I'm looking to package the Mali = GPU code from linux and would be happier if I don't have to blaze the = whole trail.. Oleksandr's already done the hard part of porting them to FreeBSD: http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=3D185 https://github.com/gonzoua/vchiq-freebsd https://github.com/gonzoua/userland I've been building them as part of the Crochet image for RaspberryPi but I suspect it would make more sense to have them as straight FreeBSD ports so they can be built and distributed as packages.
