Do you mean this ?
Looks as though Freescale have made the closed source driver available for all the GPUs they use (Vivante). Have heard that JavaFX programs will run via the framebuffer (hardware rendering) just fine with both the closed (official) and open source (unofficial - reverse engineered) Vivante GPU drivers.
Presumably the closed source driver is an installer that is run on any Freescale imx6 board. If that is the case then TI’s GPU support is ahem, cough, cough severely lacking.
I have tested Ti gpu driver on omap5 uevm board based with GLSDK 6.04
The gpu driver crash didn’t be fixed for a very long time .
iMX6 GPU will crash also ,if high cpu load and very frequency interrupt case, you might get kernel panic on imx6-solo
but on fsl QUAD cores , Its more stable , maybe because of their gpu kernel driver is based on work queue . .
But for FSL kernel driver . lack of I2C /SPI dma support , if you want use very high spi through put , like DMB/CMMB chip always do
You will get poor performance .
Hang on a moment. The version of Yocto that is available for Wandboard targets the armhf CPU platform. Are the Panda’s notoriously unreliable hardware wise?
i.mx6 builtin sata: wand <-> sata drive
panda no sata: panda <-> usb-sata <-> sata drive..
The smsc95xx used on the panda, just isn't 100% reliable, when
compared to the imx6's builtin sata...
