Hello,

I would recommend using OpenGL examples on the Linux SDK for TDA4VM. You can build your own OpenGLES code and run it in Linux as you would on any other platform. There are a few examples in the PowerVR SDK, which you can see here: https://developer.imaginationtech.com/powervr-sdk/

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Erick

Hi,
Am new to this zone, Are you referring to OpenGL or GLES. Am little confused between the 2. GLES is for embedded system specific right!? But OpenGL specifications still apply for TDA4VM? As you have mentioned both.

Hello,

Apologies, yes I meant GLES (also known as OpenGL ES). As a simple introduction, GLES is a subset of OpenGL for embedded systems. If you have code written in OpenGL, it may be possible to write it for GLES as long as all of the functionality you use is compatible.

For TDA4VM, all implementations of your applications should be written in GLES for compatibility with the graphics drivers provided.

Erick
