Graphics Accelerator for Android
Block Diagram
Overview
FUJISOFT developed a Graphics Accelerator IP core that can boost graphical processing when using an Intel FPGA SoC device. We implemented a smooth-running Android OS onto Intel® FPGA SoC to demonstrate the IP's performance capabilities. FUJISOFT created an Android platform that includes the standard open source Android OS verion 4.0.4 ICS running on top of the Linux Kernal from Intel FPGA's BSP. Android graphics processing is supported in the FPGA using the FUJISOFT IP core.
Device Utilization and Performance
Getting Started
Android has grown to be the number one smartphone operating system.While Android continues to be the most popular OS for smartphones and tablets, it is also being adopted for other embedded devices and industrial equipment. However, high-performance CPUs are rarely used in embedded applications and the implementation of relatively low-performing CPUs will slow down the Android drawing process. This product is the solution!
