can see, it doesn't have TI, or OMAP, or DSP in it's name, so it can't possibly interfere with tidsp. Possibly in the future tidspbridge would be converted to remoteproc, and probably there would be a v4l2 interface to it. But there's a long way to go for that to happen. In the meantime, libtidsp is here, and it works, and there's no other interface that is in the vanilla Linux kernel today, nor in the planed near, or far future. There's only tidspbridge, and remoteproc, that's it.
