For accelerated graphics on MX51 (Z430 and Z160), the kernel module driver has been open sourced recently, but for user space libraries, they are still proprietary, and NDA is needed to access source code as well as related documents.

I've had access to this code under NDA at Xandros.  It was not supplied
with documentation for the graphics core.  I suspect this is because the
core is Qualcomm's and supplied to FreeScale under NDA.  The only two
SoC's I am aware of that use that core are SnapDragon and iMX51.
