The i.MX27 (used on the APF27) has an internal DSP which can be used to encode/decode video stream, coming from various sources (CSI, buffer, etc...). To use it Freescale provides some useful tools.

==Installation==
<pre class="host">
$ make freescale-tools
</pre>
* then reflash your rootfs and you will get some stuff in ''/usr/bin/vpu/''

==Usage==
''mxc_vpu_test.out'' (yeah Freescale has strange ways to name its executables ;-) ) allows you to decode/encode video streams.
This tool needs a configuration file (some are given as examples).
<pre class="apf">
# mxc_vpu_test.out -c codec.cfg.net.enc.vga.h264
</pre>
