This paper utilized the HW-SW codesign method to implement the H.264 decoder in an SoC with an ARM core, a multimedia processor and a deblocking filter coprocessor. For the parallel processing features of the multimedia processor, clock cycles of decoding process can be dramatically reduced. And the hardware dedicated deblocking filter coprocessor can improve the efficiency a lot. With maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz, the whole system can achieve real time processing speed and flexibility.展开更多
