Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to clarify the current setup for
accessing the download portal:
Website Language: At present, the Metax Software Download Center is only
available in Chinese, and we do not have an English version at the moment. For
non-Chinese speakers, we highly recommend using your browser's built-in
translation feature, which works perfectly for navigating the site and
downloading the files.
Download Access: Currently, there are no direct, open download links.
Registration and login are required to access and download the library files.
This is our standard process for distributing the SDK and kernel modules.
I understand this might be an extra step, but please rest assured that the
registration process is straightforward. If you encounter any issues during the
registration or translation process, please let me know and I will be happy to
assist you.
Best regards,
lingyxu

主 题：Re: 回复：[PATCH] gpu/metax: add new driver for Metax GPU
Would it be possible to have a direct download link
not requiring any registration? At least for the library?
Do you have an english version of the website?
