Wayland (the protocol and architecture) is still lacking proper consideration for color management & support for high dynamic range (HDR) imagery, which has been around in movie and broadcasting industry for a while now (e.g. Netflix HDR UI). However, a group of renegade devs has begun an effort to fix this situation. This is their story.

If you have a device with a Mali T720 or T820 GPU, you’re in luck – your device is now supported in upstream Mesa at feature parity with other GPUs. Get out your Allwinner H6 or Amlogic S912 board, grab the latest Mesa, and enjoy a match of SuperTuxKart with fully free and open source mainline drivers!

Following last month's news on the SPURV experimental project that showed it was now possible to run Android applications in the same graphical environment as regular Wayland Linux applications with full 3D acceleration, here's a follow up detailing how you can run Android and Wayland on embedded devices, in this case the very common i.MX6 based Nitrogen6_MAX board by Boundary Devices.

New experimental containerized Android environment allows Android apps to run in floating windows alongside native applications on desktop Linux. "You can read all the technical details at the source link, but put simply, 'SPURV' creates a virtual Android device on your Linux computer, much like Bluestacks and other similar tools. There are various components of SPURV that allow the Android environment to play audio, connect to networks, and display hardware-accelerated graphics through the underlying Linux system."
