This repo extends the FSL Community BSP with an additional Yocto layer to support the i.MX6 based MarS Board
It all started in 2014 with a .dts and defconfig by Hariharan Veerappan.
Full docs are in the wiki
Test Setup

Test Cases
Video Playback on HDMI
A 1080p clip is played (audio+video) on HDMI with sound and about 5% CPU load:
gst-play-1.0 big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
You must first downlaod the clip from the internet, e.g. by typing
wget https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
Video Streaming Playback
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=http://docs.gstreamer.com/media/sintel_trailer-480p.webm ! imxipuvideotransform ! imxipuvideosink
Video Recording from USB Webcam
An UVC compliant webcam with motionJPEG output was used (Microsoft LifeCam Studio). The video stream is re-coded in H.264 and wrapped in a good old .avi container.
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'image/jpeg,width=640,height=480' ! imxvpudec ! imxipuvideotransform ! imxvpuenc_h264 ! avimux ! filesink location=cam.avi
The .avi file can be viewed using
gst-play-1.0 cam.avi
Qt
On the build host bitbake shell enter:
bitbake image-multimedia-full-with-qt
and install that image on the board.
On the board console enter:
Qt5_CinematicExperience -platform eglfs
and watch the demo on HDMI monitor.
More examples are installed in parallel folders.
GPU3D
OpenGL ES 2.0 (GLES2) is available for HW accelerated 3D rendering. As the images do not include a window manager, full screen rendering is supported based on EGL.
