AGG Demo
The ML405 board AGG demo example that demonstrates clipping to multiple rectangular regions. The example is rendered at PPC. The resolution is 1280x1024x32bits without HW accelerator. The demo can be downloaded at:
ml405.rar AGG Demo
eus_FS - Spartan 3E AGG Demo resolution 800x600x32
eus_FS - Spartan 3E AGG Demo resolution 800x600x16 - agg_demo_eus_fs_16bits.rar
Spartan3AN - AGG Demo resolution 800x600x12bit resolution After download unpack the file, initiate FPGA by downloading bitstream and download demo SW by XMD:
cd demo_app_1
dow executable.elf
run
