title: Is there an open source H.264 implementation on FPGA?
body: <p>I want to design and implement an H.264 baseline/main profile encoder on FPGA for real-time HD video processing. To begin with, I am looking for design examples that would help me to understand the H.26 implementation on FPGA. Therefore, is there any open source project for this? I tried to search on Github, but found only <a href="https://github.com/bcattle/hardh264" rel="nofollow noreferrer">one</a> repository.</p>
  <p>Anybody who knows some information about this, please help me!</p>
  <p>And provide some information about:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>What are the essential technical skills required?</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>What is the best way to implement this?</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>As far as I know, we can write RTL-only codes or implement by HW/SW co-design.</p>
  <p>But I have no idea about what are the differences, what is better.</p>
