The at91sam9263 has a few interesting "GPU" features: - 2D memory addressing Data sheet says: The LCDC can be configured to work on a frame buffer larger than the actual screen size. By changing the values in a few registers, it is easy to move the displayed area along the frame buffer width and height - 2D Graphics controller Data sheet says: The Two D Graphics Controller (TDGC) features a hardware accelerator which highly simplifies drawing tasks and graphic management operations. The hardware accelerator makes it easy to draw lines and complex polygons and to perform block transfers within the frame buffer. The TDGC also features a draw command queue that automatically executes a more complex drawing function that is composed of several register accesses. The datasheet text is from: chapter 43.9 + chapter 44: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/Atmel-6249-32-bit-ARM926EJ-S-Embedded-Microprocessor-SAM9263_Datasheet.pdf (No NDA required) Based on the above, would it be possible to utilise some of these features without any dedicated userspace (mesa) support? Any other driver that has something similar that can be used for inspiration? Or is this in reality a simple GPU that requires a dedicated GPU driver?
