How hard is it to get Mali drivers on Linaro OS and Arndale board working?

Sean

I'd like to be able to do hardware GPU graphics work on an Arndale board running the Linaro's ubuntu build.  

How hard is it to set this up?  I'm not sure who to ask, I'll ask the Linaro guys as well but I'm hoping someone on this board who understands the driver stack can comment how hard this would be. 

Is it: just LD_LIBARARY_PATH hacks, or is it a kernel recompile, or is it not possible without a DDK or using Lima, or is it months of kernel work, or ???

    Hi spanyo,

    You can take the existing binary blobs you have, but the kernel space driver would need integrating with the kernel. For the Chromebook this is detailed in the guide in section 4.2, but for Linaro the exact steps will likely differ. If they have not done this already, or if they have done this with a different version of the kernel space driver, then you will need to integrate/upgrade/downgrade the kernel driver as needed.

    Hope this helps,

    Chris
