Broadcom libraries and SDK for Raspberry pi

[ankit.garg]

Hi!

I want to develop my own media player using Raspberry pi model 2 and I am wondering if buying an Raspberry pi model 2 also gives me the access to its complete Software development kit (which includes cross compilation tools) and the broadcom libraries which I can use to capture events from the broadcom chip while decoding the mpeg2 content on the chipset.

I understand that for decoding the mpeg2 content I need to buy a license for it.

TIA

All the available code is on github, which gives you everything you need. Only fly in the ointment is the documentation isn't fantastic for what you want to do, but look up OpenMAX, which is the APi used, or search for MMAL which is a Broadcom library, easier to use than OpenMAX.
