No experience with that, but I hear RedHat and ARM are pushing it, especially for ARMv8. > DONE: odroid-hc1 is a compute node computer - network, sata, cpu, ram, > serial console for debugging.

You could use the GPU for compute with OpenCL/Vulkan/etc. Unfortunately, since it is Mali, the reverse engineering projects were abandoned a while back but revived recently: http://limadriver.org/ https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima > TODO: I wasn't sure thus even send an email to debian-kernel: is > linux-firmware repo only for firmware uses by the driver, or do they accept > firmware for u-boot too?

I think it is only for firmware loaded by Linux drivers, not sure. I don't know if there is an equivalent u-boot blobs repo. In Debian, linux-firmware is split into multiple packages. fwupd is only for upgrading firmware resident in internal flash in devices.

What does it do, who uses this code? d-i uses it to know which files to write to where to get a device to boot Debian. > DONE: it contains a odroid-xu4 entry, that would work on the hc1 too.

The Debian installer team do, please ask about it on debian-boot or look at their wiki/other documentation. > Does that place allow non-free binaries in the image, or do we need to go to > the cdimage.debian.org infrastructure instead? that one has non-free images: > https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/ Those are larger images that include a package pool, the ones I linked to do not. Also the ones on cdimage are x86 only. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
