This is a rewrite (likely to remove the issues), and the new thing is that now the codec implementation is done as a plugin. Clearly not the same source code (without the issues), but a rewrite.

Cedrus (the name of the reverse engineering effort) _still_ (by this date) supports more codecs and has more information about the hardware than in the content of what was released. http://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus http://linux-sunxi.org/VE_Register_guide http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX/Reverse_Engineering As seeing by the above progress history, in about a few months will be 2 years already. But only what we got was to be ignored. And have to listen the multiples begging for allwinner to open source the proprietaries libraries. And for what? Reversing engineering is the fun an enjoyable part. Writing a proper driver (that nobody appears to recognize the need), is the boring part. -- Manuel Braga -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
