Anyone have more info on the Imagination BXE-4-32 GPU this is using, especially the availability of open-source Linux drivers?
A few months ago the Imagination site had a press release[0] about upstreaming graphics drivers to Linux which mentioned "B-Series" and "BXS-4-64" -- is that close enough to the BXE-4-32 that driver compatibility can be expected? I tried searching through the kernel source for 'BXS' and 'Imagination', but the only relevant hit was for some unrelated GMA 500 device from Intel that used licensed Imagination tech.

- pabs3 4y agoThere have been posts on Phoronix about Imgtec drivers going into Linux/mesa occasionally, maybe the posts linked from them help you find the code in Linux/mesa. https://www.phoronix.com/news/PowerVR-DRM-Kernel-Driver-RFC https://www.phoronix.com/news/PowerVR-DRM-Kernel-Driver-RFC https://www.phoronix.com/news/Open-Source-PowerVR-Vulkan https://www.phoronix.com/news/Open-Source-PowerVR-Vulkan
