Hi,
As I know, the lastest version of midgard DDK can support wayland egl.
Is there any plan to support it for mali400(utgard)? or do you already have the supported version?
Thanks.
Yes, Utgard already supports Wayland. We've released some user-space binary drivers for Mali-450 64-bit tested on the Linaro HiKey 96Boards (Utgard driver r6p0-01rel0):

We're planning to release the 32-bit version as well, and while it's technically possible to produce drivers for Mali-400 we don't currently have them on our roadmap as we're focusing on the newer Mali-450 GPU.
Best wishes,
Guillaume
Hi are there any updates on this? Would really like to get Wayland running on the ODROID-C2 (MALI-450), what is necessary to get support from ARM on this?
A 32-bit version of the same drivers has since been released. It has been tested on HiKey in 32-bit mode but should in principle work with most GNU/Linux systems with an ARMv7 processor and a Mali-450 GPU like the ODROID-C2. The binaries can be downloaded here:
ARM Mali Utgard GPU series User Space Drivers
Does it require DRM? Hikey has DRM in mainline kernel, amlogic (odroid c2) does not. So this means you can't run GBM, but would you be able to run weston with the fbdev wayland backend?
The matching Utgard kernel drivers, Linux Kernel Device Driver r6p0-01rel0, only includes X11 DRM.
How can we get it working with Wayland as it requires DRM and ODROID-C2 doesn't have a mainline DRM implementation as marianmi mentioned above.
