Does the i.MX8 Processor support DirectX on Windows 10 IoT Core?

[john_drinkall]

Hardware acceleration is really important for UWP applications. The i.MX6 didn't support DirectX, does the i.MX8?

Hello John,

DirectX support for i.MX8 is planned to be included in the future, ETA is middle of next year, but right now there is no support for DirectX.

Hello,

I just want to know if plan for VPU hardware acceleration in Windows 10 IoT Core is still actual. ETA is still middle of 2021?

Hello John Drinkall,

I’m looking for confirmation on whether the BSP for the i.MX8 in particular supports DirectX and I will let you know as soon as I have more information.

Hello John Drinkall,

My apologies for the delay. The i.MX8 does support DirectX 11. Not all documentation for the i.MX8QM is publicly available but you may request access with your FAE or Distributor.

I hope this information helps!

Regards,
