I can only speculate on this aspect (from inside the industry), but it's been plain to see that AMD has been hemorrhaging engineers (though they still have plenty of talent). This relates to your request about getting built-in support: I'm not sure AMD has the manpower to do that work, and they might be hoping the OSS community helps them with that...
- ethbro 11y agoI'd be interested in what the ROI on more deeply embedding with OSS devs is vs employing someone to contribute. From what I've seen, for years the OSS GPU driver crowd's response to "opened" specifications / docs seems to have been "That's nice, but these aren't the docs we need."
- robbies 11y agoOh, they have the docs they need. That's essentially what is shared with console devs. The problem is that to get up and running is pretty Herculean with just docs. They need good sample implementations to get kickstarted.
