Rosenzweig: From Panfrost to production, a tale of Open Source graphics

([Development] Nov 3, 2020 21:46 UTC (Tue) (ris))


Alyssa Rosenzweig [1]reports on the progress of the Panfrost driver. " Since our [2]previous update on Panfrost , the open source stack for Arm's Mali Midgard and Bifrost GPUs, we've focused on taking our driver from its reverse-engineered origins on Midgard to a mature stack. We've overhauled both the Gallium driver and the backend compiler, and as a result, Mesa 20.3 -- scheduled for release at the end-of-the-month -- will feature some Bifrost support out-of-the-box .
