well, I think his "port" was more about getting E into ltib, the canonical imx31 build platform. It's something like openembedded, but instead of .bb they use handicapped .rpm, with no dependency in the .rpm, since they moved dependency tracking to kconfig (linux kernel config/menuconfig, like busybox did) ProFUSION just got one imx31 board from freescale brazil, we did some packages but they're not finished yet. > as vincent mentioned... openglES is an interesting idea - to date i have not > had any time to really look at it. i know leonardo started playing with it... > but didn't have any success. one day i'll get to it! :) but as such most of > the > work is done in the gl engine - it just needs some changes to adapt to GLES. Since we got one of these boards, we may try to give gles a try. But really, before even trying I might talk to you to check for things to look, like analyzing texture size and upload bandwidth, otherwise the port will be useless... BTW, on my macbook with intel 965 mobile expedite reports about 2x gains on the software engine compared to gl, and this is using newer mesa/x, so I get the shaders and all fancy stuff on these boards....
