i.MX8 OpenGL SC support

[anguschen]

Hello, Team, can you tell me whether the i.MX8 supports OpenGL SC 1.x ? Thank you!

Hello Zhouneng Chen,

Open GL support may vary a little for each i.MX8. You can find more details on the documentation. For example, the i.MX8QuadXPlus supports OpenGL 3.0, 2.1,; OpenGL ES 3.1, 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1; OpenCL 1.2 Full Profile and 1.1; OpenVG 1.1.

It is my understanding that OpenGL SC is based on OpenGL ES so even tough it’s not implemented on the Linux BSPs the hardware should be able to handle it. I would double check with Khronos (link below).

I hope this helps!

Hello,gusarambula, thanks for help.

According to the https://www.khronos.org/openglsc/, the OpenGL SC is not just the subset of OpenGL ES, it maybe also has some features not availabe in OpenGL ES. So, it is not clear whether the i.MX support it.

Hello Zhouneng Chen,

I was checking internally and there is no support for OpenGL SC. However, our Partner CoreAVI does provide support for OpenGL SC in some NXP hardware. I would need to ask you to please contact them directly for more details.
