I've spent a little time going through the excellent raspberry pi documentation site in order to build some man-pages for most of the utilities in the suite. Note that not all utilities are covered here (notably vchiq_test, mmal_vc_diag are missing) but I think it covers the most commonly used utilities. I've also included some auxilliary man-pages (in section 7) for information relevant to utilities like vcmailbox (covering things like the mailbox info from the wiki-page, and the OTP registers from the documentation site).
This repository contains the source code for the ARM side libraries used on Raspberry Pi. These typically are installed in /opt/vc/lib and includes source for the ARM side code to interface to: EGL, mmal, GLESv2, vcos, openmaxil, vchiq_arm, bcm_host, WFC, OpenVG.
Use buildme to build. It requires cmake to be installed and an ARM cross compiler. For 32-bit cross compilation it is set up to use this one: https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools/tree/master/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian
Whilst 64-bit userspace is not officially supported, some of the libraries will work for it. To cross compile, install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu and g++-aarch64-linux-gnu first. For both native and cross compiles, add the option --aarch64 to the buildme command.
Note that this repository does not contain the source for the edidparser and vcdbg binaries due to licensing restrictions.
