Product Details
The Blackfin 2D Graphics Library (BF2DGL) is a collection of Graphics primitives to help solve the Graphics rendering problem of ADI-Blackfin users. These primitives have been optimized to run on the Analog Devices’ Blackfin BF-5xx processor family. All the primitives can be drawn in ARGB format while a limited set of the primitives is also supported in UYVY format. The primitives are based on Open GL-ES/OpenCV APIs and they are supported with wrapper example code for OpenGL-ES/OpenCV, GLUT and extended APIs. A demonstration code is also provided to demonstrate the usage of the various graphics rendering primitives on Blackfin.
The module contains a standard C-callable API. The code has been implemented using Instruction Cache, Data Cache and Memory DMA to optimize the graphics rendering performance.
