Mali G72 #1

Closed janrinze closed 8 months ago

janrinze commented 5 years ago

The Kirin 970 has a Mali G72. How much work would it be to add support for the G72? The G72 is a bifrost GPU too, would there be much overlap or is it a lot different?

@janrinze it is all about platform integration look here https://github.com/superna9999/meson_g12a_mali_bifrost/tree/BX301A01B-SW-99002-r16p0-01rel0_meson-g12a/driver/product/kernel/drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/platform You will need just kirin integration part. But some integrators like rockchip didn't implement support for kernel modules

If starting off fresh it would need a ton of work. The Mali-G72 cores do not have their own things and rely on the software to work correctly.

This is Midgard. Midgard is a separate family of GPU models for ARM.

My Kirin 970 board died long ago. Better to close this issue.

Makes sense. Sorry to hear and I hope you've a better system with more support.
