Info. Lkcl said, he is not in favor of reverse engineering a mali gpu. Because it is about 150000eu and new gpus will emerge during the reverse engineering and the outcome is uncertain.<br>
<br>
I agree on his arguments. </blockquote><div>I assume you don not agree.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> 150000eu is a crowd funding of 30000 people, each 5eu. I would pay an extra 5eu to be able to buy a source code computer.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Th issue with revese engineering the MALI gpu's is not justs about money.

I do not know if 30000 people are interested or if they can agree on one board.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div>But freeing MALI would help a lot of devices out there. So I'd trough in some bucks.

You cannot get the mali source code faster, if you put more people on it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Finding the right minds and right amount of them working on the same thing is a hard equation.</div><div><br></div><div>You could add me to that team but my skills would be of limited use.
