I found only OpenCL driver for Kitkat on dev website. Is there any driver for Lollipop? Or when will it be available?

I tried Kitkat driver on lollipop and it does not work. I had to downgrade to Kitkat to make it work.

Lollipop introduced architectural changes that are incompatable with the way these driver releases worked with Kitkat. Currently, our driver team is investigating how or even if we can continue them with Lollipop. At this point, I'm uncertain when/if we would have an update available.

Thank you very much. I downgrade to Kitkat and everything works fine. Hope I can get driver for Lollipop someday.

I saw that AT&T LG G3 runs Lollipop 5.0.1 have OpenCL Driver that has OpenCL 1.2 support. AT&T LG G3 is Using same chip as Nexus 5. Is it possible to make the driver for LG G3 works on Nexus 5?

We'll be including OpenCL support when we start the community driver releases again...rough target is a few months from now.(~6//2015).
