Component	Comment	Issue link
*1 HW video codecs	H265 video decoder uses CPU to copy/detile buffers, which impacts performance
SDCARD Boot time	2+ boot takes 56s

Building on Ubuntu 23.10 requires downloading extra packages that are not available via apt install:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

H264 and H265 hardware codec support added. CPU is still copy buffers, so performance is poor.

[rsglobal]

Added H264 encoder and improved H264 decoder performance.

I thought by default GloDroid built external-camera HAL so USB could work assuming that the camera is in /dev/camera2 and above ?
