  He needs it to test the hardware bringup and set-up of the Mali GPU

  with the mainline Lima kernel driver. 

  According to him, people have been reporting some difficulty on the

  Galaxy SIII, while things seem to be working ok with ODROID U3.

  Also, at least one core Lima developer has access to one ODROID U3,

  and used it to add support for the Exynos4412 SoC.

  If he or GrimKriegor who works with him stumble upon many unknowns in

  the Galaxy SIII they can use the ODROID for some testing.

  We have now someone IRC who is working to understand if

  it's possible to run a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy SIII.

  Since she knows a lot of people that could help as well, including

  people that know how to find bootrom exploits, we have increased a

  lot the probability of having a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy

  SIII and other devices with the Exynos 4412.

  There is also an u-boot port for the Galaxy SIII and similar

  devices by Simon Shields, which currently depends on a nonfree and

  non-redistributable first stage. When he sent that code upstream,

  it broke booting on the Odroid U3[1], so the code was not merged.

  This would allow GNUtoo or other Replicant contributors[2] get the support

  for the Galaxy SIII and similar devices merged upstream.

  [2]GNUtoo could also bring it at the FOSDEM and pass it on to someone who

   would be interested in doing that work.
