Original Press Release:
Renesas Technology Releases 3-D Graphics Software for SH-Mobile Application Processors
Tokyo - Renesas Technology has announced the development of the OpenGL ES Library 3-D graphics software for the company's SH-Mobile high-end application processor. A development solution for multimedia applications for mobile phone systems, OpenGL ES Library will be available from December 2004 in Japan.
As a specification for 3-D rendering, the OpenGL graphics API has practically attained the status of a worldwide standard for PCs and workstations. The OpenGL specification has been codified by the Khronos Group, and OpenGL ES is a subset of it designed for the development of applications for embedded devices such as mobile phones. OpenGL ES is expected to become the standard for developing applications incorporating 3-D rendering functions for embedded devices, and support for it is therefore becoming indispensable.
Renesas Technology produces the SH-Mobile Series of processors specifically for mobile phone applications. The top model in the SH-Mobile Series, SH-Mobile, has a maximum operating frequency of 216 MHz and incorporates the PowerVR MBX-Lite high-performance 3-D graphics accelerator.
