Created a demo Python script using Pygame <http://pygame.org/>. Ran the script remotely on the BBB and discovered that the framebuffer can be accessed by technologies other than QT Embedded (C/C++ only), however DirectFB <http://www.directfb.org/> had to be used since access to the driver API (EGL 2) is restricted to QT Embedded. Somewhat strange that the driver supplied by TI has a library dedicated to QT Embedded (special treatment), yet other technologies use the other libraries supplied by the driver. Comes across as underhanded that other technologies except for QT Embedded aren't given proper support.
TI *SHOULD* be following Google's example with Android by providing equal API access to all regardless of the specific technology that is used. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
