HW Acceleration Working - Luke - 04-06-2016

Hey Guys

I need some help getting the HW acceleration working on the Pine64. Any and all guidance would'd be much appreciated. Thanks !

You can check out on Sunxi. http://linux-sunxi.org

Hey tllim it looks like we need the mali linux binary to get some 2d/3d acceleration working. It looks like it was not packaged in the BSP kit (3.10.65 kernel or 3.4). Any chance you can get a copy of the mali binaries so we can acceleration working.

Please and thanks.

Try https://github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-fbturbo  instructions included

RE: Help with HW Acceleration - longsleep - 04-14-2016

I have binaries for Ubuntu of xf86-video-fbturbo in a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-pine64-flavour-makers - the ppa is added by default with my Xenial image.

RE: Help with HW Acceleration - moondark - 04-19-2016

Can we use GLES with this? It seems it is still using MESA Software rendering drivers after installing this.
If libMali for arm64 is not available, http://limadriver.org a solution, maybe?

RE: Help with HW Acceleration - moondark - 04-20-2016

I was able to compile the Mali-Fbdev drive from the ARM Mali website. Now I'm downloading the kernel source so I can compile the mali_drm kernel module, not included with xenial. I will try the libmali.so binaries for arm64 also available from the ARM Mali website.

Some progress:

Any recommendations?

RE: Help with HW Acceleration - moondark - 04-20-2016

Damn, Mali DRM module is incompatible with 3.x kernels

https://community.arm.com/thread/4029

Just tried to compile it and found several symbols not available anymore. This may need some development. Sad

RE: Help with HW Acceleration - longsleep - 04-20-2016

Yes that's why it is not built in my kernel :-)

I've just found someone that updated mali_drm to work with the new drm kernel functions (for kernel 3.x)

https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel/tree/master/linux-3.4/modules/mali

It compiles just fine using your kernel source (3.10.65). But I cannot insert the module, maybe something I'm missing:

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module mali_drm.ko: Invalid module format

Ok, i'm having some problems with the magicversion (somehow it added a plus sign after the extra version), forcing is not working either, I will check this later.
