Hello Heikki, thank you for the informations!
Especially the link to the "gpu performance" thread is very interesting for me, because we're running a javafx project on top of FB based opengl. I didn't make the step to fido yet. So it's also interesting for me to hear about your success. Kind Regards Dirk Heikki Sarkanen schrieb: > Hello Andreas and Dirk, > > Nice to see other SMARC-sAMX6i users.
