You may have to roll up your sleeves for this one. From their communications I was under the impression that their current plan is to go deep (e.g. start...

My guess would be that this allows game developers to do initial development or porting on Linux rather than on the PS5. Probably makes for quicker code-compile-test-fix...

Aaaaaand it's gone. Link to the firmware is dead now, seems Asus removed it again.

[RSpliet]

Unfortunately that Linux support is not so much thanks to Asus; driver contributions for their hardware are largely carried by either the community or...

Benign is a bit of an odd description, given how the changelog mentions fixing CVE-2020-10757. Seems to me like urgency is the most likely reason why...

Driver dev here. When I joined a long long time ago, the sensible motivation I was told for the 80-character limit is that if you messed up a change in...

Speaking for myself, nah. Honestly, nouveau has been an amazing way of developing reverse engineering and developing skills that you just don't learn...

I doubt this explanation is true. They went out of their way to design a "signature check" specifically for the firmware running on the Falcon...

No. Prior benchmarks have shown that having DVFS support will get nouveau close to 70% of the official driver in terms of performance, but mileage may...

Granted, but with a caveat. As fused op design progresses from quick wins to more niche corner cases, the returns of adding (CISC or fused) instruction...

I would like to challenge that thought a bit. So far we haven't seen high performance RISC, but I think that's mainly because it's easier to get performance...

They are indeed, and I'm sure that parties like Cadence, TSMC, GloFo, Intel etc. have secrets in their production that they'd rather not share for competition...

Thank you for this wonderful demonstration of a classic slippery slope fallacy! If I may: ARM cores use binary blobs for the TrustZone mechanism. Other...

The connection between DRAM and DRAM controller requires a surprisingly large amount of tricks to maintain perfect signal integrity at high speed. Think...

Turns out making the analogue side of a DRAM controller is much like performing witchcraft. SiFive hasn't had the time or manpower to do that proper....
