Hi, apart from the wayland website (I assume you already read all of it), I have a writing that might help in understanding the existing works: http://ppaalanen.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-does-egl-do-in-wayland-stack.html In what level do you plan to port? Can you modify your EGL library? Are you using proprietary or open driver stack? (I don't know anything about Mali drivers.) If you want to port Weston, the easiest thing is probably to write a new backend that will use whatever accelerated framebuffer graphics API you have. Or if your platform supports DRM and KMS, the drm backend might work with some changes. Once you have Weston running, you should have unaccelerated (shm buffer passing) Wayland clients running, too. Supporting accelerated Wayland clients practically requires implementing Wayland support in the EGL library. The other option is to implement it ad hoc, but then you need to fix every single application, too. Decent performance requires the ability to pass hardware graphics buffers (handles) from one process to another.
