I am testing RK3288 with ubuntu 20.04 (gnome) btw NICE And I have some problems with panfrost and I am looking for anybody with RK3288 device that can confirm or not same behavior. Problem is that when I switch GPU to 600MHz sudo bash -c 'echo "userspace" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/devfreq/ffa30000.gpu/governor' sudo bash -c 'echo "600000000" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/devfreq/ffa30000.gpu/userspace/set_freq' and when I run glmark2-es2 or glmark2-es2-wayland I start to see https://pastebin.com/NuYqHdxH in kernel.log So I made bugreport(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2693) for panfrost and they think that problem is in low voltage on gpu as everything is fine on 400MHz So anybody can try? just build ubuntu 20.04 for your RK3288 device sudo BETA=yes EXPERT=yes ./compile.sh server build should be fine and then apt install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu 20.04 has almost latest mesa so everything work just fine

Why?

I want to make panfrost work on H6 platform, I use linux 5.6.16 latest mesa Xorg 1.20 I install and run them. But they dispaly : DRM_IOCTL_PANFROST_MMAP_BO failed: No such file or directory What should I do?

The latest libgl1-mesa-dri upgrade brought with it panfrost to the desktop

Hello, I have read a lot to get panfrost ins a s912 tv box, but always with same result... llvmpipe. I don t know how to make it works... I have a H96 pro plus 3GB 32GB, S912. I tried with a lot balbes150 images, Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW and S9xx images. Now with 20.5.2, 5.7 focal. malloc@arm-64:~$ inxi -F System: Host: arm-64 Kernel: 5.7.0-rc1-arm-64 aarch64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.14.2 Distro: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Machine: Type: ARM Device System: Amlogic Meson GXM (S912) Q200 Development Board details: N/A CPU: Topology: 8-Core (2-Die) model: ARMv8 v8l variant: cortex-a53 bits: 64 type: MCP MCM Speed: 1512 MHz min/max: 100/1512:1000 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 1512 2: 1512 3: 1512 4: 1512 5: 1000 6: 1000 7: 1000 8: 1000 Graphics: Device-1: meson-gxm-dw-hdmi driver: meson_dw_hdmi v: N/A Device-2: meson-gxm-mali driver: panfrost v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.org 1.20.8 driver: modesetting resolution: <xdpyinfo missing> OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 9.0.1 128 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 20.1.0-devel (git-cdc4377 2020-04-18 focal-oibaf-ppa) Audio: Device-1: meson-gxm-dw-hdmi driver: meson_dw_hdmi Device-2: gx-sound-card driver: gx_sound_card Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.7.0-rc1-arm-64 Network: Device-1: meson-gxbb-dwmac driver: meson8b_dwmac IF: eth0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 78:c2:c0:9a:80:f1 Device-2: pwm-clock driver: pwm_clock Drives: Local Storage: total: 58.84 GiB used: 2.96 GiB (5.0%) ID-1: /dev/mmcblk0 vendor: SanDisk model: SL32G size: 29.72 GiB ID-2: /dev/mmcblk1 model: 032G74 size: 29.12 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 28.39 GiB used: 2.87 GiB (10.1%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/mmcblk0p2 ID-2: /boot size: 511.0 MiB used: 65.5 MiB (12.8%) fs: vfat dev: /dev/mmcblk0p1 ID-3: /var/log size: 48.4 MiB used: 2.3 MiB (4.8%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/zram0 Sensors: Missing: Required tool sensors not installed.

The Panfrost project building a free, Open Source graphics driver for modern Mali GPUs has reached a new milestone: the first 3D render, including basic texture support, on a Bifrost chip (Mali G31)! View the full article

Panfrost's ES 3.0 support has landed in upstream Mesa and works with a mainline Linux kernel. The support is still early, but if you're feeling adventurous, feel free to give it a try on your favourite ES 3.0 applications and games. View the full article

Anybody have success with panfrost? kernel module and userspace module I have firefly 3399( 5.4.8-rockchip64) board And I don't see panfrost in dmesg or lsmod Any idea?

I need one more component working. 3D and OpenCL. Has anyone successfully installed Panfrost on a RK3399 board ? Update! I manged to build the Panfrost X11 driver. Here's how I did it: https://panfrost.freedesktop.org/building-panfrost-mesa.html Before you create the build directory update the meson_options.txt file change platforms from auto to x11 change dri_driver from auto to swrast change gallium-drivers to panfrost cd to the build directory meson .. . -Ddri-drivers= -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dlibunwind=false --prefix=/{wherever you want} ninja install before you start a program export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/{wherever your path is} glmark2-es2 When I get home from work I will test further. I will update later. I wanted to post just in case anyone else wishes to try it. I got to go to sleep, work tomorrow.

Ongoing work on the reverse-engineered Panfrost OpenGL ES driver for Arm Mali GPUs has turned the RK3399 SoC into a very attractive platform to try out Wayland on ARM devices. View the full article

In my last Panfrost blog post, I announced my internship goal: improve Panfrost to run GNOME3. GNOME is a popular Linux desktop making heavy use of OpenGL; to use GNOME with only free and open source software on a machine with Mali graphics, Panfrost is necessary. View the full article

Years ago, I joined the open-source community with a passion and a mission: to enable equal access to high-quality computing via open-source software. With this mission, I co-founded Panfrost, aiming to create an open-source driver for the Mali GPU. View the full article

Hello. I'm just wondering if anyone here has successfully built the latest Linux Kernel 5.2 rc for any of the RK3288 based sbc's. I'm using the Tinkerboard S specifically and have read about several improvements that have been included in this kernel and including panfrost support which seems rather exciting.

Next week, Collaborans will be in Bangkok, Thailand, to participate in the 25th edition of Linaro Connect, a gathering of the world's leading open source engineers working on Arm. Tomeu Vizoso and Gustavo Padovan will be in attendance to present Panfrost. View the full article

During the past few months significant progress has been made on the Open Source Arm Mali GPU driver front, culminating in the Panfrost driver targeting Mali T and G-series of GPUs being available now. View the full article

Following two months of work to develop a new kernel driver for Midgard and Bifrost GPUs, the kernel side of Panfrost is now in a form close to be acceptable in the mainline Linux kernel. View the full article

Panfrost, a project that delivers an open source implementation of a driver for the newest versions of the Mali family of GPUs, now includes support for running Wayland compositors and zero-copy GPU-accelerated clients. View the full article
