vc4 opengl driver
« on: December 20, 2016, 01:48:54 AM »
I am interested in using the open source vc4 opengl driver.


I believe this needs kernel 4.10 or 4.11?   Has anyone rebuilt the kernel or mesa with success for this driver?

The mainline kernel is only at 4.9.   So the kernels you referred to don't exist yet.

The kernel I have is only 4.4


How would I compile the kernel?  Can I use the raspbian kernel?

Assume that you are following http://anholt.livejournal.com/   this is all future discussion.   4.9 kernel is released now. Mainline will move to 4.10 soon.  There is obviously a process in which submissions for features are handled ahead of kernel releases.

As for building kernel,  if you google, you will find many pages giving you a step by step process to build a kernel.   There are several threads around here outlining remastering the kernel into tinycore.   Remastering is covered in the wiki too.

Not a simple feat if you haven't done kernel work before.
