Does Intel Atom support OpenVG?


Some time ago, I read some rumors on hardware implementation of OpenVG in Intel Atoms of a "new ganeration". Now I cannot find any evidence. So, is there at least some plans to support OpenVG at all?


Solution

  • The answer: Yes.

    Announced Intel Atom Z6xx is a SoC (System-on-a-Chip), that includes GMA 600 graphical core. GMA 600 is able to accelerate OpenVG as well as OpenGL. I'm not sure this acceleration makes any sense, but it is supported.
