I tought I would give you a heads uo, in case you had not seen this. The pcDuino board uses the Mali 400 GPU and they have a linux distro. It uses the a10 Allwinner CPU, but I hope this help crack our long running issue with the APC.

Do you think it would be possible to extract the Mali drive from the pcDuino Distro and use that??

Hi,

I already saw it, and we should give this a try. To be honest, I wrote this in my TODO list a couple of month ago, but this list is growing amazingly fast.

But this driver need to use the Allwinner kernel that come for this driver. So we have to extract all the Mali related source code from the Allwinner kernel, inject this into our kernel, fix the Mali-Driver installer, and pray for compatibility between Mali-400 and Mali-200.

So, It should worth the shot, but for now I don't have the time to try.
