Orange PI PC2 / H5 mali blob

noblock · June 10, 2017

I just checked the mali blob: mali450r5p001rel0linux1fbdevarm64v8a (fbdev) and this blob is working on the legacy kernel with the proper patches.

Nevertheless we may have some stability issues at the current voltage/frequence; Indeed gl-mark2-es-fb crashes around the refract test on my board.

I'm very interested in following/testing the development of mali for this device. Could you explain in a nutshell how to get your setup? Installing latest armbian with mainline kernel, download blob from https://developer.arm.com/products/software/mali-drivers/user-space ->...?

Currently that is not possible yet due to missing DRM driver, but it is in the works.

~~Are people working on Mali450 drivers? I am really looking forward to using the PC2 for Retro Gaming and I understood that these drivers are needed for RetrOrangePi to work properly.~~

~~Until then I will be using the OPi PC~~

Apparently people are!

Here are the steps to get a legacy H5 kernel running with Mali r5p0:

* Linux kernel from: https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/OrangePi_H5SDK

* Here is my legacy kernel generation script: https://pastebin.com/w1b4exzW

* Mali kernel module: DX910-SW-99002-r5p0-01rel0 from here: https://developer.arm.com/products/software/mali-drivers/utgard-kernel

* Mali kernel patch: https://pastebin.com/VnJgZWZJ (name: DX910-SW-99002-r5p0-01rel0.patch)

* Blob: mali450r5p001rel0linux1fbdevarm64v8a

* Good benchmark/test utility: glmark2-es2-fb. The blob is a aarch64 one, so we must use a aarch64 linux environment to compile and run glmark2-es2-fb.

noblock: can you post an image so we can test? I am sure many will appreciate it.

This setup is now working using the mainline kernel (megous 4.14 and the following patch: https://github.com/noblock/sunxi-mali/blob/master/kernel-patches/9902-megous-add-h5-mali.patch). Using the same r5p0 blob:

Hi, it is not easy for me to understand this. Please let me know if I am thinking wrong: Blob is a piece of proprietary code released from a chip maker. In this case (witch I am interested on) Mali chip (450-400). It seems that Armbian and other TF images are released without Mali Drivers. So we have, yes, Single Board Computers, but we have not GPU drivers installed on them. Now, I am planning to install software that wants GPU driver installed. I have to search for a Blob. I have to install it on order to let SOC's GPU working. Right? Please could you tell me where I can find tutorial to do that? Thanks.

noblock · June 23, 2018

You are right the blob: 'mali450r5p001rel0linux1fbdevarm64v8a' is the proprietary library executing the GLES operations on the mali 450. The linux GNU/GPL license is not compatible at all.

Indeed, we don't have a tutorial; On the framebuffer environement you just have to add the GLES headers on your gcc include directory, and add the 'blob' as a library.

Hi, @noblock, I'am a new allwinner user, I'am testing mali opengl, when I compile your branch, an error occur, my steps as below:

cd sunxi-mali
./wget_r5p0.sh

Hi @noblock, (hang at the refract test) is it mean the mali-blobs it's bad?
