How to check whether i.MX6Q GPU acceleration is valid.

Hi community,

I have a question about i.MX6Q GPU.

I consider using Qt GUI with Linux system.

Then, I want to check whether CPU acceleration is valid or not for drawing Qt GUI.

Could you let me know how to check it?

Actually, I came up with two methods as below, but I cannot judge to "GPU acceleration is valid" with both methods.

----------

1. Check whether OpenGL ES libraries (e.g. ligGAL.so, libEGL.so, libVIVANTE.so, etc...) are loaded when Qt process is running.

I can understand what libraries is loaded, but cannot conclude to "GPU acceleration is valid".

2. Check CPU load by top command when GPU sample program (gpu_sdk_v1.00.tar.gz) is running.

I can guess "maybe, GPU acceleration is valid because CPU load is low", but cannot conclude.

----------

Best Regards,

Satoshi Shimoda

Yes, it should be accelerated by GPU, in order to see how much (in numbers) is accelerated, you can check it with the vProfiler tool,

If you already have the GPU_SDK, please check the Documentation folder, in order to use the profiler, if not You can download the vivante tools from:
