There is no GPU on these chips, so while they can easily drive an HDMI display from a framebuffer, there will be little or no 2D or 3D acceleration unless you build a GPU from FPGA gates. So video performance will be pretty bad (compared to an ARM SoC with a Linux supported GPU). ...but it might be good enough with the proper user interface. I'm still waiting for someone to make a non-3D interface for the BeagleBone that works well with the lower-resolution wide-screen HDMI input LCD screens available for cheap on eBay (ie: 7-inch 800x480). -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
