"NOVA-Core" Patches Propose Building New NVIDIA Driver Piece-By-Piece In The Linux Kernel
Red Hat engineers have been working on Nova as an open-source driver successor to the Nouveau driver for upstream NVIDIA GPU support within the Linux kernel that can be used with the Mesa OpenGL/Vulkan drivers
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term, is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs. The Kconfig option on the proposed patch series makes it very clear the experimental/early state of NOVA-Core:"Choose this if you want to build the Nova Core driver for Nvidia GSP-based GPUs. We'll see if there's enough interest in getting the code into the mainline kernel in the next cycle or if it's still going to be a further drawn out process before beginning to see bits of NOVA land upstream.
