<h2>
  <a name="" class="anchor" href="#whatissdk"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>What is the PowerVR SDK?
</h2>
<p>The SDK supports iOS, Android and Linux PowerVR devices. It also supports Windows, OS X and Linux PC emulation. Imagination's
  OpenGL ES emulation library, PVRVFrame, can be downloaded from our website <a href="https://www.imgtec.com/developers/powervr-sdk-tools/pvrvframe/">here</a>.</p>
  <p>The SDK includes optimized example applications to demonstrate the most efficient ways of implementing common 3D graphics effects on PowerVR graphics cores.
     It also includes a cross-platform OS and graphics API abstraction layer, and a library of helper code for resource loading, vector and matrix maths, text printing and more.</p>

     <div>
      <h3>
        <a name="" class="anchor" href="#framework"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Framework
      </h3>
      <p>The framework consists of separate libraries providing groups of functionality as modules.
        These modules are PVRCore, PVRAssets, PVRShell, PVRVK, PVRUtils and PVRCamera.</p>
        <ul>
        <li>PVRCore provides support for the other modules</li>
        <li>PVRAssets provides code for accessing and manipulating application resources such as textures</li>
        <li>PVRShell provides platform abstraction/entry point</li>
          <li>PVRVk provides a useful abstraction and automation of the Vulkan API to speed up application development</li>
            <li>PVRUtils provides functions for automating common tasks in application development</li>
            <li>PVRCamera provides hardware Camera abstractions</li>
      </ul>

        <h3>
          <a name="" class="anchor" href="#examples"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Examples
        </h3>
        <p>The examples provided in the SDK are fully commented, highly optimized C++ applications that cover a variety of rendering techniques.
          They are designed in a step-by-step tutorial style to gradually guide
          the most inexperienced graphics developers from a simple render of a single triangle to complex scenes that incorporate many objects, animations and shader effects.</p>
