In This Release 
===============
Intel(R) EMGD is designed specifically to support the unique GRAPHICS 
DRIVER requirements of embedded applications for Intel(R) embedded 
processor/chipset-based platforms with integrated graphics capability.  

This release contains components for:
1a) Intel_EMGD.WIN7_PC_Version_36_15_0_1127 contains Intel(R) HD 
    Graphics, Intel(R) Display Audio Driver for Windows* 7/Windows
    Embedded Standard* 7 32-bit, and Intel(R) Media SDK.

 -OR- 

1b) Intel_EMGD.WIN7_PC_Version_37_15_0_1127 contains Intel(R) HD
    Graphics, Intel(R) Display Audio Driver for Windows* 7/Windows
    Embedded Standard* 7 64-bit, and Intel(R) Media SDK.

2) Readme.txt (this file)

3)  VBIOS and BMP (BIOS Modification Program) are required for 
    Windows* 7/Windows Embedded Standard* 7 to customize the VBIOS 
    The VBIOS and BMP can be obtained from VIP.

Supported SoC
=============
Target system must contain one of the following Intel SoC:

      - Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor E3800 Product Family/ Intel(R) 
        Celeron(R) Processor N2807/N2930/J1900 (formerly Baytrail)

Please check with your system provider to determine the Intel 
Processor/Chipset used in your system. 

Supported Operating Systems
===========================
This version of driver supports the following OS or distributions:

This release contains the following features / resolved issues / 
limitations / known issues. Please report any sightings via the 
Intel Premier Support system.

Features:
=========
 
  New in this release:
  --------------------
    - Resolves operational issues for enhanced stability 
       o Temporal dithering feature can now enabled through the BMP to fix
         color issues on low cost /low bit depth LFP panels.  Note: enabling 
         this feature may negatively impact your performance mainly on 2D
         benchmarks.
       o Two encode streams (through MediaSDK) blue screen issue is resolved.
       o Removed change in build 1097 that negatively impacted DP Audio operation.
       o Build/packaging issues introduced in build 1097 have been resolved.   

  
  Existing Features:
  ------------------
    - Intel(R) EMGD driver Supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows* 7/Windows Embedded 
      Standard* 7 operating system

    - The driver has the capability to support a wide range of display 
      resolutions. 640x480@60Hz is the minimum resolution supported and 
      2560X1600X24bpp@60Hz is the maximum resolution supported on CRT/VGA, 
      DP and eDP displays.  1920x1200x24bpp@60Hz is the maximum resolution 
      on a HDMI Display

    - Supports single, Clone and Extended display modes.

    - Supports display rotation (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees). 

    - Transparent blend. 

    - Rendered Scaling Display.  

    - HDCP version 1.3 

    - DirectX 9.x/10.X/11

    - 2D, D3D and OpenGL 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.0
   
    - Full video decode capability for H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, MVC and VP8

    - Processing Amplifier

    - Post Processing features like sharpness enhancement, advanced 
      De-interlacing, skin tone detection and enhancement

    - HD Audio

    - MediaSDK is supported which offers a custom framework to do Video
      Encode


Please refer to the Technical Product Specification (TPS) for more details on 
supported features. The Technical Product Specification can be obtained from 
IBL/CDI.


Limitations:
=============

    - Driver does not have Microsoft* WHQL certification which is not 
      required for embedded applications.

    - The content protection for Blu-ray* playback is not supported 
      and is not planned.
    
    - Intel(R) EMGD has no S3 Texture Compression, though it will use 
      similar compression available in the O/S API.

    - Language support is set to English only per TPS and embedded POR



Known Issues:
=============

      - Hotplug with port configured for "DisplayPort" (via BMP) may
        not function with certain system configurations. Issue is 
        thought to be caused by particular system (BIOS/AHCP/other 
        unknown) configurations.  WORKAROUND: Please set the port in 
        BMP tool to "DisplayPort with HDMI/DVI compatibility" if you 
        experience this issue.

      - We recommend implementing eDP on DDI1 as is done the Bayley Bay
        and Bakers Port CRBs as eDP on DDI0 has not been validated.
