Pandaboard is built around the OMAP4430 (or 4460) from Texas Instruments.
Hardware acceleration is done by software (named Ducati) in one of the two
Cortex M3s in the OMAP SoC. Ducati is not open source, but you'll probably
not need the source for your purpose.
However, you need to be sure that acceleration is enabled in Android. This
should be ok in case you are using Linaro's Android build for Pandaboard.
