Does MT8192 (Kompanio 820) have AV1 hardware decode?

Indeed Its not advertised.

This SoCs seem to be very nice.
However the situation is being improved on Mediatek SoCs support, they still lack a lot of support.
Probably they do have support but for Android devices, not openly in kernel mainline, which is a shame..

I could see a lot of SBC Computers using this SoCs, if they had good mainline support

Mediatek is also a RISC-V member.

I am optimistic they will at some point license RISC-V CPUs from somebody for their SoCs.

MediaTek is the SoC you will find in car audio applications most of the time. Good stuff.
