- Support for 2D GPU
- Complete ownership of BSP, Device drivers
SOLUTION
- Porting Linux kernel on the Cortex A5 core
- Implement/Port BSP for various modules on Linux
- Enable Inter-Core communication between A5 and M4, using Freescale proprietary library
- Accelerate Qt by 2D GPU with the interface of OpenVG
- Enable low power mode for A5, M4 and M0
FEATURES
- Qt is accelerated by the 2D GPU (with the OpenVG interface)
- Supports displays on dual panel
BENEFITS
- Qt is accelerated by the 2D GPU (with the interface of OpenVG)
- Dual panel display support
- Device boot-up time optimized to 2-3 seconds
- Beta BSP Modules available for free on Linux and FreeRTOS
- Extended support on request
