AM623: Technical inquiry regarding GPU enablement for AM625x migration from AM623x

Daniel Cheng1

Part Number: AM623
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM625

Hi Expert,

The customer is currently migrating their development from the AM623x to the AM625x using the Buildroot SDK. As the AM625x features an integrated hardware graphics accelerator, they would like to know the specific steps required to enable GPU support within the Buildroot environment. Please provide the necessary configuration changes for the kernel and the user-space libraries.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

I will discuss this with the dev team and see if we offer GPU support for the AM625 platform within the buildroot environment. Please allow a couple days for a response. Ping this thread if no response is given by end of the week.

Regards,

Shriya

Hi Daniel,

At this moment, we do not currently have GPU support in buildroot environments. I am discussing with the dev team when we will be able to offer support in the future, and will get back to you once we have support.

Shriya

Hi Shriya

Does TI have any recommendations or documentation on implementing GPU support in Buildroot? The customer is looking to develop this themselves and would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

I found a couple of patches from a colleague that could help with GPU enablement. You'll need to make some adjustments
for the source repository, but they should give you a good place to get started:
