Graphics on Replicant 9

This page documents the current progress and future plans for the graphics acceleration on Replicant 9. The original plan can be found at TasksFunding. Since then, through more in depth research and hands-on experience, several things have diverged.

Background information, as well as details on the software components and acronyms used on this document, can be found at GraphicsResearch.

done original plan Set up the development environment. Required: i9305 phones, LXC Trisquel container (systemd nspawn fails due to old systemd on Trisquel 8), larger SSDs, 1.8V serial-USB adapters (BS101P FT232RL) plus makeshift resistors' banks. 24 24
