Etnaviv DRM Driver To Add GC3000 Support To Linux 4.9
Open-source graphics contributor Lucas Stach has submitted the Etnaviv DRM driver pull request to DRM-Next for the future Linux 4.9 kernel cycle.
This open-source reverse-engineered DRM driver for Vivante graphics will add support for the GC3000 with this next kernel. The GC3000 is found in -- and should be working with on Linux 4.9 -- the NXP i.MX6 QuadPlus SoC.
In addition to the GC3000 support in Etnaviv, this updated driver has various clean-ups, refactoring, and support for the new MMU Version 2. This MMUv2 support isn't as mature as MMUv1, but it's at least able to bring up the newer cores.
