Raspberry Pi 4 V3D Driver Reaches OpenGL ES 3.1 Conformance

[kozman]

I gave up on Microcenter for Pi because the Pi section was usually a disaster. Like a tornado had come through and threw everything in the air and then let it land.

Yeah that's pretty much accurate. Microcenter is my go-to of last resort when I need a part now and don't want to wait for Newegg to ship.

It will be nice to have working ubuntu 19.10 desktop on RPI4
but it is still buggy. Lots of artefacts

for example panfrost/lima is in much better shape
I have ubuntu 19.10 desktop on RK3399 and it is really nice experience.

That's strange. RPi has been touted as the number one free GPU driver ARM platform.

Are there performance optimisations in the pipeline?

Any news on status of Vulkan for RPI4?

I looked into it last month and they were still at "the hardware is capable of it" stages of development on Vulkan. I wouldn't expect a seamless package anytime soon.

I believe there's a talk scheduled for FOSDEM in two weeks about a Vulkan driver for V3D...

Any news about the Rustification of Firefox? I would like that Phoronix follows this more closely. I'm interested in how Mozilla is able to eat more of it's own dog food.

So... are you saying Rust is bad? Why?

Not at all.

I'm interested in seeing Rust in action, specially in complex stuff such as Firefox.

There's RedoxOS, an OS written in Rust.

I'm more interested in complex applications, such as web browsers.
