Hi,
This is the first public release of gst-dsp; a native GStreamer plug-in to
access Texas Instruments' DSP algorithms for OMAP3 platforms.
The code came originally from a series of TI projects: tiopenmax[1], and
libbridge[2]. gst-dsp replaces these two layers and talks directly to the DSP
bridge driver.
The main advantages are code simplification (5k vs 50k), and better performance
(at least 4 times less CPU usage). However, not all of the codecs have been
implemented, only MPEG-4 and H.263 video encoders and decoders, the JPEG
encoder, and H.264 is partially supported.
Currently it's used in the Nokia N900.
In order to make it easier for people to try it out, I created a demo image for
the beagleboard with all the required components: GStreamer, gst-dsp, DSP
public binaries, and a kernel with DSS2 and DSP bridge driver.
The linux kernel (DSS2 + dspbridge) is at the v2.6.32-felipec1 tag in:
http://gitorious.org/~felipec/linux-omap/felipec
The DSP algorithms are public, and come from tiopenmax:

Here's the demo rootfs with the kernel image and instructions:

And here's the video showing it on action for both playback and recording:

The main repository is hosted on github:

And there's also one specific for maemo:

This code wouldn't have been possible without all the contributions and
specially thanks to TI for making their code open source.
Here's the shortlog for 0.6.0:
