Install FFmpeg

To use the VPU for video processing, a custom application using the libxcoder API needs to be created. Alternatively FFmpeg will need to be installed. The VPU device may also require a firmware upgrade, depending on how you access the VPU device your service provider may have to perform the upgrade on your behalf.

1. Install required packages

   sudo apt-get update 
   sudo apt-get install pkg-config git gcc make g++ yasm nvme-cli

2. Clone the libxcoder Github repo

   git clone https://github.com/NETINT-Technologies/netint_ffmpeg
   cd netint_ffmpeg

3. Build FFmpeg with Support NETINT's Quadra VPU.

   bash build_ffmpeg.sh

See options using bash build_ffmpeg.sh -h

4. Update libraries and install FFmpeg

   sudo ldconfig
   sudo make install
