ARM V550/egile VPU Linux device drivers source code

Mani

Hi There,

I am looking for ARM V550/egile VPU Linux device drivers source code, where do I get it?   Does ARM supplies it?  Also how about the VPU internal firmware?

Kindly let me know the details asap.

Thanks,

Mani.

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for the information,

    so as I understand, for VPU's (ex:Mali-V550 , Mali- egil)  ARM provides the Linux device driver with OpenMax IL interface.  This can be downloaded from ARM site.  BTW may I know the respective download path/link.    

    VPU internal firmware are only licensed/sold. 

    Please correct me, if I am wrong.

    Thanks,

    Mani.
