Part Number: DRA75

Tool/software: Linux

Does TI have collateral on how the different HW accelerators (e.g. SGX, BB2D, IVA) are used inside Linux SDK and how different SW components are working together to use these accelerators.

    Hi,

    The high level SW block diagram for Processor SDK Linux Automotive is available in Wiki:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php

    At a high level, SGX as 3D GPU is used by Weston compositor for OpenGLES composition. SGX is also available for rendering applications like navigation. IVA is used for all multimedia acceleration.

    BB2D is available as a standalone 2D graphics acceleration. It is exposed through G2D APIs but not integrated into other Linux SDK components.

    Regards,
    Anand
