Hi, Philippe Just a quick note regarding this:

Our YaGL/VIGS solution works for arm as well as for x86, so technically it's possible to run ARM images with GPU support, one just needs to enable YaGL/VIGS on arm board. For that to work arm board needs to support PCI, if PCI is supported then YaGL/VIGS devices will be detected automatically and can be used. Thanks.
