What kind of API is available on your SOC for codec access? Some
proprietary API or OpenMAX IL or maybe even video4linux2?

In any case, the best advice for writing new plugins after reading the
documentation would be to read the code of plugins that do similar
things than what you try to do. gst-omx, the androidmedia plugin from
gst-plugins-bad or the v4l2 plugin from gst-plugins-good might be a good
start.
