Description ChangSeok Oh 2013-07-06 08:55:33 PDT 
The VideoCore IV is a Broadcom GPU providing OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG 1.1, Open EGL, OpenMAX and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode. It is contained in the Raspberry Pi, small embedded device. For More detailed information, http://elinux.org/RPi_VideoCore_APIs
Though WebKitGTK+ already supports ELG and OpenGLES for hardware acceleration but the device requires more touches for some reasons.

Any news about this work?

Bug 117997 seems also related.

This GPU has been supported for a few years already, in WPEWebKit at least. Closing.

For the record: it *should* work also for the GTK port, using Mesa's
“vc4” driver, at leas on Wayland — note that I have not tried it
myself so I cannot tell “sure, it works” :)
