  • Allwinner VPU Bootlin linux kernel upstream kickstarter

    The guys that submitted lots of DRM patches and stuff for allwinner to Linux kernel are doing a kickstarter to add support for hardware decoding h264, h265 etc and for it to be upstreamed to Linux kernel: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...l-linux-kernel

    The campaign is already funded and well into its second stretch goal.
    I wonder why Michael hasn't picked that up yet.

    Bootlin(formerly Free Electrons) is a model citizen for a third party software contractor doing work on the kernel, be it on a contract with a hardware vendor or independent funding like this kickstarter. And the budget involved looks like pocket money for someone like Allwinner...
