Is there a way that I can run OpenCL under Linux on the Mali on the Juno board?
Thanks for your reply..
I was under the impression Mali Kernel drivers themselves have support for OpenCL. So if i wanted to add OpenCL support to
juno board on linux, how can i do it ? Is there any souce code for OpenCL
available which i can port and enable OpenCL support in LSK ? If not, is
there no way for me to run OpenCL applications under linux on Juno ?
What is the purpose of user space drivers
I shall be greatful for ur answers.
thanks
Hi Simon,
I'm not a Mali expert. But AFAIK the Mali kernel drivers are relatively lightweight (mostly concerned with passing data back and forth) and don't contain any specific support for OpenGL, Open CL, etc.
This level of support is provided by the user space drivers (.so libs).
You are correct that the latest Mali prebuilt deliverables (at http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/features/mali-t6xx-gpu-user-space-drivers/) do include support for Open CL
Prebuilt drivers are provided for some 3rd party platforms. However this support is not currently available for the Juno platform.
In summary: I'm afraid there is no public OpenCL support for Juno customers at this time.
