I tried on a GTA04A3 with DM3730 (ES5) and Linux 2.6.32 according to the description linked above: mkdir -p /rtmp # on rootfs (SD card) cd /rtmp wget http://sources.buildroot.net/devmem2.c gcc devmem2.c -o /usr/bin/devmem2 wget -c http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/GFX_4_00_00_01_libs .tar.gz wget -c http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/GFX_Linux_SDK.tar.g z tar -zxvf GFX_4_00_00_01_libs.tar.gz chmod +x ./install-SGX.sh ./install-SGX.sh rm /devmem2_0.0-0ubuntu1_armel.deb cd /usr/lib ln -sf ES5.0/* . cd /rtmp tar -zxvf OGLES.tar.gz tar -zxvf GFX_Linux_SDK.tar.gz cd GFX_Linux_SDK tar -zxvf OGLES.tar.gz cd OGLES/SDKPackage/Binaries/CommonX11/Demos/EvilSkull depmod -a omaplfb rm -f /etc/powervr-esrev /etc/init.d/pvr restart ./OGLESEvilSkull It reports gta04:# /etc/init.d/pvr restart Stopping PVR Starting PVR FATAL: Module omaplfb not found. FATAL: Module bufferclass_ti not found. mknod: missing operand after `0' Try `mknod --help' for more information. chmod: cannot access `/dev/pvrsrvkm': No such file or directory Which means we need two more modules: omaplfb bufferclass_ti

For some problems we should also refer to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Graphics_SDK_Quick_installati on_and_user_guide

Finally here is a HOW-TO that compiles (but has not yet been tested!): 1. download "OMAP35x_Android_Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_3_01_00_03.bin" from http://gitorious.org/rowboat/ti_android_sgx_sdk/trees/master 2. use an i86 Linux PC to run and unpack 3. mkdir -p drivers/gpu/pvr 4. copy include4 and services4 from the SDK/GFX_Linux_KM to drivers/gpu/pvr 5. add "source drivers/gpu/pvr/Kconfig" to drivers/video/Kconfig (see code link below) 5. append "obj-y += pvr/" to drivers/gpu/Makefile 6. add drivers/gpu/pvr/Makefile and drivers/gpu/pvr/Kconfig 7. menuconfig Device Drivers / Graphics support / PowerVR SGX (as '*' because 'M' does not compile for untracked reasons) 8. compile The full tree that compiles can be found at: http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=tree;f=drivers/gpu/pvr

The latest 3_01_00_10.bin can be downloaded from here: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dv sdk/DVSDK_3_00/latest/index_FDS.html

Comment 5 by Nikolaus Schaller, Sep 6, 2012
This was again the wrong link. The http://gitorious.org/rowboat/ti_android_sgx_sdk/trees/master is an Android kernel compatible variant that compiles, loads but does not work. The correct location for download (Graphics SDK link): http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dv sdk/DVSDK_3_00/latest/index_FDS.html

Comment 6 by Nikolaus Schaller, Sep 6, 2012
Another "feature" we should add to the code (if possible) is to dynamically move the OMAP3430 vs. 3630 distinction to runtime. Currently we have to compile either services4/system/omap3430/sysconfig.o \ services4/system/omap3430/sysutils.o or services4/system/omap3630/sysconfig.o \ services4/system/omap3630/sysutils.o and get two different kernels or module sets for OMAP3530 vs. DM3730. Well, the GTA04 uses almost everywhere the DM3730 but there are 2 or 3 boards with OMAP3530. By making a diff on this code it should be possible to make a generic one by using the runtime-CPU detection function cpu_is_omap3630() to define common sysconfig/sysutils. Note: this will NOT eliminate the need to install different user space libs which take care of other differences in the SGX530 V2 vs. V3. But it makes life a little easier if there were only one kernel for all of them.

The driver finally works! See: http://listas.gnu.org.ve/pipermail/powervr-devel/2012-September/00003 6.html http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=tree;f=drivers/gpu/pvr
