Hi there
I have been looking around for ways to download a recent kernel source with Vivante support to be compiled for my imx6q (Sabrelite).
I have looked into the stuff Freescale is providing which is apparently based on OE, if I'm correct ?
I basically just need the kernel with Vivante support so I can build it myself because we have our own distro (based on Ubuntu/Debian) where we compile everything ourselves.
I have used the Freescale kernel from their landing team at Linaro which was fine and I have also compiled a mainline kernel that runs on my board, but that one didn't have acceleration (vivante) support.
I'm not sure how to orientate myself in this new Freescale landscape, so I guess I'm asking for some guidance on how to follow my request.

For SabreLITE you need to use Boundary Devices tree. I am adding Eric
in Cc so he can provide you some more information if need.
The source code is available at github at
https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6

Hi and thanks for the reply.
This kernel available from Freescale/BoundaryDevices is quite old, version 3.0. Is there any plan on staying more up-to-date ?
I read somewhere on imxcommunity (https://community.freescale.com/thread/301032), which is from last year, that you (Otavio) where trying to follow the mainline kernel. Is that correct ?
Can I perhaps merge the vivante sources provided in this version into a newer kernel version ?? or is it to much of incompatibility ?
regards
Einar

Yes; this is based on 3.0.35 and this is the newest version you can
have with Vivante support for now.

It is not me specifically but many people are trying to get things
working in mainline kernel but I don't think all features will be
available there soon (GPU and like).

ok, good to know. This version will then do for now.
Thank you for this.

Hello Einar,
Note that this is really off-topic for the meta-freescale list
but we're happy to help.
Note that if you're just getting started, there's a tarball
of a recent kernel, modules, and boot script here:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/boundarydevices.com/L3.0.35-01.01.01-kernel-and-bootscript-20130312.tar.gz
as discussed in this blog post comment:
http://boundarydevices.com/timesys-2013-03-release/#comment-28243
Our latest kernel branch is 'boundary-imx_3.0.35_1.1.1' and
can be retrieved from Github:
https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/tree/boundary-imx_3.0.35_1.1.1
Please contact us off-list if you need any help getting this
built in your environment.
Eric
