ARM Releases Free OpenMAX DL Sample Software Library

Provider of microprocessor Intellectual Property (IP), ARM has unveiled the source code for its sample implementation of OpenMAX DL (Development Layer) software library. The ARM OpenMAX DL software library supports the OpenMAX DL Application Programming Interface (API) specification, developed by the Khronos Group, the company said.

The Khronos OpenMAX DL API requires a software library that implements the functions it specifies. ARM’s sample OpenMAX DL software library provides source code written in C for platform portability and code readability, the company claimed.
The OpenMAX DL software library is said to add value to OEMs, ODMs and codec and middle providers by improving time-to-market for codecs, reducing software development costs and enabling silicon providers to offer an open-standards-based, the company said.
