Would ou also consider (or maybe this is another project ?) having a GPL kernel driver for SGX ? Something that'd use KMS/DRM and ease the Mesa/Gallium3D/OpenGL user-space libs that you expect to have. > the payoff is huge. the list of CPUs with PowerVR includes Texas > Instruments top-of-the-range OMAP, AM Sitara and DaVinci CPUs, all of > Freescale's top-of-the-range iMX series, all of Samsung's > top-of-the-range ARM Cortex A8 and A9 CPUs, Marvell's top-of-the-range > armv7-compatible 1.2 to 2ghz CPUs, NXP's new Cortex A9 and (the > odd-one-out) Intel's "Poulsbo" GMA500 GPU. the list just goes on and > those are just the ones that are in the current 45nm geometry. You can also add Intel CE4xxx SoC to this list.
