is OpenTK compatible with PowerVR sdk?

thanks a lot! I will see which way that will suit me the best :)

btw, I'm tried replaced "libegl.dll" and "libglesv2.dll" from AMD Emulator (which is working fine now) to PowerVR PC Emulator and the application is clashed again :(.
I debugged it roughly and found it raised the "Platform exception", but haven't got any chance to investigate further.

any idea?

thank you very much for helping me investigate this
here is the PowerVR website where PC Emulation can be downloaded

http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/powervr-utilities.asp

you can download either PC Emulator, or the whole SDK (including PC Emulator)

any good news?

thanks! I'm about to come update that I found the error at the same place as well.

Again, thanks for mentioning AMD Emulator, I'm using that at the moment. Anyway, I also aimming to test the application on Linux that why PowerVR emulator is come in my concern.

Hopefully we will find the fix soon

I have forwarded this issue to the ImgTec support, and I got their responses as following

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification, however, I found the application is crashed even before the point you have mentioned (GraphicsContext.cs : 263) as far as I debug, it never reach the point that the program try to get the EGL context from available_contexts either

I'm not sure how to make this as a question, but I still a bit curious why the similar routine working fine with AMD emulator but not PVR? I thought both emulators do mostly the same stuff to emulate EGL, but I could be wrong
Well, it will be great if you could guide me a bit about the idea to debug this error.

I also post this further investigation on OpenTK forum.

Many thanks,
Wittawat K.

Hi,

I'm sorry I haven't written exactly how it works. What I have written on the forum means that previously there were a problems with obtaining the functions from
libEGL libraries (part of pvrvframe). And With the version I have sent you this part works fine. However there is some problem somewhere later related to context.
We tried to investigate it a little bit and it seems that in the same code first you use our EGL interface to create a context , surface etc.. and later on try trying to adress
the same context using WGL interface. eg. You seem to create graphich context with EGL and store it in :available_contexts (GraphicsContext.cs) and then
later on refer to it using handle returned by wgl method (GraphicsContext.cs : 263). Current context you are getting comes from WGL which is something else than
current egl context and they handle is diffrent so accessing available_contexts (storage of egl contexts) with egl context handles will cause access violation.

Hope this will help

Regards
Jacek

Hi,

Unfortunately, it still didnt work.
I tested them with my project, both on Debug and Release build, and still give me the
"AccessViolationException"
However, the function that throw out the error is different this time,

Here is where the exception has been occured
.\OpenTK\Source\OpenTK\Platform\Egl\EglContext.cs - line 108

Egl.MakeCurrent(WindowInfo.Display, WindowInfo.Surface, WindowInfo.Surface, HandleAsEGLContext);

It is interesting you said that you can run the program on your system,
Have you modified any project properties?

Best Regards,
Wittawat K.

Hi,
Please find attach beta version of our pvrvframe. Send us some feedback as soon as you test them. I don’t know what is the reason that libraries you have tried did not work properly in your case.

What I can say is that in those attached , mechanism of exporting the functions was reimplemented to make it more friendly for dynamic loading by other applications , which is also your case .

But this case should also working with previous edition. Try it and let us now.

Regards,
Jacek

Hi,
I was able to reproduce the issue that you had reported. However this problem seems not to appear with our PVRVFrame candidate for our next release (2.6, around end of febuary). So If you want I can send you these libraries (still in prebeta stage) so you can give it a try.
Regards
Jacek

I'm still try to find the workaround on this problem, and I'm happy to send the PVRFrame 2.6 Beta to OpenTK if you want to investigate this further.
What ImgTec tried to say is that We are using the wrong context after the EGL context is created,

Appriciate any helps,
Wittawat K.
