building vivante drivers(so's) compatible with xorg13.0 and above

Hello everyone,

I am working on freescale i.MX6 SABRE-AUTO board. I am trying to get familiar with the board, by making use of the BSP provided by Freescale.
After reading few posts and forums, I came to know that, VIVANTE GPU drivers shipped with the BSP do not support Xorg13.0 and above, which I intend to use.
Can you please provide any help regarding building the vivante drivers(user space) for armv7l using yocto project?
How should I go about this activity?

P.S. I am not interested in building the entire YOCTO image.

Thanks and regards,
Prathamesh Ghanekar

Please, enter a SR asking what you need to Freescale.
Vivante GPU libraries/user space is released as binary only

It does; we had problems in past but now the Vivante GPU drivers
provide support for newer Xorg releases (master is broken at this
moment though). In Dora you will get Xorg 1.14 working fine.
