Hi! I wonder why you cant get hw acceleration having freedreno... you cant use a proper kernel to get access to the gpu??

also, check this out, I am testing an x86 emulator with hw acceleration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIWePlAbLUs I have tons of videos but this one was on aarch64 with multiarch (box86 is armhf only)

One for you I think @robclark.

umm, is it? I've been using freedreno on my c630 for.. well I guess at least more than a year now.

(It requires devicetree boot, but basically everything needed for these laptops to be usable does)

You mean a proper dtb.. I didn't know you can even boot without it. I would love to do tinkering on that kind of hw. Especially with box86. Hope you show something on YouTube. Almost all the devices had been discontinued and even then they are extremely expensive for me. Makers should note there is a market for ARM Linux laptops powered by snapdragon and freedreno. Not at such prices

Yes you can. It also boots with ACPI.

The laptops are not designed for makers.

If you want a maker version, please see the 96Boards project and the like.
