Video Decode Acceleration on Tegra K1

[Vayal]

I am trying to get Chromium running on a Tegra K1 based Jetson development board under Ubuntu 14.04. Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding is not enabled by default on Linux but I found that there are Chromebooks based on the same SoC with VDA. I cross compiled Chromium for ARM/ChromeOS following the instructions from: http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/building-chromium-browser and selecting BOARD as arm-generic. The actual board I was interested in was nyan_big, however there were no public builders available for non-generic boards and I had to use arm-generic. I was able to successfully build and run chromium and about:gpu shows "Video Decode: Hardware accelerated" however when I try to play a movie I get the following log message: 'ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(276)]: HW video decode not available for profile 11'. I tried the command line option --use-gl=egl and getting the same result. While I am still debugging to analyze the reason, any help to get video acceleration on this board is much appreciated. Thank you.

I have now successfully built chromium for the Jetson board with H/W accelerated Video Decoding and have documented the steps at: http://elinux.org/Tegra/Downstream_SW/Linux4Tegra/WebBrowsers/Hardware_Accelerated_Video_Decoding
