Blogging the Monkey: October 2014
http://bloggingthemonkey.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tales of a code monkey. Monday, October 13, 2014. Silly r/e tool nonsense hacks. In the process of reverse engineering work for freedreno, I've cobbled together some interesting tools. The earliest and most useful of which is cffdump. A few months back, I added some basic lua. Scripting support to cffdump, mostly to assist in r/e work for adreno a4xx. When invoked with the - script argument, cffdump would load the specific lua script, and call the 'draw' function it defines on each CP DRAW INDX. Robclark...

Blogging the Monkey: December 2014
http://bloggingthemonkey.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tales of a code monkey. Saturday, December 20, 2014. A4xx in the holiday spirit. Just in time for the upcoming break, we have figured out how to do alpha-test, and now supertuxkart is rendering properly:. And gnome-shell works nicely too. Still some rendering issues with xonotic. And a little ways behind a3xx in piglit results, but not quite as much as I would have expected at this early stage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A4xx in the holiday spirit.

Xwayland | Clean Rinse

Shampoo for your System. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. April 6, 2014. Jasper St. Pierre. Last week I wrote about Wayland in 3.12. And promised that I’d be writing again soon. I honestly didn’t expect it to be so soon! Sorry that this happened. I know about it, though, and I’ll get to the bottom of this one way or another. And hey, maybe it will be magically solved by…. Last night something very, very exciting happened. Xwayland landed in the X server. So, why did it succeed so fast?

ARM’s Cortex A32 is a Tiny CPU for Wearables and Raspberry Pi-Like Boards. Tuesday, 23 February 2016 - 10:53 AM - ( Mobile. ARM's Cortex CPU core designs are widely used by all kinds of chipmakers who don't want to create their own ARM CPU designs from scratch, so it's important to pay attention when the company announces a new one. The ones we see the most often around here are the mainstream 64-bit cores for smartphones and tablets the high-end Cortex A72. And A57 and the mid-end Cortex A53. First spot...

Bɑs ˈtjɛ̃ no ˈse ʁɑ/ (hadess) News. Thursday, 7 August 2014. If you have an orientation sensor in your laptop that works under Windows 8, this tool. Might be of interest to you. Will use that code as a base to add Compass support to Geoclue (you're on the hook! I've made a hack to load games metadata. Using Grilo and Lua plugins (everything looks like nail when you have a hammer ;). I've replaced a Linux phone full of binary blobs. By another Linux phone full of binary blobs. And possibly for himself).

Blogging the Monkey: January 2014
http://bloggingthemonkey.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tales of a code monkey. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Freedreno update: new year edition. Time for another freedreno update. hw binning support, and fun with gallium HUD. The big news is that hw binning. Pass support (for a3xx) is working. This is a pre-pass for all the draws which generates a visibility stream (ie. basically which vertices apply to which tiles) used to speed up the tile rendering step by filtering out non visible vertices for a given tile.

Blogging the Monkey: November 2014
http://bloggingthemonkey.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tales of a code monkey. Saturday, November 15, 2014. A couple weeks ago, qualcomm (quic) surprised some by sending kernel patches. To enable the new adreno 4xx family of GPUs found in their latest SoCs. Such as the apq8084 powering my ifc6540. Board with the a420 GPU. Note that qualcomm had already sent patches to enable display support for apq8084, merged in 3.17. And I'm looking forward to more good things from their upstream efforts in the future.

Tales of a code monkey. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Freedreno turns gl 2.0 today! I've just pushed to upstream mesa support for occlusion query, which means that freedreno now advertises OpenGL 2.0:. OpenGL vendor string: freedreno. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on FD320. OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 10.3.0-devel (git-00fcf8b). OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20. Note that this is desktop OpenGL. Freedreno has supported OpenGLES 2.0 for quite a long time now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blogging the Monkey: February 2014

Tales of a code monkey. Wednesday, February 5, 2014. Complementing the hw binning support which landed earlier this year. And is now enabled by default, I've recently pushed the initial round of new-compiler work to mesa. Initially I was going to keep it on a branch until I had a chance to sort out a better register allocation (RA) algorithm, but the improved instruction scheduling fixed so many bugs that I decided it should be merged in it's current form. Sine Cosine, LIT. Light Coefficients, etc).
