Hi all, I am running openwrt on my RPI4, i also am running a few CCTV cameras using frigate on the same Pi, Is there a possibility to use the onboard GPU for acceleration? since /dev/dri is absent on OpenWRT.
Unrelated side question, Would the onboard GPU on an AMD A10-9700E(Radeon R7) be usable in openwrt? I found that intel igpus are available by defaultl, couldn't find results for AMD APUs
For hardware decoding on the RPi4 you will need a patched ffmpeg and kernel mods. I do not know if the needed commits for the kernel are included. It would be a bit of work. As to an AMD gpu, you would need the kernel modules (amdgpu I think?) and maybe some other packages. I do not know.
The only safe way to use GPU's especially older / unmaintained / legacy hardware is via a separate VM.

DISCONTINUATION OF PROJECT.
This project will no longer be maintained by Intel.
This project has been identified as having known security escapes.
Intel has ceased development and contributions including, but not limited to, maintenance, bug and security fixes, new releases, or updates, to this project.
Old AMD and broadcom are likely worse. IMHO, all gpu drivers should be removed from openwrt.
