“MBX enabled devices do not support PVRTC textures that are not square” - this is the output when trying to generate power-of-2 but non-square PVRTC compressed textures. Warning seems to be from MBX times. Any plans to support PVRTC formats with non-square power-of-2 textures in the near future?

I assume you’re meaning the warning in PVRTexTool GUI. MBX platforms do not officially support non-square PVRTC textures and this is unlikely to change.  
  
  
  
  
  
Note that SGX platforms, on the whole, do support these textures, although part of this support is down to the driver implementation on a particular platform.
