How is a gpu driver ported? Isn't it proprietary?
From a past article, reversing a printer protocol was derided for its complexity and there is a wire to snoop.
- stirlo 4y agoThe main asahi dev is a reverse engineering legend who previously worked on both Nintendo Wii and PS3/4. I think the apple hardware is probably easier to reverse than those platforms.
- outworlder 4y agoThe driver is not ported, it's reverse engineered. > reversing a printer protocol was derided for its complexity and there is a wire to snoop. Anything can be reverse engineered with enough time, effort, and domain knowledge. A printer may not be worth it.
- viraptor 4y agoThere's also a "wire" to snoop here. Marcan wrote m1n1 which allows you to run Mac virtualised and shows the hardware communication.
