There is a similar problem with the TI OpenGL drivers. The Graphics SDK
available from TI website is a huge auto-extractable binary which
contains (amongst a ton of crap) the binary driver. Some embedded Linux
build systems (such as OpenBricks) have re-packaged only the necessary
bits, have put those tarballs online and use them in their package
recipes instead of the original TI stuff.
Ideally, I'd prefer to use the original TI stuff as well, but the size
of the downloads are horribly huge, and they keep moving things around
on their website all the time. It is not even simple to find what it
the latest version of what. TI's management of software support is
really horrible.
Regards,
Thomas
