gpu_z430

Out of curiosity, I ran strings on the binary drivers for the Efika MX’s gpu.

gsl.ko:

license=Proprietary
description=GSL driver
author=Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
depends=

gpu_z430.ko:

license=Dual BSD/GPL
description=Device driver for AMD 3D graphics core
author=Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
depends=gsl

Anyone happen to know where to find the GPL source for that gpu_z430 module?

    I dug around a bit but couldn’t find it. I did learn a few things, that maybe you already know though …
    – It seems that the Freescale i.MX51 devkit uses the same GPU (and driver) according to their “Ubuntu Startup Guide for the i.MX51 EVK board” but they only have binary releases in the “SDK_soucre” tarball.
    – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHA7cVFrTrA the desktop shows a 5.1.0 that doesn’t seem to depend on the gsl.ko (based on lsmod in the video)
    – “ATI Imageon Z430″ seems to be the product name, and leads to more search results :)

    Good luck … I enjoy following this stuff anyway.

    It’s dual BSD/GPL licensed so it can be BSD if we choose: and we chose.

    Since then Freescale published the source though (and Qualcomm also publish their source for their version, which is 95% identical) and it’s in all the latest i.MX51 BSPs from 10.07.11 onwards.

  1. No trackbacks yet.
