Hi, When reading the specs for the TI OMAP processor, it mentions support for OpenGL ES 1.1. I am currently working on 3D OpenGL applications and have a framework library for displaying 3D graphical objects and would like to port this application to use OpenGL ES. Is support for OpenGL ES available in terms of a linux library, which I can use to run my 3D OpenGL application? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Elvis Dowson |

The current SDK only provides GLes support, so you'd have to modify your application to work it that. Apart from that, there are a few roadblocks for using the SGX on the overo: * The current overo uses the 3503, while only the 3515 and 3530 have the SGX * The SDK isn't available for a recent kernel, only for 2.6.22 and possibly 2.6.24 * The binaries I was able to test (on a beagleboard) were quite unstable There's work being done on getting the GPL'ed kernel modules out there and working with a recent kernel, but I don't know the progress on that. There also have been rumours about using a 3530 in newer generation overos, but as I said, are just rumours. regards, Koen |

Hi Don, The specs for the TI OMAP 3530 mentions hardware acceleration support for OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0. How exactly will that be supported on the Overo and in Linux? I have worked with standard OpenGL before on Mac OS X and Windows. I've never used OpenGL ES before, so now sure what it takes to write a small OpenGL ES application on a TI OMAP 3530 running Linux. Would you happen to have some pointers to information on how one can go about writing OpenGL apps for OMAP 3530?

Hi Elvis Gumstix plans to make our information for the OMAP 3530-based Overo available once we release that product. Prior to that date, you may want to check the TI information posted on their website.
