There is different DSP stuff coming from TI. For OMAP they provide
OpenMAX IL wrappers for their DSP codecs, which in turn can be used in
GStreamer with gst-openmax.

I can't find any information regarding OpenMAX IL support for the
OMAP2420, but it's supposed to be supported:

Perhaps you can ask in customer support.

The video decompression is completely executed in DSP side.

They'll have to support OpenMAX IL.

I have been using these codecs for a while, but I don't know what's
the public status.
