This document explains how to set up the PowerVR for the CM-T3x.


Adding the PowerVR driver to the image

  1. Download the driver from: PowerVR
  2. Unzip the downloaded archive and to \WINCE600\PUBLIC (to create two subdirectories - PowerVR and PowerVR-SDK).
  3. The PowerVR ... should appear in the "Catalog Items View".

  4. Edit \WINCE600\PUBLIC\PowerVR\cebasecesysgen.bat (at about line 44) to "if /i not "%_TGTPROJ%"=="CM_T35_CE6" goto :SrcBld_3430"

Compiling the demo applications

The test applications source code is located in \WINCE600\PUBLIC\PowerVR-SDK.


  • Select “Open release Directory in Build Window” from the workspace Build Menu.

  • Set the SDKROOT to the type of demos/tutorials you want to build (e.g. set SDKROOT=%_WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\PowerVR-SDK\xxxx where xxxx is OGLES1.1 OGLES2 OVG).

  • cd !SDKROOT!\<Demos or TrainingCourse>\<specific demo or training folder>\xxxx (where xxxx is OGLES1.1 OGLES2 OVG)

  • build -c

    Working with PowerVR

    The tutorials located in \PUBLIC\PowerVR-SDK\xxxx\TrainingCourse (where xxxx is OGLES1.1 OGLES2 OVG) provide a good reference.
    Review and read the comments in the files, these comments supply a good base for not only creating new code but also for studying the API.
