Firefly-RK3399 launched on Kickstarter: ARM Six-Core 64-bit Cortex-A72

I see some OpenCV and OpenCL files in the BSP, will I be able to do any hardware accelerated video processing like stereoscopic disparity maps/depth with two cameras in realtime, face/object tracking etc even though there are some issues with hardware acceleration on the linux desktop environment? These functions are the sole reason I ordered the RK3399, and it would be a big letdown if the complexity to implement such things required arm assembler knowledge to implement,

Will the PCIe bus be usable for devices other than modems? I saw the M.2 had 4 pci lanes going to it, maybe with an adapter?

The board arrived today, I have to say I am pleased overall, several things I did not expect to be finished on the Linux BSP were actually quite well polished, dragging windows, youtube, pandora worked great after an apt-get upgrade, to say the least, I had cross complied linux and android expecting it would be required to "test it out" and to my amazement a dual-boot configuration had already been installed! The board looks fantastic, high quality and was ready to go out of the box, not to mention I received my board no more than one day after the promised shipping date on kickstarter! This is a first for me with any project on kickstarter and I am impressed! Thanks Firefly!

I noticed an issue with the Linux bsp not acknowledging the PCIe bus power supplies (0.9v,1.8v,3.3v) on boot and not enumerating pci devices. This may be part of the problem. @isle would you be kind enough to move his and my posts to a new thread maybe "RK3399 PCIe broken?"

So people can use fakeroot and compile for the RK3399 target on that machine (if they set up SD card or external HDD) Could you please have your development team add

CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
to
~\proj\firefly-rk3399\kernel\arch\arm64\configs\firefly_linux_defconfig

Otherwise you get an error message about System V IPC support not being enabled in the kernel when you try to build using the "official Ubuntu method" on the RK3399
