JPEG hardware decoding is not working

I'm currently using the i.MX8MP chip. The official documentation says it has a G1 core that supports JPEG hardware encoding. Why does the sample program throw an error?

@SomeZcom did you solve this issue? I’m also using the i.MX8MP and would like to decode JPEG using the hardware decoder.

Ideally I’d use the v4l2 interface to the Video Processing Unit but I’ll take whatever works.

I’m also interested in encoding JPEG in hardware although I’m not sure the VC8000E encoder supports JPEG
