Shader Development Studio Problem

Note: This was originally posted on 12th May 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello,
Recently I decided to try out Mali Developer Tools, which look very promising.

Unfortunately I have a problem with Shader Development Studio.
When trying to make SimpleTest Project (from the User Guide) while rendering the shader effect
the Shader Preview shows a triangle instead of a square shown in the Guide.
In general, it is not surprising, since the option VERTICES in Shader Attributes View has by default  three
vertices:
-1.0 -1.0,0.0,1.0,
1.0 -1.0,0.0,1.0,
1.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,

The problem however is that there is no possibility to add additional vertices
(when choosing the option USER_DEFINED). You can only change the three given.
Changing the geometry in Shader Control View do not bring any effect, always showing three vertices.
Even when using a Shader Examples from Mali GPU Shader Library shaders are applied to that triangle.
The shaders themselves are working (changing color, texturing, etc).

Plugin has been tested on the following configurations:
Eclipse 3.6.2
  • GeForce 9600M GT Windows 7 64bit
  • GeForce GTS 250 Windows 7 32bit

All necessary OpenGL extensions are present, Emulator and Offline Shader Compiler are installed and work.

    The fact that I did a fresh install and it still does not work is quite odd. For me it looks like an issue indirectly related to Eclipse may be at hand. Like Java installation JRE/SDK maybe.
    @rdc: Here some questions that might help to get the issue pinned.

    1) Where did you install the ARM files? Default folder?
    2) Any special changes to the system? I am thinking of tinkering with the PATH variable and permissions maybe.
