Wonder how much will this benefit RK3588-based SBC?

Isn't it in limbo and the only way is to reverse engineer the driver?

I wish there's a RK3588 or similar that is linux friendly but with the G7XXX GPU instead. Or maybe a RPi with a Mali G7XX GPU instead of VideoCore.

That implementation works on RK3588 but so far only some test benchmarks works as vkcube etc. Not all features implemented yet but Boris working for it.

DRM is the kernel side of the driver. Gallium is Mesa side, for OpenGL. PanVK is Mesa side, Vulkan.
