[meta-freescale] [Sumo] Freescale iMX6 vivante support with EGLFS Qt5

[Joe Rutledge]

Hi Otavio,

Sorry, I'm still not clear! In order to get h/w graphics acceleration on 
the iMX6 I have to use the Vivante driver (correct?), which means I have 
to use either linux-imx or linux-fslc-imx. You have had success with 
other customers with Qt based on the linux-fslc-imx kernel? This is what 
I should use in order to get Qt with h/w GPU acceleration (the vivante 
driver)?

Thanks,

Joe
