Step 1: you need the v4.4.x-bone kernel, so on the Beagle you run:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh --bone-kernel --lts-4_4

Step 2: run the sgx_create_package.sh “It is done from an x86 pc with unbuntu version 32bits. You can do it from a live installation.”

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git
cd bb-kernel/
git checkout origin/am33x-v4.4 -b tmp-sgx
./sgx_create_package.sh

Step 3: copy the “GFX_5.01.01.02_es8.x.tar.gz”
located in the folder bb-kernel / deploy to the Bone and run

sudo tar xfv GFX_5.01.01.02_es8.x.tar.gz -C /
cd /opt/gfxinstall/
sudo ./sgx-install.sh
sudo reboot

Step 4:

cd /etc/init.d

debian@arm:/etc/init.d$ sudo lsmod | grep omaplfb
omaplfb 12718 0
pvrsrvkm 158851 1 omaplfb
tilcdc 27951 1 omaplfb

acceleration activated.

Ok Thanks a lot,
