Since when did Broadcom provide those?
- talldayo 2y agoArguably since the first model, which (for everything it lacked) did have functioning OpenGL 2.0-compliant drivers.
- MrDrMcCoy 2y agoMy memory is fuzzy, but I recall that some models had very limited hardware acceleration support in the driver stack for things like video codecs, OpenCL, and Vulcan, unless you used the official kernel with the Broadcom blob. I never liked running that due to bloat and the age of the kernel/Debian they ship. All that combined with the performance of the SOC compared to its peers from Rockchip/Mediatek/Samsung and lack of eMMC support pretty much drove me away from Raspberry Pi devices in favor of Radxa and ODROID boards.
