Electronic – Beaglebone GPU usage

beagleboardbeaglebone black

The beaglebone uses TI AM335X SOC which has a SGX530 3D Graphics Engine.

I wish to know if there is a single open source operating system available in the world wide web capable of using the beaglebones GPU.

Currently I believe the DRM graphics calls are processed only by the CPU and the GPU is standing there doing nothing.

I have a need to clarify this information.

Thank you very much for your views and answers.

This page talks about using GLES on SGX530: http://www.edlangley.co.uk/projects/opengl-streaming-textures/

This uses TI's bc-cat OpenGLES driver for AM35x platforms: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OpenGLES_Texture_Streaming_-_bc-cat_User_Guide
