I won't be spending my money on that platform until that sorted out.
And judging from the other ARM platforms that means most likely never.
Over-hyped and under-delivered.
- csande17 2y agoGiven that all those things are from the list of features they plan to ship in the next two kernel releases, "never" seems a little pessimistic. They aren't even selling laptops with this chip yet!
- maven29 2y agoThis is the schedule for upstreaming/"main-lining". Realistically, customers using these SoCs will be building on a forked linux BSP (Board Support Package) with all of these included. To be fair, these might be server platforms and Chromebooks, nobody is buying ARM notebooks to run their favourite FEM package.
- betaby 2y ago> Chromebooks Qualcomm has been shipping closed-source modules for Android mobiles for years. Support of the another similar platform changes nothing. Adreno GPUs exist for many years and upstream support is deplorable. Nothing was stopping Chromebooks making ARM/Adreno support in upstream ever. Page is a marketing and not a binding. Continue to downvote all you want. Qualcomm and open source doesn't belong to the same sentence - history of the alternative ROM for Androids is a living poof.
