10:54 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> There is a test image for the Vim4 with kernel 5.15 https://dl.khadas.com/.test/vim4/5.15/

10:55 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> But Vim4 and a311d2 support is added on kernel 6.7 and I'm not sure how much complete that support is

10:58 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> @nicod_sbc if you're going to install that image could you share glmark2 results with Panfrost?

11:00 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> But Vim4 and a311d2 support is added on kernel 6.6 and I'm not sure how much complete that support is

11:05 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> It’s far far from working, amlogic promised sending the clock driver but so far nothing

11:06 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Once the clocks are done, the major work will be the HDMI transceiver and usb3 drivers

11:07 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> It's really crazy, this board has been released years ago and still there is few software support, meanwhile much newer generation boards have been released

11:09 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> I don't know why there is so few interest on a311d2 soc, it seems quite powerful. Rk3588 support is going much faster.

11:10 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> Maybe it's just because of the number of boards using the soc.

11:13 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Yep I think if more boards had this soc it would help, and also I think amlogic’s attitude bored out contributors

11:13 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Amlogic isn’t friendly with open source contributors, even companies and they only focus on big customers like Google or amazon

11:14 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> But rockchip does the same and this explains why the rk3588 is also so slow to be supported

11:15 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> But there's more attention ok Rk3588 anyway

11:15 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> But there's more attention on Rk3588 anyway

11:15 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Because of more boards for sure

11:16 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Perhaps buying rk Sox’s is simpler than amlogic

11:16 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Perhaps buying rk SoCs is simpler than amlogic

11:16 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> Also, let's not forget that Panfrost for Bifrost architecture is basically dead, all the drivers development is now for 3rd generation Valhall

11:17 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> And we're lucky that someone is doing it! 🙂

11:18 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Dead is a little bit harsh, ARM openly announced the official Bifrost Linux driver is panfrost, so it’s not dead

11:18 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> But I don't see any development for bifrost

11:18 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> GL features are pretty advanced, the big missing piece is Vulkan and it’s in development

11:19 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> Is it?

11:19 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Yes it is

11:19 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> I don't see any commits on panvk

11:20 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> And isn't Boris only working on Valhall?

11:20 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Seems collabora juste resumed the work, Alyssa didn’t care about VK

11:20 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> Seems so

11:20 <DC-IRC> <mz3d> We'll see
