Panfrost on the RK3399 (Meow) (rosenzweig.io)

If you were as confused as me:

* Panfrost is a FOSS graphics driver for a more recent Mali chipset. You may have one in your phone.

* RK3399 is a 64 bit ARM System on a Chip by Rockchip.

* The "meow" seems to be in reference to the 3D cat render at the start of the article.


Awesome!

Lima (mali-4xx) can already mostly render a Weston desktop: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima/mesa/issues/59#note_6321 — I wonder how close Panfrost is to that?

// Not exactly graphics related, but does anyone know if it's possible to build a custom Coreboot with the TianoCore payload (or at least U-Boot) for the RK3399 Chromebooks and get display output in EFI? It seems like there is RK3399 display stuff mentioned in the Coreboot source…
