AM3517: How to improve the perfomance for Qt 2D and PowerVR 3D

Guru 10085 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hi.
My customer has
AM3517EVM with the latest SDK for AM3517
and refers this site;
Building Qt with OpenGL ES accelerated by SGX.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_Qt_with_OpenGL_ES_accelerated_by_SGX

They would like to improve the perfomance for Qt 2D and PowerVR 3D,
because the output image combined PowerVR:3D and Qt: 2D including
animations is flickering as attached AVI file.
 2816.qt_powerVR.AVI

I'm not familiar with this issue however my customer really needs to know
how to improve it ASAP.

My customer's powervr.ini and output of the gfx_check.sh script are here.
7043.gfx_check.txt

powervr.ini
----------------------------------------------------------- [default] #WindowSystem=libpvrPVR2D_FRONTWSEGL.so #WindowSystem=libpvrPVR2D_FLIPWSEGL.so #WindowSystem=libpvrQWSWSEGL.so WindowSystem=libpvrPVR2D_BLITWSEGL.so ParamBufferSize=33554432 -----------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions or info of the divice limitation would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kanae
  • For Qt/e to work with SGX as backend (ie, -display powervr), the powervr.ini is not correct - refer to below link for the correct setting.

    - Need an explanation of what Qt widget is used to draw the screen, and how the 3D and 2D are merged.
