OpenGL Support in our Embedded Graphics Suite

After recently writing about OpenGL support in our visualization tools, I thought that a similar exploration about our suite of Embedded Graphics tools would also be appropriate, especially with all of the embedded display work that I have been working on in preparation for the Avionics 2011 Exhibition and Conference in Munich, Germany.

As you may already be aware, Presagis develops the following Embedded Graphics tools:

HMI design tool: VAPS XT
Embedded OpenGL drivers: SeaWind

Both of these offer respective support for OpenGL.

SeaWind

If we start by looking at our SeaWind embedded drivers, we will see that each GPU that we support targets a different version of OpenGL, based on customer needs and the features of each graphics chipset:

Nvidia G73 GPU: OpenGL SC 1.0 and OpenGL ES 2.0
S3 2300 GPU: OpenGL 1.5
Intel Integrated Devices: OpenGL 2.1

Wide support of OpenGL allows our users to create high performance displays with rich graphical contents. Presagis also offers certified drivers products that support OpenGL SC 1.0 to ensure we meet the requirements of users working in this type of environment.

VAPS XT

Turning to VAPS XT, we provide porting layers and display objects that support OpenGL ES 1.0, OpenGL 1.1 or OpenGL 1.1 out-of-the-box. It is also possible to create custom objects and elements that make calls to newer versions of the graphic library based on specific display requirement needs.

If you are visiting the Avionics 2011 conference, make sure to stop by our booth to say hi and see live demonstrations of our embedded graphics offerings.
