Anyone have been able to HW transcode on an Intel NUC 11 (Iris Xe)?

I need to make some clarifications. ( Thanks @Achilles )

We have walked through the posts here and pooled our knowledge into this post.

  1. You do not need Intel Compute Runtime (ICR) if you are NOT performing HW tonemapping.

  2. If you want Intel HW tonemapping.
    – HW Tone mapping currently only supported and validated with Ubuntu 20.04
    – Intel Compute Runtime 21.49 is installed for CometLake and above.
    – Beignet & OpenCL is installed for KabyLake & CoffeeLake

  3. Delineation:
    – Intel -9xxx, and below, CPUs you can still use the i965 video driver if you so choose to address iHD driver regressions (VC-1 macroblocking… which Intel is now working on)
    – Intel -10xxx and above must use the iHD driver.

  4. Alpha testing of Ubuntu 22.04 – DOES NOT YET WORK with HW tone mapping.
