3.10.9-1.0.0 graphics is still p12 based which works with 3.0.35-4.1.0. 3.10.9 beta which is not release yet will not without kernel changes.
simple-shm, simple-egl or any of the weston-examples.
We'll be updating the fsl-gpu-sdk in beta to support wayland-weston.

Is it ill-advised to use the gpu-viv-bin-mx6q binaries with the 3.0.35-4.1.0 release? It passed a smoke test with wayland, but I haven't dug in further with X, dfb, fb.
Perhaps we'll only pull in the -wl.so libraries for 4.1.0 for now until 3.10 is non-alpha.
Also, when I tried the vivante samples in a 3.10 master-next build, they seemed to take over the framebuffer. The weston 'simple-egl' client runs in a window without an issue. Can you recommend any other tests from viv_samples, or is this pretty much expected functionality? Just trying to make sure things are working properly in our environment.
Thanks for the clarification.
