5. 2005/1/26 PROSPECT Inc. / Renesas Solutions Corp.5 CELF AVG 2D Hardware Abstraction Integrating the abstraction layer named DirectFB. –Present Target: SH7751R+Silicon Motion for Digital TV application Benefit –Provides a light-weight and standardized interface for CE application. –Provides the portability and usability among the different hardware. –Provides application direct pass to controller to enable hardware drawing. –GTK+ on top of DirectFB will also provide the application portability. Requirement / Problem –Needs to develop a special driver for the hardware acceleration. Integrated with the frame buffer driver for standard LINUX environment –DirectFB is not so common in PC LINUX world such as PC LINUX adopt X11 based windowing environment. Then not so many implementation yet

6. 2005/1/26 PROSPECT Inc. / Renesas Solutions Corp.6 Issues(1) To investigate the possibility of HAL for 3D graphics library. –Coexistence with HAL for 2D graphics library CELF 2D HAL is using DirectFB. Direct FB can be expanded to 3D using MESA(a free OpenGL compliant library ） /DRI named DirectFBGL. KAA mechanism for 2D acceleration implementation is also abvailable. Needs to investigate these HAL and the other candidates –To specify the way to put 3D image on a 2D structure.moving image frame. It may be possible to write 3D image on the specific moving image frame. –Needs to check the frame delay. –Needs to check 2D graphics component on top of 3D image. –Is it possible to draw both 3D and 2D image in a frame simultaneously? 2D and 3D Hardware needs to create synchronization way.

7. 2005/1/26 PROSPECT Inc. / Renesas Solutions Corp.7 Issues(2) To improve the performance –Needs to provide the way to synchronize 2D/3D/Display Drivers. Ex. ： Imagination’s 3rd Party Display Driver API –Needs to provide the substitution way for the floating point mathematics capability. For the implementation with no floating point arithmetic unit or vector arithmetic unit for geometry. –Needs to check a resource allocation mechanism for CPU(and Bus or Memory) : This is an essential OS structure issue. It may be OK if CPU in one thread could be used for 2D/3D drawing using VSYNC Synchronization and if the application manages the priority. If the communication or sound drivers is initiating new thread, the session of communication or the sound stream could be disturbed, or 3D graphics loses some frames.

8. 2005/1/26 PROSPECT Inc. / Renesas Solutions Corp.8 AURORA SYSTEM Integrated with CPU“SH-4” （ SuperH TM ）,“PowerVR ® ” （ Imagination Technologies ）, and AD PCM Sound Engine.

ACCELERATOR Write In to FB X X+y Display Readout from FB y=16.6ms(for NTSC) ○ Need (or not) to provide Synchronization API among CPU, ACC, and Display Driver. ○ ACCELERATOR  may also require y or more time to draw the triangles and to full them with textures. How to detect the timing? ○ Need (or not) to provide mechanism to forcing to stop the CPU/ACC at next VSYNC? ○ 2D ACCELERATOR may this problem more difficult. Which has the priority among 2D or 3D? ○ Some user is requesting to draw 2D and 3D in a frame. Each accelerator needs to announce their finish of drawing to CPU. ○ Also Motion Image like MPEG2/4 could be integrated with these images. How to synchronize them?
