so could you suggest me a reading in order to learn the hardware abstraction interface required by the OpenGL? thanks Marco 2012/6/14 mars > > On 2012年06月13日 17:49, Marco Guerrero wrote: > > so does the OpenGL ES rely on a specific hardware abstraction interface in > order to reach the hardware

actually, you do not have to implement copybit , but this module can accelerate your graphic application. e.g, color space convert, image stretch etc. and i should tell you the PXA310 has no GPU on it. how to implement egl in hardware? I think you may use the Wireless MMX technology to optim

yes, the system is no so fast and smoothly. Do I have to implement copybit? the CPU is a PXA310 by Marvell, I know I could build the copybit library starting from the WMMX2 graphical technology I actually do not know if this CPU has a GPU could you give me some tips on how to implement the elg

yes ofcourse no need, but the android will become such slowly without it. instead of it , it will load the software egl library. I want to know how is your ARMv5 running quite well without GPU? can launcher be smoothly with only ARMv5? or something like 3D game else? On 2012年06月11日 15:43, Ventan

[android-kernel] does ICS need GPU?

2012-06-11 Thread Ventanas
Hi All, I have intention to port ICS to an ARMv5 processor based platform where Android 2.3.7 (gingerbread) is running quite well. So I am wondering if the porting of Android 4.x to this platform is an impossible mission because my hardware does not include a graphical processor unit or any sp
