Mali GPUs Linux Device Drivers r2p0-05rel0 Source Code released

Hi guys,
We're pleased to announce the availability of the latest open source release r2p0-05rel0 of the the Mali-200 and Mali-400 GPUs Linux Device Drivers available under GPLv2 license.
The Linux version of the Mali DDKs include two components which run within the kernel. The most important of these, known as the Device Driver, provides the low-level access to the Mali-200 or Mali-400 GPU. An important, secondary component is the Unified Memory Profider (UMP) which can be used in a variety of ways to faciliate zero-copy operations within the driver stack.
From the r2p0 release onwards, both of these components are being made available under the GPLv2 licence. This page provides access to the source packages from which loadable kernel modules can be built.
Note that these two components are not a complete driver stack. To build a functional OpenGL ES or OpenVG driver you need access to the full source code of the Mali DDK, which is provided under the standard ARM commercial licence to all Mali GPU customers.
The two open source components provided on this page are designed to run with r2p0 release of the Mali DDK. In functional and performance terms they are identical to the Device Driver and UMP implementations provided under the commercial licence. By also releasing them under the GPLv2 licence we hope to make it easier to include Mali drivers in any Linux platform.
Happy Hacking Guys!
Cheers,
Nizar
