I think PowerVR has a repo [1], but the last time I checked it, the BVNC for the firmware didn't match what was necessary for the GX6250 on the RZ/G2M. I can't remember what the corresponding R-Car3 model is. I haven't tried recently because I was told more documentation for firmware porting would be delayed until everything was pushed into the kernel and Mesa. Maybe there is a better repo and/or newer firmware somewhere else. adam [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/frankbinns/linux-firmware/-/tree/powervr/powervr?ref_type=heads > > Thanks again! > > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ > > Gr{oetje,eeting}s, > > Geert > > -- > Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
