View Full Version : x264 for ARM questions

Hello,
I noticed that support for ARM (neon) has been added to x264 relatively recently...
I have the following questions:
- should that work for SA1111 without optimization ?
- what's the right arguments for "configure" to perform cross compilation for ARM on i386 32bit system?

Thanks,
vl

Yes, it'll work on any ARM chip, but a StrongARM will be really slow since it doesn't have NEON and it's ARMv4 iirc.

For cross-compiling, the key options are --host and --cross-prefix. For a CodeSourcery toolchain, for instance, use --host=arm-none-linux --cross-prefix=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

By default x264 will build with NEON optimizations, so if you're going to be building for a StrongARM you'll have to specify --extra-cflags=-mcpu=strongarm1110 or similar.

Is there any compiled binary? Just for fun :) Want to test perfomance of my PNA.

Can anyone confirm it'll work on the new HTC HD2, with Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 (ARMv7-core @ 1024MHz), and would the performance be reasonable ?
