NVIDIA's Open-Source Kernel Driver Ported To Haiku OS, Mesa NVK Adapted To Run On Top
Haiku OS developer X512 has managed a rather impressive feat: porting NVIDIA's open-source kernel modules to Haiku
With this code being designed to be platform independent for the most part, it was helpful in porting to Haiku compared to say the Nouveau DRM kernel driver that is very much Linux specific. The Haiku code is at a stage where some Vulkan apps are running on the platform with this NVIDIA open-source kernel driver and Mesa NVK. This support, of course, only works ofr Turing GPUs and newer due to the dependence on the NVIDIA GPU System Processor "GSP" with this modern kernel driver.
