    Mali user space drivers for T-76x (in RK3288) ready !?

    It looks like we need a new kernel to make use of this drivers for Ubuntu ?
    http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/features/mali-t6xx-gpu-user-space-drivers/

    more details here:
    http://community.arm.com/thread/7258


    That's right, the new Mali-T76x drivers built for GNU/Linux ARMv7 fbdev only (no windowing system at the moment) are now available as well as several other r5p0 drivers on the public download page:
    http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop...space-drivers/

    In order to use this, you will also need to build the kernel-side driver and replace the kernel in your build. This can be achieved by following the Firefly wiki page I mentioned earlier and starting with this Linux repository (master branch):
    T-Firefly / Firefly-RK3288-kernel / Commits — Bitbucket

    It has an early r4p1 kernel-side Mali GPU driver, which is not compatible with the new r5p0 user-side driver. So you need to upgrade the kernel-side Mali driver with the source code archive from this page:
    http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop...evice-drivers/

    You'll need to remove the main drivers files under drivers/gpu/arm/, but not drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/platform/rk which contains the RK3288 platform support files, and replace them with the files from the archive. Some relatively small changes may be needed in the RK3288 platform files to make it work with the new r5p0 driver; sorry we haven't got a patch for that at the moment.

      From what I understand there will be another release "Next Week" and some patches. Hope it will be useful.

        Just hope Lollipop doesn't introduce new problems & issues.
        Does Lollipop even bring noticeable improvements, will probably be based on same 3.10 kernel same as AMLogic's Lollipop.
        :
        I think GPU at Lollipop should be a "it goes without saying"
        I have no idea about the improvements but I'm sure we will introduce new problems & issues...

        I don't want to be reminded of Windows when I use my TV and to deal with viruses, slow downs, drivers etc. But if you use it as a 2nd PC for work etc. then it's probably more useful. Windows is also more useful on a tablet.
        I think the main argument is the DRM stuff (e.g. because of NetFlix)...

          Sorry, I didn't read the article but I think we ONLY talk about GPU and not VPU ?

            Yes, I know, (also e.g. amlogic seems to be able to handle it this way (minix told something like this)), but who want's to have a locked bootloader at this kind of devices ?

              Read also that with the release of Lollipop that there will be a migration to the 3.14.* Kernel.
