Video Codec

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

  This is long shot more than anything else but are there any instances of a video coded (mp4, AVI or similar) ported over to the nordic/zephyr platform.  I can't see any examples on an internet search but I'm just checking before looking at a redesign of our product concept.

Cheers,

Neil

Forget it - processing and RAM requirements are off for at least one order of magnitude when considering mp4 codec or anything modern-ish.

The 128MHz NRF5340 is fully utilized just decoding MP3 audio at higher quality levels.

The old MPEG-1 stuff might be technically with limits, but I don't see a high speed interface that could handle raw video data on an NRF52832.

Hello,

  I thought that may be the case - there are tutorials on getting the ESP32 playing small 20fps AVI videos so I'll have to investigate that.  I preferred the Nordic because I would prefer a European designed chip but if it can't do what I need then it'll have to be the ESP32.

Cheers,

Read the fine print (or the source code). AVI is a container format that can contain a ton of different codecs.
