Accelerated graphics on Snappy+BBB

Here is the kernel source code that we use:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-vivid.git/

but the SDK that you linked requires a proprietary TI kernel:

Pre-requisites
Kernel(Linux PSP) versions supported or used for validation
AM335x & AM43x -
Tree: git://git.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git
Branch: ti-linux-3.14.y

so you are better off compiling your own kernel using the ti-linux tree.
