Small graphics demo for BeagleBoard/Iyonix available

6fps on this Iyo, with the demo saved to RAM disc (model=X100, 512MB RAM, RO 5.16 flashed).

Jeffrey, does this mean that you’re running your Iyonix overclocked?

Nope. However I think the demo just uses the current screen mode, so which screen mode you’re using might affect things. Also it wouldn’t surprise me if the framerate was affected by which graphics card you’ve got – my Iyonix has one of the newer FX series cards (FX5200?).

Sorry 8fps at 1280×1024 on the Iyonix. Previous slower one was at 1920×1080

Just for fun, 15fps on my Omega at 1280×1024 :-)

...makes no attempt to change into the screen mode it requires...

Yes, that is by design, as with the different platforms and mode files out there (especially for the BeagleBoard), you can’t assume that a particular mode/resolution is available, and furthermore I didn’t want to tie it to a particular mode.

[Edit:

Could this be the starting point for a 4KB Beagle demo challenge?

Yes please! Although I don’t have enough spare time to take part :(

The Raspberry Pi forum has a thread on demos, seeking old school Archimedes demo coders willing to publish their code.
