Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs
Developed in collaboration with Arm and Google, Tyr is a new Rust-based DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs.
Tyr is a new Rust-based DRM driver for CSF-based Arm Mali GPUs, making Collabora the first consultancy to formally join the Rust-for-Linux initiative, a testament to our commitment to advancing Rust development within the kernel community. In this sense, Tyr aims to eventually implement the same userspace API offered by Panthor for compatibility reasons, so that it can be used as a drop-in replacement in our Vulkan driver, called PanVK. We will begin by discussing the role of GPU drivers in general by exploring a simple yet very instructional application known as VkCube, which is available on the Vulkan-Tools repository, as we need to build this background before we can segue into the specifics of Mali's CSF architecture.
