screen-gles2-tools

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

None.

Description:

The screen-gles2-tools utility is a command-line tool for generating shader binaries. This utility puts the compiled shader binaries in your current directory.

The screen process must be already running when your use this utility because it uses the GPU stack.

After generating the shader binaries, take advantage of Screen's boot optimization strategy by copying these binaries to /usr/lib/graphics/platform on your target, where platform is the name of your platform (e.g., imx6x). On the next start of screen, Screen loads the binaries it finds without having to first compile the source before loading them.

The savings in time is seen only if the shader binaries exist before screen starts. To reap the advantages that the precompiled shader binaries give you, we recommend copying these binaries to your host, and include them your OS image , so that they are already available immediately after booting up your platform.

The binaries must be copied to $QNX_TARGET/cpu/usr/lib/graphics/platform, where cpu is the CPU architecture of your platform, and platform is the name of your platform, on your host, so that they can be built into your OS image .
