Rosenzweig: Bifrost meets GNOME: Onward & upward to zero graphics blobs

([Development] Jun 5, 2020 17:19 UTC (Fri) (corbet))


Alyssa Rosenzweig [1]provides an update on the Panfrost driver for Mali GPUs on the Collabora blog. " In the past 3 months since we began work on Bifrost, fellow Collaboran Tomeu Vizoso and I have progressed from stubbing out the new compiler and command stream in March to running real programs by May. Driven by a reverse-engineering effort in tandem with the free software community, we are confident that against proprietary blobs and downstream hacks, open-source software will prevail. "
