Hi ptitSeb, I'm struggling to ger WebGL working on my system (EGL on Banana Pi with mali 400 GPU), and I have a couple of questions about your port. 1. You have modified gfx/gl/moz.build file to add EGL-related sources to the build, and used custom defines in GLContextProvider.h to set...

Hi ptitSeb, I have yet another question regarding the build process, autoconf specifically. What I want to achieve is to build everything with -ffast-math, except sqlite3 which wants to have this option disabled. To achieve this, I have added an option "SQLITE_CFLAGS=-fno-fast-math" to...

Thanks a lot, ptitSeb. I finally made it: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=10050

Hello ptitSeb, I wonder if you have any hints for me as I'm trying to build PaleMoon for my RPi. I'm trying to build the vanilla sources without your patch (it's for performance and WebGL, right?) I'm stuck because of assembly functions failing to compile...

Are you talking about Exagear 1.1? Where did you get it? I wrote to both exagear support and their tech forum, still waiting for a reply. It's ok now, testing the new version

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try out and report back. Meanwhile, I have another question: why is the SONAME of your library set to libGL.so.1.2.0 and not to libGL.so.1? This goes unnoticed on Pandora where all OpenGL apps are linked against glshim and thus import the correct SONAME, but...

Update: I managed to run some of the OpenGL software on Mali400 GPU using glshim, but it's far from perferct. Notably, darkplaces engine segfaults: openarena starts, but has several visual issues:

LIBGL_FB and LIBGL_STACKTRACE have had no effect. Running under gdb suggests (as per my limited knowlege) that the segfault comes from bcm_host_init(): EDIT: don't mind the stuff, after a git pull and make glxgears started to work.

I'm not sure if my question is on topic, but there seems to be no other place to ask. I recently bought a Banana pi, and I want to set up  OpenGL on it. I managed to build and install Mali GLES drivers: I also can see the colored triangle, so GLES seems to work fine. However, when I try to...

^ these look like meta-packages which tell opkg which packages a typical user needs. If you remove them, your system will not be immediately affected, since these packages contain no files. However, if there is a future update which adds a new package to the firmware, you might not get that...

I believe the part of iPhone anti-thieft scheme that really works is: a) you cannot use a stolen phone (it will be locked as soon as it connects to the network) b-) when (a) becomes common knowledge, thieves lose motivation to steal iPhones While (a) could theoretically be implemented in Pyra...

Quite the same thing will happen with my personal data if I forget the password for my HDD. Or if I lose my exagear activation key. Any kind of protection creates yet another point of failure. By the way, what is the MTBF of an OMAP chip? In 15 years there's a good chance your Pyra will be a...

There is no need to differentiate units. A stolen unit works normally and boots the OS (which in turn can ask for a password, but that's another story). Only when someone tries to reflash, the bootloader would check if the key on the SD card matches the key in the internal memory. The internal...

Being unable to reflash the Pyra will reduce this to alternatives 1 and 3 (1 being most likely). So yeah, it's more to annoy the thiefs than to protect legit users. And the reflash protection will reduce that amount to near zero. I'm not sure how to make myself clear. There is no need for...

Well, if it's technically impossible, there's nothing to discuss. I'm not that paranoid (not even sure I want to make a call-home script). @Inqui The whole point is that without bootloader support all the call-home scripts disappear after a reflash. I'm not a thief so I don't know how common is...

@Levi I agree that 'Find my phone' kind of apps should be coded by a developer after Pyra is released. However, such applications can only be effective if you can't bypass them by a simple reflash. This is where hardware support is required for protection. I don't quite understand why everyone...

Unability to reflash is not supposed to be a major issue by itself. It is supposed to help people who care to protect their units with a password. The idea is that you can't just skip a password by reflashing. If the stolen unit is useless without the reflash key, it may end up being sold on...

@Neelix Then why do iPhones have this feature? (I'm not being sarcastic here, just curious) @Levi Technically Pyra could require a keyfile on the bootable SD as well. People who boot from NAND would still be protected, while those who want to boot from SD just put the keyfile there. @Grench No...

As the price of the device we're (hopefully) going to get soon is quite high, I'd like to discuss anti thief protection. I know that development is limited in resources and time, but an effective protection is impossible without low-level support. The basic protection as I see it is to assign a...

Any reference to the official source for this one? I hate to question that other people say but I think it's appropriate when money is involved.
