Does avdec_vp8 use the VPU in IMX 6 ?

[jeromeh]

I'm trying to measure computation needs for a vp8 stream decoding in imx6 quad. I use the avdec_vp8 codec for that by I'm wondering if this codec use the vpu ?

No, avdec_* provides software decoders.

For imx vpu decoders, check out

It does not. However, you can use the imxvpudec element from
https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx for that.

No, it uses libav/ffmpeg's software decoder for VP8.

This GStreamer plugin here is able to use the VPU for various tasks
like decoding: https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx/
