Powervr Kernel Drivers Avaliable Now

[TomCooksey]

I just saw this on the BeagleBoard Mailing list:

QUOTE

Nokia was so kind to release the GPL'ed sources for the SGX kernel drivers[1], which I integrated into the 2.6.27 kernel in OE. You can get a kernel + modules set from [2] to try it out.
There is a catch: you need some userspace tools to init the drivers (which you need to get from TI[3] or imgtec) and userspace libraries for EGL and GLES (again, TI or imgtec).

Koen

And there's some very fine code inside (I peeked). B)

how was I able to miss that?

Woo! maciek_urbanski! Tear that code up!

The code inside is only a kernel portion of the driver. Most of work is done in user-mode and I'm reverse-engineering those user-space binaries for some time now...
But kernel mode code provides lots of info too... Saying that - I have my hands full with user mode.
Regardless... I couldn't help myself and I peeked. :rolleyes:
