Need a tutorial: install latest Mali kernel space drivers, please..

Hello.

I need to learn how to install Mali drivers. Both kernel space and user space. I'm using the Odroid XU4 with Mali T628.

Currently, I'm trying to understand how to install kernel space drivers.

As an advanced linux user I know how to build and install a custom linux kernel.

But from the downloaded kernel space drivers' sources I cannot understand how to use them.

The kernel space drivers' directory tree is this:

macbook@terminalx:~/Downloads/TX011-SW-99002-r7p0-02rel0 $ tree -d

.

└── driver

    └── product

        └── kernel

            ├── Documentation

            │   └── devicetree

            │       └── bindings

            │           └── arm

            ├── drivers

            │   ├── base

            │   │   ├── dma_buf_lock

            │   │   │   └── src

            │   │   ├── dma_buf_test_exporter

            │   │   ├── kds

            │   │   └── ump

            │   └── gpu

            │       │   └── midgard

            │       │       ├── backend

            │       │       │   └── gpu

            │       │       ├── docs

            │       │       ├── platform

            │       │       │   ├── devicetree

            │       │       │   ├── juno_soc

            │       │       │   ├── vexpress

            │       │       │   ├── vexpress_1xv7_a57

            │       │       │   └── vexpress_6xvirtex7_10mhz

            │       │       └── platform_dummy

            │       └── drm

            │           └── pl111

            ├── include

            │   └── linux

            └── patches

So what should I do next? Of corse I'm going to build everything either on linux with cross compilations or on the dev board.

Please, any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

  • What is the current driver revision that is available for partners? I can see ES Emulator was updated with AEP features since version 2.2 and I can also see that Samsung tends to take a long time with updates, at least when it comes to a minor firmware releases.

    Since my post about "Mali r5p0 driver is trying

    to report its version to

    EGL_VERSION" there were two minor updates on S6/Edge and they didn't include an updated driver which is reasonable when you have to push a number of devices in a short time
