> I see Mali 400 GPU. Is this GPU now fully open source? If you are talking about drivers (rather than the GPU itself), there are reverse engineered drivers: https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima/ https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima For the newer Mali GPUs there is the Panfrost driver: https://notabug.org/cafe/chai https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/panfrost https://rosenzweig.io/blog/
In Learning operating system development using Linux kernel and Raspberry Pi
You can run Gnome just fine, hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding works, HDMI with a few features is mainline, the only thing left is the Mali GPU, which is a fairly simple GPU as far as that kind of hardware goes, as compared to AMD or Nvidia GPUs. On that note, there has been a fair bit of activity on Lima as of late, which is a big change from a few years ago: https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima/tree/lima-4.16-rc5/drivers...
In The ASUS Tinker Board is a compelling upgrade from a Raspberry Pi 3 B+
