I think it would be a much more productive use of your time to try out the in-development lima drivers, which are faster than the proprietary MALI driver anyway and probably more stable. > Aha - thanks!

In any case you should write your code in a portable way so it can work on every architecture. Don't assume 32-bit, don't assume little-endian, don't assume memory layout, don't assume unaligned memory access is OK. Debian architectures alone have a wide variety of characteristics and there are architectures Debian doesn't support yet. https://wiki.debian.org/ArchitectureSpecificsMemo -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
