| | 5 | The IMX6 contains 2D and 3D GPU support from Vivante with some variations based on the specific IMX SoC: |
| | 6 | * IMX6DUAL/QUAD: |
| | 7 | - Vivante GC2000 (3D GPU) |
| | 8 | * Clock: 600-800MHz (the IMX6 clocks this at 533MHz) |
| | 9 | * 176Mtri/s |
| | 10 | * 1000Mpxl/s |
| | 11 | * OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.0 |
| | 12 | * OpenCL 1.1 EP |
| | 13 | * Cores: 1 |
| | 14 | * Shaders: 4 (Vec-4) and 16 (Vec-1) |
| | 15 | - Vivante GC355 (2D GPU - vector graphics) |
| | 16 | * 300Mpxl/s |
| | 17 | * OpenVG 1.1 |
| | 18 | - Vivante GC320 (2D GPU - blit) |
| | 19 | * 600Mpxl/s |
| | 20 | * IMX6DUALLITE/SOLO: |
| | 21 | - Vivante GC880 GPU |
| | 22 | * Clock: 600-800MHz (the IMX6 clocks this at 400MHz) |
| | 23 | * 53Mtri/s |
| | 24 | * 266Mpxl/s |
| | 25 | * OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.0 |
| | 26 | * Cores: 1 |
| | 27 | * Shaders: 1 (Vec-4) and 4 (Vec-1) |
| | 28 | * OpenVG 1.1 (no GC320 on this SoC, so 2D vector graphics is through the GC880) |
| | 29 | - Vivante GC320 (2D GPU - blit) |
| | 30 | * 600Mpxl/s |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | According to Freescale this GPU supports the following open standards: |
| | 33 | * OpenCL 1.1 Embedded Profile (EP) (Open Computing Language - framework for writing programs that execute across a heterogeneous platform consisting of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, etc) |
| | 34 | * OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 (Open Graphics Library - for 2D and 3D vector graphics) |
| | 35 | * OpenVG 1.1 (Vector Graphics Acceleration) |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | Software Support: |
| | 38 | * Yocto BSP packages: |
| | 39 | - gpu-viv-bin-mx6q |
| | 40 | - xf86-video-imxfb-vivante - accelerated X11 server using the GPU |
