V4L2 stateless decoder for Pi 5, backed by sibling
daedalus-fourier kernel library (VP9 + AV1 CDEF + H.264 video
decode kernels on VideoCore VII compute + ARM NEON).
Architecture locked 2026-05-18 by mfritsche per
daedalus-fourier/docs/phase8_scoping.md:
- Option B: Linux kernel V4L2 shim + userspace daemon (not
v4l2loopback). Real /dev/videoNN; proper DRM PRIME for
browser zero-copy.
- Option γ: dlopen FFmpeg at runtime as parser. No vendoring;
fastest to v1.
- Sibling repo (this repo): V4L2-side work outside of
daedalus-fourier so kernel-library API stays clean.
Components:
kernel/ - Linux out-of-tree kernel module (GPLv2; V4L2
device + chardev bridge to userspace daemon)
daemon/ - userspace decoder daemon (BSD-2-Clause; links
libdaedalus_core.a from sibling; dlopens FFmpeg)
docs/ - architecture + 7-phase roadmap (8.1..8.7)
include/ - shared headers between kernel and daemon
Roadmap (7 sub-phases, ~1 week each):
8.1 kernel skeleton (/dev/videoNN with no-op ioctls)
8.2 chardev bridge (kernel ↔ daemon ping-pong)
8.3 daemon FFmpeg dlopen + parse path
8.4 VP9 end-to-end via daedalus_dispatch_*
8.5 dmabuf / DRM PRIME for zero-copy
8.6 AV1 + H.264 codec support
8.7 performance: hit 30fps@1080p (project floor)
No code yet — only README + design docs + directory structure.
First implementation work starts in Phase 8.1 next session.
