ARM optimised implementations of OpenMAX DL

ARM provides hand optimised OpenMAX DL libraries for both the ARM11 and Cortex-A8 processor families. These are currently available free of charge and include functions for H.264 decode, MPEG-4 decode, AAC decode, MP3 decode, and FFTs. The latest release (23rd April 2008) adds functions for MPEG-4 decode and MP3 decode in addition to updating the previously released functions to the latest version of the OpenMAX DL specification (v1.0.2).

OpenKODE 1.0 implementation from Acrodea

This package contains an implementation of OpenKODE Core as defined in the OpenKODE 1.0 specification. This release only contains the OpenKODE Core library, so in order to do anything useful with it you'll also need an implementation of EGL and some client APIs. The example source code provided assumes EGL and OpenGL ES headers and libraries are available.

C sample implementation of OpenMAX DL

ARM provides a sample OpenMAX DL implementation written in C. The OpenMAX DL (Development Layer) APIs contain a comprehensive set of audio, video, signal processing function primitives which can be implemented and optimized on various CPUs and hardware engines and then used for accelerated codec functionality. API functions target key algorithms in such codecs as H.264, MPEG-4, AAC, MP3, and JPEG. The function primitives are meant to cover the hotspots which typically take up 80% of codec processing. Codec porting to new hardware platforms can be as simple as swapping in the new DL library and recompiling.

Nokia OpenGL ES 1.1 Plug-in for S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, for C++

This early technology plug-in for the S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, for C++, enables the development of OpenGL ES 1.1 applications for the Nokia N93 with hardware accelerated 3D graphics and OpenGL ES 1.1 support. The plug-in enables full use of the native 3D graphics features supported in the Nokia N93 and provides an OpenGL 1.1 ES features upgrade, from OpenGL ES 1.0, to the S60 emulator. This enables testing and debugging of OpenGL ES 1.1 compliant Symbian C++ applications without a device.

Java Binding for the OpenGL ES API, JSR 239

Java Binding for the OpenGL ES API (JSR 239) enables access to the low level OpenGL ES 3D graphics library through a standard Java interface. This specification defines a Java ME optional package creating a standard Java interface into the OpenGL ES API and the EGL API for window system binding. JSR 239 requires an underlying native engine that has been certified by Khronos to be conformant with the OpenGL ES and EGL APIs. This engine must support version 1.0 of the OpenGL ES and EGL and all core extensions associated with those APIs. It may optionally support version 1.1 of the OpenGL ES and EGL APIs.

COLLADA RT Loader

The COLLADA RT Loader is a sample that was developed to load COLLADA document scene files, and render them using CG 1.5. It provides scene heirarchy, cameras, animation, and skinning support as well as basic COLLADA_FX rendering with the assistance of the COLLADA_FX lib. Currently COLLADA_RT only loads COLLADA 1.40 files and has been tested some though not in a rigorous fashion. It is a sample COLLADA loader / render implementation in OpenGL and is not a reference viewer; meaning it is not and isn't intended to support everything that COLLADA can represent. The loader uses the COLLADA DOM for importing the raw COLLADA data and refactors it into renderable data at run-time when a file is loaded.

GLUT|ES - The OpenGL ES Utility Toolkit

GLUT|ES is a port of the OpenSource freeglut implementation for WinCE and Win32 systems based on OpenGL ES. Most of GLUT API v.3 functionnalities are present: window creation, callbacks, menus, timers etc. Only functions that cannot exist with OpenGL ES or are not pertinent have not been ported (like overlays, joysticks on PocketPC, etc). It has been compiled, linked and tested successfully with Hybrid Rasteroid, Vincent and Intel 2700G implementations of OpenGL ES 1.1. It is compatible with both OpenGL|ES Common Light (CL) and Common (CM) profiles.

Developing Web Applications with COLLADA and X3D
