Vulkan SDK for Android 1.1.1 Documentation

Welcome to Vulkan SDK for Android 1.1.1.

About

The Vulkan SDK is a collection of resources to help you build Vulkan applications for a platform with a Mali GPU and an ARM processor. You can use it for creating new applications, training, and exploration of implementation possibilities.

You can use the Mali SDK to produce applications that will run on any devices that run Android and Vulkan on an ARM processor.

Requirements

To build and run the Vulkan sample applications you will need:

• An ARM based device with a Mali GPU running Android which supports Vulkan.
• The latest Android Studio.

Getting Started
