Scalable 3D Graphics Accelerator

Overview

The logi3D graphics accelerator IP core is specifically designed for the new Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC. Designers can add attractive 3D graphics, including advanced Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), to their Xilinx Zynq-7000 AP SoC design by combining the logi3D with their application specific IP cores in a plug-and-play manner. The IP core is designed to support the OpenGL ES 1.1. API*. Linux and Windows Embedded Compact 7 are the currently supported operating system, with support for Android planned for 4Q2012. Due to its AMBA AXI4 interface compliance the logi3D IP core can also be implemented on Xilinx 7 Series and other Xilinx FPGA families as a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in various ASSP plus FPGA combinations.

* Product is based on a published Khronos specification, and is expected to pass the Khronos Conformance Testing Process. Current conformance status can be found at www.khronos.org/conformance.
