[oe] IGEPv2 with TI DSP codecs and GStreamer

[Andrea]

Hi Enric,
I'm working on two IGEPv2 boards we bought through the university of
Urbino (italy). We were able to run the DSP TI codecs on a BeagleBoard
sample with the 2.6.29 kernel from openembedded. But we still have
some problems with the IGEP boards.

What are the differences between your patched kernel and the one
mentioned above (recipes/linux/linux-omap_2.6.29.bb)?
Which DSS patches have been applied?
Should gstreamer and the DSP TI codecs work as far as you know? Is
there some guide to make it all work or are you still working on it?

The boot parameters we're using are as following:
bootargs-base=console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0
omapfb.mode=dvi:dvi:800x600MR-24 at 60 mem=99M omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M
omapfb.debug=y

We have patched the ti-dmai to support the IGEP board and we are
currently using a gstreamer pipe like this:
gst-launch filesrc location=/home/root/bak/video/luce.flv !
ffdemux_flv name=d d.video_00 ! TIViddec2 ! TIDmaiVideoSink
It works, but the video playback is very chunky and instable.
