As their EULA says, we are not allowed to use these binaries:

"Hardkernel hereby grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, irrevocable, restricted right to use the Software in
object code form only on the Computer System solely for the purpose of
developing application software for Hardkernel devices using the
Samsung Exynos 4412 System-on-a-Chip."

Why don't you ask dan-and about how this mali driver is supposed to be
used?

You can try the old experimental r3p2 branch, it might or might not work
with r4p0 mali blob:

I'm not really interested. Please understand me right, I just don't
have time to waste on doing something that has very little or no
practical value.
