Seeing how the company is “commited to open source” and SGX540 was introduced in 2007 (16 years ago now), what’s really stopping you from opening up the register/programming docs for these GPU’s?
It can’t be IP, it’s not like we all don’t know it has a CPU on it running a microkernel which accepts commands from the driver and it’s not like other company’s don’t know how to do that, surely?
I have an old Panda Board 2.0 ES (SGX540 based GPU) sitting doing nothing and I’ve been thinking about some OS level projects (not Linux) and being able to make a start, at least, on a gpu driver for it is a blocker.
Now with series 6 opened up, and lots of people who have devices with the SGX5 series on want to keep their devices running for longer who have been asking for over a decade, surely now’s the time?
I refer you to a another thread here for more.
Thanks,
Luke.
