Mali Drivers

dewet

New version released.

Kernel Device Driver r5p1-00rel0 – T860/T880 now supported

Released : 17 February 2015

Anybody try to compile, and update the source codes.

There are now userspace drivers for this, so it's pointless.

Will only be released end March, beginning April by ARM for Firefly.

I really can't understand why ARM is taking so long to release Mali drivers and then it's only for Android.

They release only halve the Linux drivers eg. kernel ones and leave the userspace drivers out.

When full drivers get released, it only works for a specific kernel and specific device and is so slow.

Then it needs another couple of months work by the chip vendors eg. Rockchip to make it usable and fast.

In comparison Intel devices work straight out of the box with Android, Linux and Windows.

Hey there! Sounds super frustrating getting those Mali drivers to work and hitting that 'parameter is invalid' wall. Kernel stuff can be a real headache! Hope you get those files soon. If you need a break from all that debugging, why not chill out with some fun at hypackel games?
