The advantage of binding between Surface and Context.
by Hirokazu Honda
Hi,
According to libva document
(http://01org.github.io/libva_staging_doxygen/group__api__core.html#ga4af3...),
Surfaces are bound to a context if passing them as an argument when
creating the context.
Seeing intel-vaapi-driver code, the surfaces are just stored in
object_context.render_targets.
A surface processed by
vaBeginPicture()-vaRenderPicture()-vaEndPicture() are specified in
vaBeginPicture(). (object_context.current_render_target)
It looks like a surface can be processed using a context by being
specified in vaBeginPicture(), even if it is not bound to the context.
Here, my questions are below.
What is the advantage of binding?
In what circumstances do we need to associate the context with surfaces?
In which scenarios passing surfaces to vaCreateContext is required,
and in which it is not?
Best Regards,
Hirokazu Honda

Highlights:
* Bump VA-API version to 1.0.0 and libva to 2.0.0
* Add new API for H264 FEI support
* Add definition of VA_FOURCC_I420
* Add functions for converting common enums to strings

Questions on configuration for iHD driver.
by Paul Knopf
My company is using a Yocto solution (pyro) that is using meta-intel. By
default, it is using the i965 driver/vaapi. I need to switch to using iHD
for the added throughput, so that we can achieve 4k60fps.
I have followed Intel's guidance here:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/media-sdk/choose-download/embedded-iot
However, it is for jethro (older version of Yocto).
With that said, I need to find out which configuration (libraries) I should
update in my pyro solution to properly support the iHD driver.
I am finding little guidance on how to build a custom configuration that
supports iHD. There is just so many different
repors/forks/versions/dependencies, and little documentation.
I am using an i7 6th gen CPU (as 7th gen apparently isn't support by iHD).
My assumptions currently are:
- I must use a specific kernel. The supported jethro example uses 4.1. Is
this correct? Is it possible to use the 4.9 version supplied by meta-intel?
- I need to use the github.com/iotg-lin-gfx-* family of repositories. This
includes
- iotg-lin-gfx-mesa
- iotg-lin-gfx-libva
- iotg-lin-gfx-libdrm
Each of this repos contain an "m3" branch. How does this branch relate to
the iHD driver provided by intel? I'd like to use the R2.1 deliverable of
the msdk.
Another question, what is the iotg-lin-gfx-va-driver used for? It is fork
of the i965 driver? If so, why the fork?
Attached are my notes which details each configuration (supported jethro
and custom pyro).
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am currently lost in the ocean of forks
and versions! :)
