Hi Andy,

  NXP does not use Zeus yet, so I think you are using a mainline kernel (from kernel.org)?

It is encouraging that you got the Vivante 6.2.4 package running on the i.MX6 with fb.

Did you do anything special to get this to work, or could it be that it works just because you have moved to the mainline kernel?

Can you please share your defconfig file?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards, Clay

I did some more testing and found the situation is actually worse than I thought. Even the X11 and Wayland support is completely non-functional, in addition to fb, on the i.MX6. The linux kernel version makes no difference. I have tried 4.8 to 4.14. It's obvious that NXP is not even testing on the i.MX6 anymore, despite what their documentation and release notes claim.  This means the Vivante 6.2.4 package is COMPLETELY USELESS on the i.MX6. If there is anyone who has actually gotten this to work in any mode, please reply.
I’m not using Sumo for my current i.MX6 project having moved onto Zeus.

My image currently builds with kernel 4.14.98 and is using the Vivante 6.2.4 package to give OpenGL acceleration (to a commercial application) which is accessed using /dev/fb0 and the Frambuffer interface described in the i.MX6 Graphics User Guide.

The only thing that I don’t currently have running is the kernel splash screen.

-Andy.
