Bootlin Wraps Up Feature Development On The Allwinner Cedrus VPU Driver

Not needed as the camera module does that task. And way more power efficiently than some old Broadcomm chip.

Don't know about camera modules that do h264 encoding. I tried with the BananaPi one, the NanoPI and the Raspi. Not one of them encodes the stream in h264 directly.

Actually, it seems to be already fixed in revision 1.2 boards that have been showing up here and there. But yes, the foundation says nothing about it because they likely have original revision boards in the sales pipeline that they do not want to Osbourne.

I don't get it.
For one, the Foundation is completely downplaying the USB-C power issue, saying it is no big deal. And in the same thread they boast selling as many RPi4 as they can make. (Translation: "We don't care, because we don't have to.")
On the other hand, they refuse to give information about the fixed revisions because people would hold off on buying RPi4 (the Osborning)? If it was no big deal as they claim, why would masses of people stop buying the device?

without accelerated rendering they render on cpu. cpu performance is also not strong part of alwinner
