Hi,
I have few basic questions about Mali packages.
Please understand my lack of understanding in this field.
My company designed a new board in purpose of playing HD videos on Linux DirectFB envionment.And the video player would may be VLC player.
In my case which packages are required for the best graphic performance?
OpenGL ES can enhance the graphic performance?
Does it because fbdev uses 3D APIs?
If 3D APIs are not required, can I replace OpenGL ES with OpenCL?
Additionally do I need to port OpenCL to enable NEON? Or NEON can be utilized without OpenCL or OpenGL ES?
PLEASE please help me.
Project time schedule is quite desperating..
Thank you.
Just to check:
You say you're working on a board - Have you selected an SoC yet, or are you looking to base your decision on what features you need for this use case?
If you don't yet have an SoC in mind, a good starting place is here: Mali GPUs in devices. You'll find some info on Mali SoCs well suited for various types of end product.

Hi, Stacy
Soc is selected and temporary boards are released.
Our board has T6xx Mali.
And I have received Open GL ES from SoC vendor already.
I wanted to make sure whether I can reach to the best graphic performance without OpenCL.
Thank you for your answer.

You probably won't need OpenCL, but the Mali GPU isn't a video decode accelerator, so I'm not sure the Mali GPU driver is really what you after. Video != Graphics.
