Integrate ICS Ducatii Blobs

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Integrate Panda MM Binaries into linaro-android Build for ICS" for updated plans.

TI has released Ducatti blobs. We will work with AOSP to integrate these into Linaro's Android build based on AOSP's kernel running Linaro's Toolchain and the stock AOSP build from Linaro. These blobs will allow us to offer accelerated video decode and encode in the Linaro AOSP panda builds.

From TI:

- This wednesday we have released the Ducati Binary blobs on the TI OMAPZoom git for ICS.

- They are available at:
http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=device/ti/proprietary-open.git;a=summary
They are in the ics-mr0 folder.

NOTE:

- They have 'not' been verified on Panda (they are on Blaze/ BlazeTablet -- like the rest of the OMAPZoom ICS codebase).

- The ducati binaries are redistributable (i.e.., can be included in your trees along with the license file)

- The current makefile implementation installs for all board types – which isn’t ideal and will cause issues later, but it works for now. We will be updating it later to be driven by the board configuration. When that happens, you will need to add a line to their custom board definitions to pick it up.
