ArmSoM-Sige7(RK3588): MPP Environment Configuration

ArmSoM-Sige7(RK3588): MPP Environment Configuration

1. Introduction

The Media Process Platform (MPP) provided by Rockchip is a general media processing software platform suitable for Rockchip chip series.

The platform shields the complex underlying processing related to chips for application software. Its purpose is to shield the differences between different chips and provide application developers with a unified video media processing interface (Media Process Interface, abbreviated as MPI).

The functions provided by MPP include:

  • Video decoding
    H.265/H.264/H.263/VP9/VP8/MPEG-4/MPEG-2/MPEG-1/VC1/MJPEG

  • Video encoding
    H.264/VP8/MJPEG

  • Video processing

  • Video copy, Scaling, Color space conversion, Deinterlace

2. Environment Introduction

  • Hardware environment:
    ArmSoM-Sige7 RK3588 development board

  • Software version:
    OS: ArmSoM-Sige7 Debian11

3. RK3588 MPP Environment Configuration

  • Utility tools
    MPP provides some unit test tools that can test the software/hardware platform and the MPP library itself:

    mpp_info_test: read and print MPP library version info
    mpp_buffer_test: test kernel memory allocator 
    mpp_mem_test: test C library memory allocator
    mpp_runtime_test: test some software and hardware on runtime environment 
    mpp_platform_test: read and test chip platform info
    

3.4. Run mpp_dec_test to check mpp installation:

mpp_dec_test
