Hi,
I have Arndale 5250 board which has a mali GPU. I have downloaded ubuntu images (linaro) based on 3.10.37 kernel and written it to a SD card and it boots successfully.
Now my intention is to boot same board with mainline kernel along with mali driver. I have downloaded mainline linux kernel from kernel.org and linux GPU driver.
I had taken config and board.dtb file from ubuntu binary and converted into dts file and used the same for building linux kernel. With the image built I was able to boot Arndale 5250 board succussfully. Next I integrated mali driver as a part of kernel and rebuilt the kernel. While booting new image on board, mali gpu doesn't get probed/initialized. It shows following error message
.mali: Platform data not specified
mali: probe of 11800000.mali failed with error -2
Similar error was reported for which suggested solution states the "Platform data not specified" error should now be fixed with the "CONFIG_MALI_PLATFORM_THIRDPARTY_NAME=arndale_octa" option, which includes the "drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/platform/arndale_octa" directory.
But my driver downloaded from malideveloper.arm.com doesn't contain platform data for arndale.
Please let me know
Regards,
Madhu
Hi Madhu,
If I understand your question correctly, in order for any application to use OpenCL API, you need to include the OpenCL headers, and link against the OpenCL library.
No other 'OSS packages' are required.
This holds true for almost all API's, such as Open GL ES.
I hope this helps,
