Description: #
libxcoder is the userland library of the NETINT Quadra video processing units (VPU), a family of PCIe cards that decode, encode (H.264, H.265, AV1, JPEG), scale and run AI inference on video in hardware. FFmpeg and GStreamer plugins use it to drive the card. The card is a standard NVMe device: libxcoder sends its commands through the Linux-compatible passthrough ioctls of nvme(4). No extra kernel driver is needed.

pkg-message: #
For install:
The Quadra card is an NVMe controller (e.g. /dev/nvme1 and /dev/nvme1n1). libxcoder opens both nodes, which are root-only by default. To let the members of a group (here "video") use the card, add to /etc/devfs.rules: [localrules=10] add path 'nvme1' mode 0660 group video add path 'nvme1n1' mode 0660 group video then set devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" in /etc/rc.conf and run "service devfs restart". Use the unit numbers of your Quadra card: ni_rsrc_list shows them. Do not give access to your system disks. libxcoder keeps its lock and shared memory files in /tmp (NI_LCK_*). quadra_fw_upgrade (with nvmefw) flashes the card's firmware. Run it with -n first (dry run).
