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?

Hi Saoud

When I write open source GPU, I'm basically referring to a GPU for which documents are released, that enables software developers outside of ARM to develop an (open source) driver for the GPU in question.
AMD and Intel have released such documents, which are available here:
[url="http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/"]http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/[/url]
[url="http://www.x.org/docs/intel/"]http://www.x.org/docs/intel/[/url]

I'm very interested in what your thoughts (both yours personally, and ARM as a company) are on doing this, and if you can elaborate on your decision about doing it or not.

Thanks for your time!
