Ubuntu 16.04 with Mali Drivers anyone?

sghazagh

Hi,
I have created the Lubuntu 16.04 LTS rootfs with all Mali and other drivers like WIFI,...
It's working fine and Iam using it.
However, I still use compiled version of kernel 3.10.0 and it has no issue.

Sorry I have no time to create the update_release image for you but my company can do that if you pay for it.

Hi MAC-11,
To be honest, I didn't make it too complicated as I only needed the server apps of Ubuntu and I never use that for using as a desktop.

By the way, I have used "libhybris". I am not sure but I think you, yourself has created the 'libhybris' in first place. Didn't you?
So whatever is in there I have used for kernel load and module the rest is just Lubuntu rootfs. But Mali has loaded as a module.

I was asking if we can use mainline kernel for Firefly and everyone replied that it has not been completed as it is a plan of Firefly to use and adjust it.
So did you use any Firefly branch or just the main Linux kernel branch you did use?
Can you share the GIT of the kernel you are using for clear access to that if I wanted to compile and use it as you did?


Meabwhile, did you look at the ARG on 3188 patches in here: https://github.com/lgeek/xf86-video-fbturbo
It seems that they fork and patches works fine on 3188. You might be able to adjust it for main Line kernel for 3288.

By the way, this is the responsibility of FireFly to release all these drivers and patches more often.
I don't know why the chines manufacture forget about their products when a new one comes out!!!

Thanks,
