So I'm unfamiliar with this so let me ask a few dumb questions but first of all great job! My questions are - If you didn't do this work how would you use this soc? When I search, it is stated that it supports OpenGL and Vulkan but was that just ' in theory? ' How can a SOC developer make a product without driver support? Don't they risk messing up and having hardware that doesn't work properly?

Nice! Looking forward to finally getting proper support for my Lichee Pi 4A!

Hooray! Personally, I'm hoping this'll lead to support for the GPU on Spacemit SoCs.

Fantastic, good work. I'm looking forward to mainstream RISC-V.

what's the point of supporting HDMI?

just let this worse standard die already - and switch to DisplayPort
