The advancements of high resolution display technologies support applications ranging from mobile multimedia streaming to automotive cockpits and infotainment systems. Given the limited transmission and processing resources in a mobile communication context, a large number of upscaling methods for restoring high-resolution visual content from low-resolution representations have been proposed and assessed from a theoretical point of view. This paper, therefore, deals with the practical implementation of state-of-the-art upscaling methods on development boards. The proposed tool chain and solutions may be applied as a general framework for the implementation of current and future upscaling methods on resource limited devices.
