and informations are being kept updated on the debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/MaliGraphics (and related pages) but there doesn't seem to be much work done for allwinner SoCs, at the moment.
According to that web-page, there shouldn't need to be anything Allwinner-specific anyway, right (other than adding the GPU nodes to the relevant DTS)?
The talk in the video explained that right now packages have to be SoC-specific (and there may even be some allwinner-specific code that is required, but not necessarily available).
I don't remember all the details, however, and the talk explains them better than I could (sorry for the lack of text-based references).
no problem elena - i tracked it down: http://linux-sunxi.org/Mali400#Binary_driver
two variants / sets of instructions:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Mali_binary_driver http://free-electrons.com/blog/mali-opengl-support-on-allwinner-platforms-wi...
those are proprietary drivers so they will most definitely *NOT* be going onto the RYF-Certified EOMA68-A20 Cards. btw that reminds me, does anyone know the progress of the guy working for AMD who in his spare time is implementing MALI400 OpenGL compatible entirely libre drivers? he's *referencing* libv's work but is reimplementing the library from scratch. he... maay run into difficulties as MALI400 is so basic it requires significant parts to be done in software (CPU-side).
Mesa kmscube demo is running, though some/many components are still missing to call it complete.
He announced the status of his project just recently: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/opengl-vu...
