Reviving an old i.MX6 based tablet with Etnaviv

[Chris Healy]

Hi Bero,

I've got no pointers ATM but I too have one of these tablets and had
the same thought about running etnaviv on it.  I haven't yet dug in to
figure out what touchscreen it has as this would be an important thing
to get working.

I attempted to access the DTS you gave a URL to but I was not
successful in accessing it.  Could you make sure that this URL is
working for other people you are near?

Regards,

Chris

I'm assuming Etnaviv doesn't see the GPU because the devicetree file is configured for the binary driver, but I'm not an expert on devicetree.
