Hardware acceleration for i.MX RT1050

siva_eic — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 07:31:02 GMT

Hi,

I have referred the NXP sites but related to hardware acceleration for i.MX RT1050 is not clear and could see the graphics acceleration for various MCUs.

i.MX RT Series: MCU/Applications Crossover MCUs | Arm® Cortex®-M7 | NXP Semiconductors

Could you please clarify me whether the hardware acceleration and graphics acceleration are same?

In general purpose computer we can enable hardware acceleration easily, like that we can do for i.MX RT MCU's.

Can you provide your comments on this.

Thanks,

Siva

Hi @siva_eic ,

Yes. RT1050 has PXP as hardware graphic accelerator.

Hi @jingpan

Thanks for the reply.

How can we use/enable PXP graphics accelerator?

Do we have any examples or documents related to hardware graphic accelerator?

Regards,

Siva

Hi @siva_eic ,

Yes, please download RT1050 SDK from mcuxpresso.nxp.com. It has all the RT1050 examples include PXP.
