Jump to: , Mali-400 MP (Mali400 for short) is a GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) from ARM Ltd.(ARM Holdings plc), designed for embedded systems.[1][2]es2gears running on Mali-400 XBMC running on Mali-400 The Mali series of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are semiconductor intellectual property cores produced by ARM Holdings for licensing in various ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit) designs by ARM partners.The core is mainly developed by ARM Norway, at the former Falanx company site.Like other embedded IP cores for 3D support, the Mali GPU does not feature display controllers driving monitors (such as the combination often found in common video cards).Instead it is a pure 3D engine that renders graphics into memory and hands the rendered image over to another core that handles the display.ARM supplies tools to help in authoring OpenGL ES shaders named Mali GPU Shader Development Studio and Mali GPU User Interface Engine.All Mali400 GPU Variants conform to OpenGL ES 1.1 & 2.0 as well as OpenVG 1.1.

The Mali core grew out of the cores previously produced by Falanx and currently constitute: More information can be found on the ARM website.For information on the binary driver, please refer to the binary driver installation guide.Lima is a project to develop a completely open source graphics driver which supports ARM's Mali-200 and Mali-400 GPUs.bitcoin sentry mbaThis is a work in progress and not yet ready for general use.bitcoin menurut islamThe aim of this driver and others such as freedreno is to finally bring all the advantages of open source software to ARM SoC graphics drivers.bitcoin louhijaCurrently, the sole availability of binary drivers is increasing development and maintenance overhead, while also reducing portability, compatibility and limiting choice.

Anyone who has dealt with GPU support on ARM, be it for a linux with a GNU stack, or for an android, knows the pain of dealing with these binaries./2013/01/19/gpus-comparison-arm-mali-vs-vivante-gcxxx-vs-powervr-sgx-vs-nvidia-geforce-ulp/ GPUs Comparison: ARM Mali vs Vivante GCxxx vs PowerVR SGX vs Nvidia Geforce ULP /all-mobile-socsolutions/ All Mobile Soc/Solutions.Terry Hughes has just got himself a Google Chromecast dongle.In Google’s own words “With Chromecast, you can easily enjoy your favorite online entertainment on your HDTV—movies, TV shows, music, and more from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Movies and Music, and Chrome.” Must have been Google’s spiel because I wouldn’t spell favourite like that.Anyway I spotted on Facebook that Terry had gotten (just pulling your leg) a Chromecast and he agreed to do a review for the blog.Not being much of a TV buff myself it’s the only way it was gonna happen (there I go again) in the near term.Here is what Terry has to say on the device: I’ve used various media steaming devices for several years, Apple TV, Android MK802, etc, all with various results.

, as one of a limited number of purchasers who got it for £34 including shipping and handling.This a quick review, considering I have only owned it for 5 days.This device is a $35 streaming dongle that plugs into your TV’s HDMI port.You can use it to stream online videos from YouTube, Netflix, and Chrome browser, and use your tablet, mobile phone, or computer, as a remote control.(PC or MAC) If you use your phone to start it off (Samsung Galaxy S4 in my case) it doesn’t stream videos directly to your Chromecast dongle.Instead, it just tells the device which video it should stream from the cloud.That means that you can use your phone for something else, once the stream starts.I even rebooted my phone whilst streaming to test this.It really is as simple as plugging in the device into a spare HDMI socket, and connecting power via the supplied adaptor, or from a TV USB port if you have one.Now Google doesn’t currently allow Chromecast in the UK Play store (October 2013), so I had to get it via other means to setup the initial way in which the Chromecast device know about your router details.

I expect this to change quickly during the next Google Event at the end of the month.Once plugged in, enter the password of your local Wi-Fi network, and you’re all set to run.The device has Wi-Fi built in and doesn’t need Wi-Fi on your TV.My main use for Chromecast right now is YouTube, and I have now streamed my fair share of videos from that site in the last few days.Overall, streaming worked really well, simply by clicking an icon that appears in the YouTube menu, and choosing where to stream too.Well, you could actually have multiple Chromecast devices in each room.I don’t as yet 😉 I have now successfully got this to work from the above phone, Nexus 7 Tablet, and Asus notebook, all with wireless connection to the same router.In total (so far) I have managed to get working: Google Play for movies and music Chrome browser (with extension) for desktop and video playback (mp4, m4v, avi and mpeg) BBC Iplayer via Chrome browser I love it!After using Miracast, long HDMI cables, small PC under the TV and more, it’s now my main device for streaming YouTube, Netflix and more in High definition, with good sound and obvious lip-sync for movies.

Streams Android to a big TV Works with MAC, PC’s, Tablets Easy to setup and transport Early days, so limited apps (Pandora, Hulu Plus, and HBO Go are all expected to be next ) Mirroring limited to browser tab Chrome is the only supported browser Can’t store files directly on the device.Thanks Terry – I owe you a beer Footnote – this post is getting quite a bit of interest.Google Chromecast seems to be available to buy in the UK at Amazon.If this review was useful you should also check out these other Chromecast reviews on this blog here and here.Update 17th March 2014 – Google Chromecast to become available in the UK – leading to lots of visitors to reviews on this site.Sadly, the Hangout video of this episode did not record for some reason.But Fab did a Minecraft test stream that you can check out instead.Mark Zuckerberg, Head of the Fishpeople Supporters: Philip Behnke (sent some money for the Diablo III fund) — from Flattr: joe-1, Chris Woollard, johanv, cyberkiller, Dave Lee, Mattias Ohlsson, corenominal and Rasmus Svensson Song: Skyrim Epic Rap by Dan Bull (all rights reserved)
