Panfrost
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The Panfrost driver stack includes an OpenGL ES implementation for Arm Mali
|
|
GPUs based on the Midgard and Bifrost microarchitectures. It is **conformant**
|
|
on `Mali-G52 <https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/opengles#submission_949>`_,
|
|
`Mali-G57 <https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/opengles#submission_980>`_
|
|
and `Mali-G610 <https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/opengles#submission_1053>`_,
|
|
but **non-conformant** on other GPUs.
|
|
|
|
PanVK, the Vulkan implementation in the Panfrost driver stack, is currently
|
|
**conformant** on `Mali-G610 <https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products#submission_906>`__,
|
|
but *non-conformant* on other GPUs.
|
|
|
|
The following hardware is currently supported:

|
|
|
|
Other Midgard and Bifrost chips (e.g. G71) are not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
Older Mali chips based on the Utgard architecture (Mali-400, Mali-450) are
|
|
supported in the :doc:`Lima <lima>` driver, not Panfrost. Lima is also
|
|
available in Mesa.
|
|
|
|
Other graphics APIs (OpenCL) are not supported at this time.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Panfrost's OpenGL support is a Gallium driver. Since Mali GPUs are 3D-only and
|
|
do not include a display controller, Mesa uses kmsro to support display
|
|
controllers paired with Mali GPUs. If your board with a Panfrost supported GPU
|
|
has a display controller with mainline Linux support not supported by kmsro,
|
|
it's easy to add support, see the commit ``cff7de4bb597e9`` as an example.
|
|
|
|
LLVM is *not* required by Panfrost's compilers. LLVM support in Mesa can
|
|
safely be disabled for most OpenGL ES users with Panfrost.
|
|
|
|
Build like ``meson . build/ -Dvulkan-drivers=panfrost
|
|
-Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dllvm=disabled`` for a build directory
|
|
``build``.
|
|
|
|

|
|
<../install>`.

Chat

----
|
|
|
|
Panfrost developers and users hang out on IRC at ``#panfrost`` on OFTC. Note
|

that registering and authenticating with ``NickServ`` is required to prevent
