Building panfrost natively on armv8 (rockpi4b / RK3399) on Debian "buster"
  • sudo apt install python3-pip
  • Install python3 packages:
pip3 install  setuptools mako
  • Install many, many packages not included with armbian "buster":
sudo apt-get install meson ninja-build
sudo apt-get install pkg-config zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev libdrm-dev libunwind-dev 
sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev wayland-protocols libwayland-egl-backend-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxdamage-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-dri2-dev libxcb-dri2-0-dev libxcb-dri3-0-dev
  • Grab mesa sources
$ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa -b master

Configure, build, and install mesa

cd mesa
mkdir build
meson build/ -Dgallium-drivers=lima,panfrost,kmsro,swrast -Dplatforms=x11,drm,surfaceless -Dvulkan-drivers= -Ddri-drivers= -Dllvm=false

ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
  • Test it out:
sudo apt install mesa-utils
glxinfo |grep render

(Use a framebuffer if necessary: sudo apt install xvfb

Then you can run eg:

Xvfb :1 -screen 1 1600x1200x16&
export DISPLAY=:1

Thanks @tstellanova .. this line git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa -b main not master ... secondly instead of cloning whole thing can I use a portion of git for instance for G52
