You can run Gnome just fine, hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding works, HDMI with a few features is mainline, the only thing left is the Mali GPU, which is a fairly simple GPU as far as that kind of hardware goes, as compared to AMD or Nvidia GPUs.
On that note, there has been a fair bit of activity on Lima as of late, which is a big change from a few years ago: https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima/tree/lima-4.16-rc5/drivers/gpu/drm/lima https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima/tree/lima-4.16-rc5/drivers...
- TheCycoONE 9y agoIsn't Lima for 200 and 400 series. Tinkerboard needs has a 700 which already has kernel support but will need Panfrost for open source userspace.
- StudentStuff 9y agoLima is for 200 and 400 series, which were what we were discussing earlier in this thread.
- quanto 9y agohow mature is Panfrost? I have a board with Mali T720 (Allwinner H6) and I cannot get any GPU support currently.
- petecox 9y agoDoes libhybris work with Allwinner SBCs? i.e. using ARM's proprietary driver for Mali from Android. (FOSS drivers might be in development but pragmatically I'd choose something that works)
- TheCycoONE 8y agoNot useable yet. It has shaders and can draw triangles but no textures or FBOs.
