hal_h264d_api: Assertion failed at hal_h264d_init ... hard mode error

[AndreVallestero]

I'm trying to make a script to run on the Pinebook Pro and I'm having mpp errors while trying to leverage it in ffmpeg. I'm not sure what might be causing the error but according to THIS THREAD , compiling with `-DHAVE_DRM='ON` should resolve it (which it doesn't in my case). I'm using the 20171218 release of rkmpp and ffmpeg 4.2. Any help is appreciated.

mmp build:

cmake -DHAVE_DRM='ON' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING='Release' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/usr' \ -DRKPLATFORM:BOOL='ON' -Wno-dev \ -DAVSD_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DH264D_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DH265D_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DJPEGD_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DMPI_DEC_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPI_ENC_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPI_RC2_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DMPI_RC_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPI_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_BUFFER_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DMPP_ENV_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_INFO_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_LOG_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DMPP_MEM_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_PACKET_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_PLATFORM_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DMPP_TASK_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DMPP_THREAD_TEST:BOOL='OFF' -DVP9D_TEST:BOOL='OFF' \ -DVPU_API_TEST:BOOL='OFF' ..

    }

The value of  `hard_mode` is 0 when it fails. The error goes on to say "failed to find device for coding 7 type 0".
