How can i use hardware accelerator Encode and Decode x.264?

Hi, I recently bought a banana pi bpi-m64 and want to use hardware accelerator encode and decode.
Install Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel version 3.10.105 on my board.
My goal is encode and decode raw data with this hardware.
How can i do this?
also need to change kernel modules and enable hardware?
ffmpeg library is a good things? Or Banana Org has a library for this?
tnx
