Hi,
I would like to download the iOS version of the new 2.08 sdk but actually the link allow only the download of the binaries files, no source code is included, can you please update the link for the iOS version? Thank you and keep up the good work

Thanks for pointing this out. The website has now been updated with the correct iOS packages.
The following error occurs if I try to download the SDK for iOS via

ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

I downloaded PVRTexLib_2.08.28.0634, and when I extracted it; I noticed there wasn’t a 64-bit version of the mac build. Is the .lib file a universal binary (32-bit and 64-bit)?
Hi Texel,
Yes PVRTexLib is distributed as a universal binary for MacOS for ease of use.
Thanks,
Tobias
When I try to compile and profile a shader using the PVRUniSCo_SGX540 or PVRUniSCo_SGX53x tools on a Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.7), the compiler initially reports success, then crashes with a bus error. It writes out a blank .prof file, but I don’t see the compiled shader at the location I specified.
I’m using the following for the command line:
PVRUniSCo_SGX540 [input fragment shader] [output compiled shader] -f -profile
Is there something I’m doing wrong, or is this a bug with the MacOS_x86_32 build of PVRUniSCo?
This is the from the 2.8 SDK, version 1.7.17.3700 of the compiler.bradlarson2011-04-14 18:56:52

[/QUOTE] Getting pretty much the same error using Safari, on IE, it says a 501 error though. Any thoughts on when this might get fixed?

Could you please send your shader to devtech@imgtec.com?
ma230:
This is an intermittent fault with the website server - please try downloading again. The site is being moved to a new machine in the near future so hopefully these problems will be fixed then.
