This document discusses making an LED panel using a Genesi EfikaMX smarttop board and two LED panels. It involves creating a GStreamer plugin to manage the LED panels with 32x16 pixels each using an RGB video stream. The plugin would take video input and overlay text to display on the LED panels. While the board was previously supported, the current kernel no longer supports it.
