R3 Silverlight Support

This chapter describes how to enable Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 Silverlight support

OpenGL Support

Silverlight uses OpenGL API, therefore uses the OMAP3530 / dm3730 on-chip OpenGL HW accelerator.

In order to use the OpenGL accelerator, the PowerVR SW component should be included in the workspace.

Follow the following steps:

Download PowerVR latest version from Variscite FTP site. The package should reside under /OMAP/WindowsCE/Release/x.y.z/PowerVR/ folder, where "x.y.z" should be substituted with the version of latest BSP.
Follow the installation instructions in the _Installation.txt file, residing in the mentioned above folder
Open working solution in Visual Studio 2005. For example VAR_OM35xx_REL.
Go to the Catalog view
Open Third Party folder
Check PowerVR and open it as folder
Check OpenGLES 2.0 form the 3D API folder

For more details reference to OpenGL on VAR-SOM-OM35 Windows CE topic.
