New! USB Video Class Gadget Library - libguvc

The UVC Video Class Gadget Library or libguvc for short is a platform agnostic library that simplifies the development of UVC based gadget devices by encapsulating the most of the UVC communication leaving just the basic setup to the user. It runs on top of the UVC function driver in the user space and takes care of the communication between the user application and the linux driver stack.

GstShark Development Project

We have had numerous inquiries to our development wiki pages related to an internal product we called Gst-Tune. Gst-Tune was a performance tuning tool we developed internally to help diagnose GStreamer pipeline performance issues and to reduce latency and CPU consumption when developing our customers streaming media products. GstShark will be available as a product to our customers and built on the latest GStreamer 1.x framework.

OpenFD Full Release

Have you tried our OpenFD firmware loader?  All new Irazu based SDK's come with OpenFD support!

OpenFD (Open Firmware Deployer) is an open source tool that helps developers to deploy their firmware to a target board in a variety of ways. Most of the steps required to prepare a bootable SD card, flash programming, and other deployment scenarios, can be simplified and automated using OpenFD. It is designed for boards that run U-Boot as their bootloader, Embedded Linux as their kernel component, and requires a GNU/Linux host PC.
