Why didn't you target drm/kms gl approach? I realise not all platforms support this, but it would greatly extend the number of supported (embedded) platforms in a generic way. A quick google search seems to indicate that the sgx530 (BBB) has a kms driver as does the vivante (imx6). An RPi drm/kms

Yes Fabrizio, I agree with you. First it was iOS, then Android and now ARM. Oracle the company seem to view JavafX or their support for it as just a fancy Swing replacement to run exclusively on desktop operating systems like Windows, MacOS and Linux. But can we even trust that they will
