Hi there!
We are developing a Qt graphic application running on an omap 3530 board. We have observed that animations of big graphic items appear a bit glitchy. This is definetly due to high cpu load, presumably related to the expensive/slow copy of images to the frame buffer. We believe that using the DMA capabilities of the hardware things should go more smoothly.
Qt documentation (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt-embedded-accel.html) suggests writing a custom screen driver and overloading the blit routine. Has anybody attempted this (succesfully)? Have you observed a substantial improvement in performance?
Thanks!
