What needs to be done, as I posted before in http://bbs.t-firefly.com/forum.p ... =697&page=1#pid3499
With this release from ARM the current status is:
1) Kernel mali driver: just checked firefly's lollipop git repo and correct version is already included in lollipop kernel, so should work.
2) User space mali drivers for X11: binary libs made and released by ARM, downloadable. Don't know how linkable they are for what specific linux versions.
Still open, to do: the X11 DRIVERS
3) DRM driver - For X11 support you also need to build rockchip drm kernel driver. Seems there is one included in lollipop kernel of firefly's github (see https://bitbucket.org/T-Firefly/firenow-lollipop/src/95519f45c3214fb3b3547c9fdeca3cb8715d5210/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/?at=Firefly-RK3288), or another one is provided in mminds github: https://github.com/mmind/linux-r ... vel/somewhat-stable. Tried the first one few months ago and that didnt build then, the latter one is probably made for kernel 4.x. If buildable, this gives some drm.ko file that offers a generic GPU rendering interface needed by X. So some work to be done here.
4) xf86-video-armsoc - You also need a X11 user-space display driver specific for that GPU, and this is provided in mminds github: https://github.com/mmind/xf86-video-armsoc/tree/packaging/debian. X11 server will load this driver to do the accelerated display stuff.
Besides these 4 drivers, maybe some generic X11 components need to be rebuild.
And again, basically, that's all ;-)
Just hope some hero developer is willing to put some effort into this and make it work! |
