Title: mali 400 working?
Post by: bobdole on October 21, 2015, 05:48:56 PM
Has anyone managed to get Hardware acceleration working. Does the latest Debian image have a mali 400 driver. i want to get into opengles and 3d programming for arm but cant get any basic tests working. for example in the console typing esgears and es2_info shows only software mode working. (you need to have mesa-utils-extra installed for the tech demo tests).
is there any linux image working with gpu for the A20 micro or lime2?

I managed to compile and run on A20 most of the c++ example applications from the Android NDK (Native Development Kit).
Those that didn't work require newer Android version.
Worked in 1280x720:
GL2JNI
DemoActivity (5-10 FPS)
Plasma
Teapot (in 50 FPS)
NativeAudio
SpeechRecorder

Good idea, Didn't think of android. Must see how the Mali400 gpu driver was implemented in android.
