Hello,
  

&nbsp;
  

I am currently using OpenGL ES 2.0 thanks to PVR Insider SDK&nbsp;on TI Blaze Platform (OMAP 4430, GPU: SGX540, OS: Ubuntu).
  

&nbsp;
  

When I am using a high resolution texture (2000\*1500),&nbsp;the warning message below is printed for each frame:
  

&nbsp;
  

**PVR:(Warning): GrowPerContextPB: PB Limit reached [1000,&nbsp; /sgxpb.c]**
  

&nbsp;
  

&nbsp;
  

I suspect it's because my texture is not far from the maximal resolution supported by the Blaze.
  

Yet I'd like to know&nbsp;how I could get rid of this&nbsp;message since it's very painful to see it printed for each frame.
  

&nbsp;
  

Thanks for your answer
  

&nbsp;
  

Adrian&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi Adrian,  
  
Can you cat /proc/pvr/version on your Blaze and share the version number, please?  
It sounds like you might be on an out of date driver. You should contact TI to see if they have an update they can give you.  
  
Regards,  
Joe

Hi Adrian,  
  
That’s a fairly old 1.7 driver. If you contact TI, they should be able to give an updated version.

Hi Joe,

  

Thanks for your reply. 
  

&nbsp;
  

The driver is indeed an old one. 
  

I am going to update it.
  

&nbsp;
  

Thanks

Hi Joe,

&nbsp;
  

Just to confirm you that after updating the driver, the warnings disappeared.
  

&nbsp;
  

Once again thanks for your help and your replies.
