As we approach 2020, the Raspberry Pi 4 continues to see better mainline kernel/software support.
The upcoming Linux 5.5 kernel supports Broadcom BCM2711 SoC and Raspberry Pi 4 DeviceTree. Linux 5.5 is expected to be released in late January or early February, marking the beginning of support for this mainboard and SoC, although it is anticipated that revisions will continue in future cycles.
In terms of graphics, the major Broadcom “V3D” driver stack continues to improve on its Mesa Gallium3D driver and nearly supports OpenGL ES 3.1.
The latest reported Raspberry Pi 4 Model B has better mainline support, which is Linux firmware. Git has added NVRAM files for the BCM43455 of Raspberry Pi 4 based on its WiFi/Bluetooth module requirements. This is the first addition to the linux-firmware.git for Raspberry Pi 4 this week.
The ongoing mainline work, coupled with recent thermal/power improvements, puts this budget-friendly ARM SBC in a better position before the 2020 Linux release. By the time Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is released, we expect to see better support.
