CUSTOMER CHALLENGE The customer needed enablement from the scratch, for 2D GPU in a short span of time, and was also looking for quick development cycle (3-4 months). SCOPE

• Port Linux 3.10 on A5 core of NXP HALO and develop BSP (board support package) for multiple peripherals on the chipset
• 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
