Detailed Description

API for using direct rendering with the PVR

Macro Definition Documentation

pvr_dr_commit

#define pvr_dr_commit

(

addr

)

Value:

sq_flush(addr)

Commit a primitive written into the Direct Rendering target address.

Parameters

addr	The address returned by pvr_dr_target(), after you have written the primitive to it.

pvr_dr_target

#define pvr_dr_target

(

vtx_buf_ptr

)

Value:

    ({ (vtx_buf_ptr) ^= 32; \
        (pvr_vertex_t *)(MEM_AREA_SQ_BASE | (vtx_buf_ptr)); \
    })

Obtain the target address for Direct Rendering.

Parameters

vtx_buf_ptr

State variable for Direct Rendering. Should be of type pvr_dr_state_t, and must have been initialized previously in the scene with pvr_dr_init().

Returns

A write-only destination address where a primitive should be written to get ready to submit it to the TA in DR mode.

Typedef Documentation

pvr_dr_state_t

typedef uint32_t pvr_dr_state_t

Direct Rendering state variable type.

Function Documentation

pvr_dr_finish()

void pvr_dr_finish

(

void

)

Finish work with Direct Rendering.

Called atomatically in pvr_scene_finish(). Use it manually if you want to release Store Queues earlier.

pvr_dr_init()

void pvr_dr_init

(

pvr_dr_state_t *

vtx_buf_ptr

)

Initialize a state variable for Direct Rendering.

Store Queues are used.

Parameters

vtx_buf_ptr

A variable of type pvr_dr_state_t to init.

pvr_send_to_ta()

void pvr_send_to_ta

(

void *

data

)

Upload a 32-byte payload to the Tile Accelerator.

Upload the given payload to the Tile Accelerator. The difference with the Direct Rendering approach above is that the Store Queues are not used, and therefore can be used for anything else.

Parameters

data	A pointer to the 32-byte payload. The pointer must be aligned to 8 bytes.
