Or maybe use an FPGA so we can design our own hardware-accelerated graphics functions, and it can double for some other purposes too. OpenGraphics is starting that way (spartan 3 if memory serves). They are cheap. Not sure if they are low-power enough to use in a phone. What about the XScale accelerators? There was one designed specifically as a companion to the PXA270. Are they more open? My Zaurus has a TC6393; it has line-drawing and rectangle-filling in hardware. I have used it successfully for those tasks. But that's not much acceleration. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
