Vulkan Driver?

[ArmBoy1988]

Has anyone seen this?  The claims there is a Vulkan driver now:

Can't confirm.

Rockchip version segfaults for me (on Ubuntu) but I didn't spent any further time looking why.

Mesa3D's PanVK / Panthor driver is half of this.  The other half is support in the Linux kernel:

Specifically the "Display Controller (VOP)" ("VOP" = Video Out Processor).  The HDMI PHY and bridge are slated for kernel 6.13-rc1.  Without those, the HMDI controller can't send a picture.  There are more portions too for 4K / 8K support, audio support, etc.  But at the very least with the PHY and bridge working, I think that enables native kernel + Mesa support to get a picture and use Vulkan. 

Kernel 6.12 was released today.  The 6.13 development cycle should begin soon, although there's often a break over Christmas and New Year, so I'm expecting something early 2025 for a full working solution.
