Using Mali on Linux for Radxa Rock

all credit goes to olegk0 and linux-sunxi community.

I just tried olegk0's code and introduce about it. don't ask olegk0 about any error in this page, he is not responsible for anything written in here.

prepare

toolchain

git clone -b kitkat-release --depth 1 

this is official toolchain to build Android for Rockchip. you may use another toolchain which is known to work with your kernel source.

kernel source

git clone -b radxa-stable-3.0 https://github.com/radxa/linux-rockchip.git

this is up-to-date kernel source from Rockchip, but only drm.ko is needed. you may use your kernel source.

mali source

git clone -b r3p2-01rel2-olegk0 https://github.com/linux-rockchip/mali-modules.git

this is (currently) r3p2-01rel2 source code from ARM + minimal rk30 support code taken from .

build kernel modules

drm.ko

cd /path/to/linux-rockchip
make radxa_rock_pro_linux_hdmi_defconfig
make Image
make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-D__linux__" M=drivers/gpu/drm

drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko will be built.

mali_drm.ko

cd /path/to/mali-modules/DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/egl/x11/drm_module/mali_drm.rk30
ln -s /path/to/linux-rockchip/drivers/gpu/drm ../
make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-D__linux__" CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- KDIR=/path/to/linux-rockchip

DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/egl/x11/drm_module/mali_drm.rk30/mali_drm.ko will be built.

ump.ko

cd /path/to/mali-modules/DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/devicedrv/ump
make CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- KDIR=/path/to/linux-rockchip CONFIG=rk30-m400-4 BUILD=release

DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/devicedrv/ump/ump.ko will be built.

mali.ko

cd /path/to/mali-modules/DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/devicedrv/mali
make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DMALI_VOLTAGE_LOCK=0 -DMALI_POWER_MGMT_TEST_SUITE=0" CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- KDIR=/path/to/linux-rockchip USING_UMP=1 BUILD=release TARGET_PLATFORM=rk30 MALI_PLATFORM=rk30 MALI_SHARED_INTERRUPTS=1

DX910-SW-99002-r3p2-01rel2/driver/src/devicedrv/mali/mali.ko will be built.

build userland binaries

please follow http://linux-sunxi.org/Binary_drivers for now.

for xf86-video-fbturbo, mali-r3p2-support branch is better than 0.4.0 branch.

you may need to run

mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl.bak

and put

Option "AccelMethod" "CPU"

into "Device" section in xorg.conf.

compiled binaries

video

benchmarks

mali_600mhz.ko is used.
