The encoder buffer serves as a cache for reference frames during the encoding process. The encoder buffer significantly reduces the bandwidth requirement for read accesses on the AXI ports of the VCU, but slightly reduces the quality of the encoded video. The encoder buffer must be configured as a whole during the firmware initialization and later explicitly enabled for every channel that shall use the encoder buffer. Prior to firmware version 2019.2, it was necessary to explicitly set the size of the encoder buffer for every channel. Since 2019.2 it is sufficient to enable the encoder buffer and leave the rest to the firmware. Therefore, only support the encoder buffer for firmware 2019.2 and later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
