CUresult cuGraphicsEGLRegisterImage ( CUgraphicsResource* pCudaResource, EGLImageKHR image, unsigned int  flags )
Registers an EGL image.
Parameters
pCudaResource
- Pointer to the returned object handle
image
- An EGLImageKHR image which can be used to create target resource.
flags
- Map flags
Description

Registers the EGLImageKHR specified by image for access by CUDA. A handle to the registered object is returned as pCudaResource. Additional Mapping/Unmapping is not required for the registered resource and cuGraphicsResourceGetMappedEglFrame can be directly called on the pCudaResource.

The application will be responsible for synchronizing access to shared objects. The application must ensure that any pending operation which access the objects have completed before passing control to CUDA. This may be accomplished by issuing and waiting for glFinish command on all GLcontexts (for OpenGL and likewise for other APIs). The application will be also responsible for ensuring that any pending operation on the registered CUDA resource has completed prior to executing subsequent commands in other APIs accesing the same memory objects. This can be accomplished by calling cuCtxSynchronize or cuEventSynchronize (preferably).

The surface's intended usage is specified using flags, as follows:

  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_NONE: Specifies no hints about how this resource will be used. It is therefore assumed that this resource will be read from and written to by CUDA. This is the default value.

  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_READ_ONLY: Specifies that CUDA will not write to this resource.

  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_WRITE_DISCARD: Specifies that CUDA will not read from this resource and will write over the entire contents of the resource, so none of the data previously stored in the resource will be preserved.

The EGLImageKHR is an object which can be used to create EGLImage target resource. It is defined as a void pointer. typedef void* EGLImageKHR

CUresult cuGraphicsResourceGetMappedEglFrame ( CUeglFrame* eglFrame, CUgraphicsResource resource, unsigned int  index, unsigned int  mipLevel )
Get an eglFrame through which to access a registered EGL graphics resource.
Parameters
eglFrame
- Returned eglFrame.
resource
- Registered resource to access.
index
- Index for cubemap surfaces.
mipLevel
- Mipmap level for the subresource to access.
Description

Returns in *eglFrame an eglFrame pointer through which the registered graphics resource resource may be accessed. This API can only be called for EGL graphics resources.

The CUeglFrame is defined as:

‎ typedef struct CUeglFrame_st {
           union {
               CUarray pArray[MAX_PLANES];
               void*   pPitch[MAX_PLANES];
           } frame;
           unsigned int width;
           unsigned int height;
           unsigned int depth;
           unsigned int pitch;
           unsigned int planeCount;
           unsigned int numChannels;
           CUeglFrameType frameType;
           CUeglColorFormat eglColorFormat;
           CUarray_format cuFormat;
       } CUeglFrame;

If resource is not registered then CUDA_ERROR_NOT_MAPPED is returned. *
