Fuchsia has no GPL so it's unlikely any of the driver source will be available to you.

- swiley 5y agoThe BSDs have lots of drivers too, but it's rare you see them coming to an embedded board first (and rarer you see BSPs published for them from vendors.)
- fabrice_d 5y agoYes, but it's very unlikely that chipset vendors like QC or MTK will provide the source to their drivers. Why would they? On the other hand, if the driver interfaces are stable, it should be possible to implement a GPL kernel that can use these drivers.
