Hi Firefly.

with new Mali- T860 Ubuntu can run:

yeah. had such problems with previous board RK3288. It has great hardware but Linux users are unable to use it anyway. Looks like this board will be the same

hey, guys. Please tell us, what hardware is being supported in Linux and what are our chances to build own fully-working Linux for this device? for example Gentoo based one

also it would be nice if you would add MicroPython support. Then your board would be very interesting even without GPU support

also please make firmware flashing method more user-friendly. I hate this windows utility you provide. Take for example dfu-util that is being user for PyBoard.

Totally agree that FireFly has no complete Linux support so far. So why should it get now? Don't believe

hi psycmos
yes, we have supported 3D ,and video accelerate(only h264). But we know it not support ...

i think you will end up with a solution like in Raspberry Pi - they allow to add keys bought for codecs and then it works fine.
