Overview
Monocle is an experimental the implementation of the Glass windowing component of JavaFX . It's targeted at for embedded systems. Monocle provides windowing functionality and access to native graphics for simple embedded systems that do not have an underlying window system. It is an ongoing effort.
Description of Monocle components
...
| monocle.platform | prism.order options | Hardware on which this might work |
|---|---|---|
MX6 | es2 (default) or sw | Freescale i.MX6 SDP or similar boards. Needs accelerated Vivante graphics drivers for framebuffer; not all OS configurations have these. |
OMAP | es2 (default) or sw | BeagleBoard xM. Note that the es2 pipeline requires PowerVR graphics drivers, which are only available on soft float configurations of Linux on the BeagleBoard. |
OMAPX11 | es2 | BeagleBoard xM. Renders the JavaFX window stack to a single X11 window. |
X11 | es2 | BeagleBoard; Linux/x86 desktop |
Linux | sw | Any Linux system with the sw renderer.; uses software rendering |
Headless | sw | Any system |
VNC | sw | Any system |
