Samples
▪ Code sample: Drawing a triangle by using OpenVG (http://docs.blackberry.com/
en/developers/deliverables/17967/
CS_Drawing_a_triangle_using_OpenVG_1241146_11.jsp) (Java implentation
for RIM devices, however should be able to get a grasp on how it works and be
able to port it to the Raspberry Pi)
OpenMAX
See /documentation/ilcomponents (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/
documentation/ilcomponents) on GitHub firmware repository for official documentation.
TODO: Sample of how to use OpenMAX to decode audio/video/images, etc.
