Freedreno Now Has OpenGL ES 3 Working On Adreno A3xx/4xx

Written by Michael Larabel in Mesa on 15 August 2015 at 08:29 PM EDT. 10 Comments

As some Freedreno driver news this weekend besides Qualcomm publishing some register documentation is word that OpenGL ES 3.0 is now working for the Freedreno Gallium3D driver on Adreno A3xx/4xx hardware.

OpenGL ES 3.0 is now in place for this Adreno hardware with the exception of MSAA anti-aliasing. This milestone was reached with the Freedreno driver getting transform feedback support, MRT+z32s8 support, and TBO support. This is also enough to run the OpenGL 3.1 SuperTuxKart racer game (when forcing the MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE and MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE environment variables).

More details on the latest Freedreno Gallium3D work that will be found in Mesa 11.0 can be found via Rob Clark's blog, the lead developer of Freedreno.
