Firefly-RK3288 Slackware Arm

hi mara,

great work! especially getting drm + mali in combination with recent kernel running, great!

i tried to rebuild your slackware image based on mainline kernel using your advanced scripts on bitbucket (testing branch). only dont know what firefly .config you use? can you share your config file?
my goal is then to include vpu support with mainline kernel and in combination with x11 apps like kodi.

hope you are willing to share.

hi mara & aussijohn,

tnx mara, for the kernel!

had to patch manually https://github.com/T-Firefly/lin ... bf65c63cb5c6911a0cb "rk3288: add mtdpart partition support and volname attribute" to make the kernel recognize partitions. and then used

1. CMDLINE:console=ttyS2,115200 console=tty0 earlyprintk root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 init=/sbin/init initrd=0x62000000,0x00800000 mtdparts=rk29xxnand:0x00008000@0x00002000(kernel),0x00008000@0x0000A000(boot),-@0x00012000(linuxroot)

Copy the code

for emmc. hope this helps!

Hi mara ,
Does the  "slack-current-xfce_07Apr16-4.6.0-rc1-firefly-build-20160417.img " get the mali ...

Hi mara,

I would be very interested what "FPS-scores" es2gears and glmark2 (opengl test applications for X11) give on your slackware-release?

Actually I've got very slow framerates (like 5 fps with kodi fullscreen/1080p ) with mainline kernel including mali and armsoc on ubuntu 16.04...

hi mara,
are you using opengl for mali-t760 from arm?

1.     OpenGL Information
   
2.     GL_VENDOR:     ARM
   
3.     GL_RENDERER:   Mali-T760
   
4.     GL_VERSION:    OpenGL ES 3.1 v1.r6p0-02rel0.4b8779afaaaf01b0c5ec7bfb4419c6ab

Copy the code

i've got same kernel with ubuntu 16.04 using armsoc and get score 9 for glmark2-es. so about 10 fps...
still way too slow especially as it is only a window and not full-screen/1080p...
