HAOS on ODROID N2 + and H264 hardware decoding

[alainvdu69]

Hi !
My hardware is an 'HA Blue', an Odroid N2 Plus with a pretty case sold by HA many years ago.
But i have CPU struggle with many cameras (3 !) driven by Frigate.
The root cause : no hardware H264 enabled with FFMPEG provided by Frigate ... and the CPUs did the decoding.

Frigate dev say : it's not our fault, the " ... support for odroid N2 is not built into the mainline kernel. ".
It sound very strange ...

I've tried to find in the bootlog if the kernel is compiled with hw accel enabled ... nothing.
And with HAOS, the terminal didn't provide FFMPEG or other tools to check.

So, who can answer my question : hw accel enabled for the Odroid N2 + ?

thanks.

Unfortunately, HAOS build for ODROID N2 doesn't support HW encoding/decoding, as there is no mainline kernel implementation of the driver needed for the RKMPP framework. HAOS strictly uses mainline kernel source, so unless someone implements the proprietary Rockchip API for the mainline kernel (which seems unlikely at this time), you wouldn't be able to use HW acceleration on this board.

There is a Rockchip chip on the Odroid n2+ board ?
