rk3188 mali 3D support

[zero_x12]

Thank you Ian!!

Your bootloader made the installation easy and the performance of Ubuntu is impressive. :0)

I downloaded these files to try it on my MK802IV but I'm not very experienced with this. What do I do with update.img? Do I need to erase the NAND before using RKBatch Tool to flash update.img? I'm guessing the device will only have a bootloader at this point (thus install the Ubuntu Mali image from SD)?

EDIT: So I flashed update.img which puts the bootloader into the NAND.
Then I installed the Ubuntu image from a SD card. All is well (the Mali 3D works!) except I can't get the wireless to work on the MK802IV, is there something special I need to do?

Unfortunately, I'm using a USB Ethernet adapter, since the WiFi performance is notoriously poor with the stock antenna.

If you use 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99O3A0dDe67bFZucW9NT0hocVE"
RADXA use chip BL-8723RB1 or RTL8188ETV and MK802IV the AP6210...

A newbie question:
What does "mali 3D support" means? Is it like Hardware Acceleration like Omegamoon Rockchip GPL Kernel Upgrade to 3.0.101 Released but only a different way using 3.0.36+ OR does it mean a totally different think, and if yes, what is the different?

It is better to flash s/w that is designed for your device. In this instance for the MK802IV you should flash the update.img from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...jVLSHlhQXVnX0k and then flash the boot patch from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...DVBV2VaRlhJbm8 and the kernel patch from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...XIzLU5nUk9mZW8. You can then use with the new Ubuntu Mali image from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99...1hQQ2VybldVYU0 on either SD or USB.

If you just want to try then I've created an updated Ubuntu 12.04 RFS with the necessary kernel modules and binary userspace drivers which you can download and boot from on https://plus.google.com/109451178006...ts/NEWG6Mtz5U7

Thanks for the help in the topic, I have a question what is the difference between your update.img, and from radxa.img.
Your I can easily unpack and from radxa not well...

I know you're horny good at writing-sh-and I question whether'll love it because I get tired interesting idea to make a boot image with several partitions for all rk3188 dongle ,with kernel selection.
And add Debian and Ubuntu Live net install to this boot image...

What do you think about this.

I can only concur to that!


Signature? Signature!

May I use the compiz graphics effect with this tweak?

Ok, the answers seems to be YES it is the same
Liliputing - Linux 3D graphics support for Rockchip RK3188 devices
But:
"At this point hardware-accelerated graphics should enable support for 3D graphics and games, but not necessarily for hardware-accelerated HD video playback."

That's basically how I understand it. When I tested it with video it seemed pretty obvious that it was not doing any hardware encoding/decoding.

My way on MK802 IV-->

This works for my 802IV:
EGL_VERSION = 1.4 Linux-r3p2-01rel2
vertex shader info:
fragment shader info:
info:
1240 frames in 5.0 seconds = 247.950 FPS
1238 frames in 5.0 seconds = 247.402 FPS
1318 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.442 FPS
1308 frames in 5.0 seconds = 261.600 FPS

Thanks Znet for this guide! I managed to get it working using your guide, and I'll update my Tiny Core recovery with this
Tiny Core Linux for mk908, full distro in recovery img

On omegamoon's blog I see you commented that your performance is a bit lower than what he (and now I) have. From the radxa community I learned this:

for xf86-video-fbturbo, mali-r3p2-support branch is better than 0.4.0 branch.

Maybe that will give you better framerate?

Otherwise it works!

Now (hopefully) a last question. I'm opening h.264 videos in mplayer, and wondering which options to try to get work over to the GPU? So far trying:

mplayer -vo dga moviefile.mov

is getting the video into the directframebuffer (fullscreen) but there are still issues with 'No accelerated colorspace conversion found from yuv420p to rgb5651e'. The video is still extremely slow and relying on sw scaling to achieve the colorspace conversion.

[ No control over video while it's playing, as you mentioned - at least with dga. ]

Maybe I just need to adapt in my video encoding.

I'll try some other options and post any success.

sa4, did you manage to enable video encoding/decoding on mali GPU in linux? Have you found options for mplayer to watch video smoothly?

Hello
Recently I tested the video playback and the best result is to use SDL.
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer
Can I play smoothly almost everything.
I use this mplayer2 with smplayer2-GUI with Qt5 ,and SDL2-lib on Ubuntu 14.04 trusty.
magnification image scrolling etc works perfect.
I do not use this gpu.
you can do a distro update to 14.04 , ! one note is all the beta version,

Could you please share you OS image to try? What kernel image are you using?

[knawnd]

just to make sure that I've got things right: you don't use GPU but use VPU via (X)Mir and android drivers Is that correct?
