The enable flag for the driver is 'imagination-experimental', so I don't think it's ready to be enabled. Is there even kernel support? What hardware is available?

What hardware is available? My RISC-V VisionFive 2 Running Gentoo has one of these GPU's =============================================================== Platform name: PowerVR Platform profile: EMBEDDED_PROFILE Platform vendor: Imagination Technologies Platform version: OpenCL 3.0 --------------------------------------------------------------- Device name: PowerVR B-Series BXE-4-32 Device type: ALL | GPU Device memory: 7927 MB Device max clock speed: 594 MHz Device compute units: 1 The Kernel has been Modified by StarFive and Imagination Technologies is Open Sourcing the Drivers and making updates to Mesa. More Details About The VisionFive 2 are available at https://rvspace.org/ Additionally the STAR64 Model-A 8GB Single Board Computer also has one of these GPU's. See https://pine64.com/product/star64-model-a-8gb-single-board-computer/ for more details Okay, thanks. So there isn't an upstream kernel driver. I really doubt Imagination wants us shipping the Mesa driver at this point. There was a similar situation with asahi in bug #881669. Please just copy the Mesa ebuild to a local overlay and add imagination support if you want it now. It's not something I want to add at this point. |
