Open-Source Qualcomm Adreno Vulkan Driver Matures To Default AArch64 Mesa Driver List
The open-source Qualcomm Adreno Vulkan driver within Mesa known as 'TURNIP' has now matured enough that it's going to be built by default when compiling Mesa for ARM64/AArch64 hardware.
Granted, the Vulkan driver list is configurable by default for any architecture and not all AArch64 hardware has Qualcomm Adreno graphics, but making it to the default list will help with better exposure as well as out-of-the-box build testing on 64-bit ARM. Turnip has seen much progress in recent years for bettering the open-source Vulkan API support with Adreno hardware and paired with the MSM kernel driver. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
