Mali GPU development boards

While there are a variety of Mali GPU licensees currently designing Mali GPUs into their SoCs, there are not necessarily many development boards available to the general public.

In order to provide application developers on Mali GPU-based projects with the hardware they need to get their work done, we would like to gain a strong (and accurate) understanding of what needs to be made available. What are the things you look for in a development platform?

    I'm really happy that ARM has their own GPU!

    IMHO, these are the next steps you should take:

    1) HW: Give to developers a low cost platform, like beagleboard, this was a boost for spread the ARM cores to new developers.
    2) SW: Simulators (you already have this!), Open source philosophy, OpenGL drivers for everybody. Don't do what IMGTEC have done.

    Cheers,
