08:45 <chewitt> rah: the VIM3 has "as good as it gets" mainline hardware support

08:46 <chewitt> no pass-through audio support, and the vdec is still work-in-progress in some areas

08:46 <chewitt> no support for the NPU in the A311D chip

08:47 <chewitt> overall it's a nice (and fast) and stable board

14:15 <rah> chewitt: no working GL though :-(

14:16 <chewitt> GLES, but not GL

14:16 <chewitt> (afaaik)

14:16 <chewitt> GLES works fine

14:17 <chewitt> panfrost is still at an early stage of support but there are mali blobs and drivers until things get further along

16:41 <rah> chewitt: panfrost doesn't support the Mali G52 GPU in the A311D

16:44 <chewitt> rah: ahem https://twitter.com/LibreELEC/status/1272586755900915712

16:44 <chewitt> G52 has glitches to solve that aren't seen on G31, but i'm sure there'll be a eureka moment at some point

16:45 <rah> chewitt: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2020/06/05/bifrost-meets-gnome-onward-upward-zero-graphics-blobs/#qcom902

16:45 <chewitt> sure, but I'm the person who made the screenshot I linked :)

16:45 <chewitt> like I said, it's still early stage

16:46 <chewitt> and until then there are mali blobs that work fine

16:47 <rah> we have different ideas about what "working" means then :-)

16:51 <rah> 17:01 < rah> what about bifrost GPUs?

16:51 <rah> 17:02 <@HdkR> Bifrost is very early

16:51 <rah> 17:02 <@HdkR> It can run some pretty simple applications, expect bugs, crashes, slow performance, etc

16:51 <rah> from #panfrost

16:51 <rah> and that's the G31, not even the G52

20:13 <mankicks> 64-bit SoCs GBB/S905+ cross-toolchain link is dead ("latest" dir missing). Can someone tell me if this is the latest? Mod times are missing from the dir structure: https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/aarch64-linux-gnu/

20:14 <mankicks> (ref: doku.php)

20:17 <mankicks> Does anyone have a good primer blog post or wiki for newcomers to this space? I'm just wandering the net and piecing together info on AmLogic stuff.

20:35 <mankicks> Oh...I'm watching Neil's talk now ("Status of Mainline Linux on AmLogic SoCs"). Good information for noobs on Baylibre site itself. I'll try flashing one of these existing builds first...
