Gotta Love the guys at ARM.

ARM® has extended the scope of the ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5™) Community Edition (CE) to provide a fully featured, industry standard, and free-to-use software development environment for ARM Embedded Linux applications.

For now, I just like them. I’m saving my love until there is an graphics chip for ARM devices that doesn’t require proprietary software.

Agreed, Go Open or Go Home

@Jezra Funny enough, but it seems NVIDIA is making that happen with Kepler GPUs in Tegra5 and licensed out to other SoC makers.
The other reverse-engineering projects are making good progress as well, but Nouveau is the only upstream driver in the kernel so far.

@Arnd_Bergmann Really? NVIDIA is the last company I would expect to see an open driver from.

NVIDIA didn’t write the nouveau driver, it was reverse-engineered. They just bring the hardware that already has a working open source driver on x86 to ARM chips now.

Then let me restate my original position: I’m saving my love until there is an graphics chip for ARM devices that doesn’t require proprietary software or a reverse engineered driver.
