OpenCL for Arndale board and Nexus 10

Wondering if OpenCL drivers will be made available for Arndale Board for Linux and Android, preferably without NDAs? And will we see OpenCL drivers shipping on Nexus 10?

edit: I am aiming to port my OpenCL projects (including this library: http://www.raijincl.org) to the Mali. Hoping we get to see OpenCL real soon on shipping devices.

    Hi krrrishnarraj,

    The userspace libraries and the kernel space modules (.so's and .ko's) are collectively referred to as the driver stack. libGLESv2.so, libOpenCL.so, libMali.so etc are all userspace components of the driver stack, and as mentioned above, the source code to these components is only provided as part of the DDK distributed to our licencees. It is the responsibility of the vendor of the SoC (Samsung in this case) to deliver these libraries, or sublicense the source code to their OEM's (Insignal in this case), who them pass them on as part of their product. ARM do not currently provide these libraries to end users. Typically only the kernel space components are provided by ARM under open source licenses on malideveloper.com.

    Please let me know if you need any clarification, but essentially you would need to approach Insignal who make the Arndale platform, and ask them to make the necessary components available to you.

    Thanks,
    Chris.
