Lina: Tales of the M1 GPU
[Posted November 29, 2022 by corbet]
Asahi Lina gives a detailed update on progress toward a graphics driver for Apple M1 hardware.
There is still a long road ahead! The UAPI that we are using right now is still a prototype, and there are a lot of new features that need to be added or redesigned in order to support a full Vulkan driver in the future. Since Linux mandates that the UAPI needs to remain stable and backwards compatible across versions (unlike macOS), that means that the kernel driver will not be heading upstream for many months, until we have a more complete understanding of the GPU rendering parameters and have implemented all the new design features needed by Vulkan.
