I have a package that installs/compiles in its postinst script and tries to 
figure out on which system it is being installed:

https://download.goldelico.com/quantumstep/debian/dists/buster/main/binary-all/letux-pvrsgx-1.17_0.20200413112912_all.deb

It also takes the zeus branch which is the latest release by TI.

But since I am not a weston/driver/user-space-graphics expert I am not sure if 
I run kmscube with this package installed, it is really using the SGX or if it 
is doing an emulation by CPU.

So if you know how to set up a working system (dependencies? other config 
files?) patches are welcome.

Ideally we (the openpvrsgx-degroup) can provide such universal (i.e. not board 
specific) Debian packages if we get contributions. And it increases chances by 
some ยต% to get the kernel driver upstream.
