Has anybody tested the new Graphics SDK which should enable SGX on kernel 3.12?

As the title states… has anybody tried?

Hi,

I haven’t tried the links you posted below, but I played around tonight with the latest bits in the arago project and now I have accelerated 3D graphics support on a beaglebone black. Using the beaglebone black BSP support in meta-ti, I get a 3.12.4 Linux kernel and then I built the arago-base-tisdk-image as root filesystem. Result is a beaglebone black which displays accelerated 3D graphics on the display connected over HDMI, so the SGX drivers are now available för the 3.12 kernel (in arago) but still not packaged nicely for the BBB I guess.

Regards
Daniel

Using ti-linux-kernel 3.12.y branch, SGX works with Robert Nelson’s omap-image-builder. I followed the e2e link below but I had no luck getting SGX working on V3.8.

Thank you this is a very good news for me!

When I’ll finish with RT part I’ll try QT5 on BBB…

I think everyone in the group (who isn’t headless) would love to see some benchmark results!

Would you be willing to walk me through this process or make a blog post about it?
