How to enable Hardware Accelator on I.MX6Q Sabre Auto?

[byunggukchoi]

I've tried to enable hardware accelator of I.MX6Q Sabre Auto board but couldn't find how to enable and use.

What's the difference between VPU and GPU on I.MX6Q? And how to use them?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ByungGuk

VPU is video hardware accelerator, GPU - graphics. For using in Linux

please refer to Chapter 13 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU),

Chapter 18 Video Processing Unit (VPU) Driver attached Linux Manual.

For testing one can use Demo Images on

for testing GPU one can use gpu tools:
IDE - Debug, Compile and Build Tools (15)

for VPU - unit tests, imx-test (folder /mxc_vpu_test)
