Is there a way to get Mali T720 working in Linux?
My goal is to use OpenCL and ARM Compute Library.  I don't think Mali 450 hardware can support OpenCL even with its better driver support.

current setup
Orange Pi Lite2
Allwinner H6 Mali T720 driver
Ubuntu + Xfce (Orange Pi version)

same here, the opi3 is a very good android mediaplayer you are getting the same specs of a ziddo h6 pro , i even stole their firmware to fix google play , but under linux is only good if you plan to make it a server unless the Panfrost effort makes a working driver , i doubt it but who knows i would be very happy to be wrong

Mali-400 and 450 do not support OpenCL. And the driver is not installed in the Ubuntu images provided by OrangePi. If we want to install drivers we must do it by ourself. Mali-T720 of the H6 cpu supports OpenCL instead. But, and here is my problem, if you do not install the kernel drivers extensions you will not play OpenCL. At this moment I am searching the way to install them, because the kernel must be recompiled, it is hard to find the right way. The company should provide the kernel with these drivers!!!!

There are some scripts provided to create a cross compiling environment for the kernel: https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePi_Build

i've tried to compile the kernel, but there are many bugs in the script, no sucess

I have a guide to install the BSP kernel but its version 3.10.65. Mali t720 is selected in graphics driver options but I do not think it does anything.
