Hardware decoding with Secure Data Path support for AOSP in HiKey 960 board
#2

Could you please give context and what to you want to achieve? Where did you get this list of files ?
AFAIK Hikey960 uses Google software video decoding/encoding.

I am trying to enable hardware decoding on HiKey960 board. In order to achieve that I need the files libstagefrighthw.so and libOMX_Core.so, so that they can communicate with the hardware layer (hi_vdec) and do the hardware based decoding if I am not wrong.

FYI: I am using the latest AOSP source for HiKey960

Ok, I understand now. Hardware video decoding support has been recently merged, at least at Linux kernel level. But I’m not sure the user-space Hisilicon propietary binary blobs are available yet. @jstultz, any info?

Vdec binaries are now available here:

I’ve got a commit pending that will point to the download at build time if its missing to make this easier to find.

Thanks @jstultz & @Loic for your help. Now I am able to play the video using hardware decoding.
