Hi
Our current hardware uses PXA255, MediaQ1132 graphics chip running windows
ce 4.2. Since MediaQ 1132 has become obsolete (has been for a long while),
we are considering replacing it with the Intel 2700G Multimedia Accelerator.

Can we use this chip with the PXA255, and are there any wince 4.2 drivers
for QVGA display, and other goodies on this chip.

Has anyone tried this?

Regards

The PXA270 supports the 2700G for sure. I've never considered whether the
PXA255 could do it.

Should work with the 255, the driver comes as a part of a BSP and is
somewhat configurable. You'll need to contact Intel for the driver and
other info on the chip.

Hi
I am getting mixed signals on this, I contacted our Intel rep, and told him
that we wanted to replace the Mediaq Chip on our PXA 255 hardware with Intel
2700G (and I know there is a lot of work involved in doing this), and asked
him if he could get us the BSP (drivers) for this.

He has told us that Intel don't recommend this, not sure if this means this
is not possible or there are some major issues to resolve with PXA 255 and
Intel 2700G chip.

There are other graphic controller chips on the market, but I would prefer
to use this as later upgrades where we would use say PXA 270 would be better
suited to use Intel 2700G.


Regards

Well of course they don't recommend that. They what you to switch to the
more expensive PXA270 processor. ;-)
Bottom line though is that you will likely get minimal support, at best,
from Intel in doing this.
