Hello,

Are there any news when it comes to the kernel driver for the BXE4-32 GPU?

I checked both upstream and in the linked repository for upstreamable kernel modules and couldn’t find any reference to it in the driver.

Please add your voices to the issue asking for the drivers.

I think starfive should sponsor them to do the work, if it ever wants the GPU to be anything useful.

Why you need the GPU Driver Libre? when the Blob firmware is mandatory in Gnu Userland.
Just not make sense…and for me does not matter anything. F#ck Open source Ideology.
