Apr 05 19:13:53 <DocScrutinizer05> hmm, it's difficult to understand WHAT is "the hardware" and "the projct", apart form a few buzzwords in this text like mesa, gallium3D etc
Apr 05 23:35:35 <pabs3> DocScrutinizer05: newer Mali GPUs, the project is to reverse engineer them and develop libre drivers for them
Apr 05 23:35:49 <pabs3> there are some earlier blog posts on the same topic too
Apr 05 23:55:31 <DocScrutinizer05> hmm wasn't that etnaviv aka reverse("vivante")?
Apr 05 23:55:48 <DocScrutinizer05> aah wait, no
Apr 05 23:57:18 <DocScrutinizer05> so it's for mali what etnaviv is for vivante GPUs?
Apr 06 00:26:57 <pabs3> right
Apr 06 00:27:21 <pabs3> well, for a certain  generation of mali gpus yes
Apr 06 00:27:48 <pabs3> this separate effort is for an earlier generation of mali: https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima
