'Twas the night before Christmas... and following the OpenGL ES for PS4 release PlayStation 4 developer BigBoss shared OrbisGlPerf which is an OpenGL ES 2.0 Perf Sample for PS4 developers to utilize in homebrew applications and games.

Download: orbisGlPerf-master.zip / GIT

To quote from the Readme.md: orbisGlPerf basic GL ES 2.0 performance sample for PlayStation 4

What does this do?

This is a basic sample using GL ES 2.0 and orbisGL included with liborbis: https://github.com/orbisdev/liborbis

Original work is rasperf3d from https://www.bigmessowires.com/2014/10/06/raspberry-pi-3d-performance-demo/

It has been ported to PlayStation 4 using liborbis.

What do you need to compile it?

1. You will need ps4sdk fork branch firmware505 and liborbis from my own repository

https://github.com/psxdev/ps4***/tree/firmware505

Follow steps in readme

1. Compile sample

copy bin/homebrew.elf to ps4sh/bin folder or where you are executing ps4sh binary

1. You will need ps4sh because all is loaded from host using the last orbislinkgl.pkg look for it or make your own using code published by flatz or me

Copy content of folder assets where your homebrew.elf was copied

1. Before execute homebrew.elf you need ps4sh running on folder where your homebrew.elf was copied. Load orbislinkgl pkg and you will see logs in your ps4sh tool

After you see orbislink splash screen execute connect command on ps4sh

While most are awaiting the 35c3 Talk on Exploiting PS4 Video Apps for ALL Firmware this December 28th, there will also be a Viva la Vita Vida (Live Stream - Relive) PlayStation Vita hacking lecture by Yifanlu and Davee at the Chaos Communication Congress on December 29th, 2018.

Until then, those who still own a PS Vita may want to check out xerpi's PlayStation Vita Linux Loader Kernel Plugin for PS Vita with details below!

Download: linux_vita-master.zip / GIT / vita-linux-loader-master.zip / GIT

From the README.md to quote: PlayStation Vita Linux Loader

What's this?

This is a kernel plugin that lets you run Linux in ARMv7 non-secure System mode.

How does it work?

At first, the plugin allocates a couple of physically contiguous buffers where it loads the Linux kernel image and the Device Tree Blob.

Then it triggers a power standby request and when PSVita OS is about to send the Syscon command to actually perform the standby, it changes the request type into a soft-reset and the resume routine address to a custom one (resume.s).

Once the PSVita wakes from the soft-reset, the custom resume routine executes and identity maps the scratchpad (address 0x1F000000) using a 1MiB section. Afterwards, the Linux bootstrap code (linux_bootstrap.s) is copied to the scratchpad where it proceeds and jumps to (passing some parameters such as the Linux and DTB physical addresses).

Since the Linux bootstrap code is now in an identity-mapped location, it can proceed to disable the MMU (and the caches) and finally...
