Imagination Technologies MIPS® Creator CI20 and T2/Linux

MIPS Creator CI20

The MIPS® Creator CI20 board is a high performance, fully featured Linux and Android development platform. It incorporates an Ingenic JZ4780 SoC which includes a 1.2 GHz, dual-core MIPS32 processor and PowerVR SGX540 GPU..

  • Ingenic JZ4780, dual 1.2GHz MIPS32 processor, SGX540 GPU, 32k I&D L1 cache, 512k L2 cache
  • IEEE754 Floating Point Unit
  • 8GB Flash, 1GB DDR3 memory
  • Video playback up to 1080p
  • AC97 audio, via 4-pin input/output jack and HDMI connector
  • Camera interface –ITU645 controller
  • Connectivity – 10/100 ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0
  • HDMI output up to 2K resolution
  • 2 x USB – host and OTG
  • 14-pin ETAG connector
  • 2 x UART, GPIO, SPI, I2C, ADC, expansion headers

Notes

As usual for Imagination Technologies PowerVR based graphics, there is no open source code to drive the 2D/3D acceleartor. There exists only a bare-minimum mode-setting Linux kernel (OMAP) FB driver. Proprietary binary-only libraries are circulated to provide a rather rogue OpenGL ES environment for accelerated 2D/3D.
