+title: Apple Video Decoder (AVD)
+
+description: |
+  AVD is a stateless video decode IP block present on Apple devices.
+  Notably it includes an ARM Cortex-M3 and associated DMA controller.
+  AVD is capable of decoding H264, H265, VP9 and AV1 on never SoCs.
+
+  The IP does not change much, with changes being mostly the CM3 having more
+  memory and interrupts.
