Hi Alimon,

Congratulation for this release !

I am using a RB3 Kit and i am very excited to try OpenCL on Linux.
Maybe i am missing something cause haven’t found libOpenCL.so in the images.
Is it part of the 19.09 deliverables ?

Thank you and keep up the good work !

Hi Iugu,

There was a typo in the release announcement (OpenCL → OpenGL) so currently we don’t support OpenCL in the Dragonboard845c, sorry for the confusion.

When will you support OpenCL in the Dragonboard845c?

at the moment, it is not planned. we would need to check what the status of OpenCL is on the freedreno driver/community. if you have time to investigate, i would be happy to get some information…
