OpenMAX AL implementation for Linux

The goal of the project was to create a fully featured OpenMAX AL implementation based on Linux gstreamer. The implementation uses gstreamer and its plugins to provide actual audio and video playback, recording capabilities and support for various formats.

OpenMAX IL implementation to Linux

The goal of the project was to design and implement OpenMAX IL compatible drivers for a set of video codecs - including H263, H264, MPEG4 - and image codecs for a leading embedded multimedia IP vendor. Project tasks included the design and implementation of an integration layer for existing codecs, and extension of the Bellagio OpenMAX IL implementation to support new codecs.

OpenGL ES 2.0 software implementation

The goal of the project was to specify, design, implement and test a software implementation of the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification for a new multi-core DSP platform; something that was considered by many as an impossible feat.

The Symbio project team worked in close cooperation with the customer, and in addition to providing a compliant standard and high-quality implementation, the team was also able to provide valuable feedback and suggestions to improve the new command set of the platforms and the overall system design.

Open GL ES 2.0 UI demo development to ARM

The goal of the project was to improve the quality of an existing OpenVG driver and port it from WinCE to embedded Linux. As the project was on the customer's critical path, the Symbio project team worked in close cooperation with the customer. In addition to providing high-quality drivers, the team was able to provide valuable feedback and suggestions for improvements and further development of the driver.
