Maintenance work has been done, yes. But not new feature development.

This is how McDonalds workers in Denmark got union coverage. There are actually many good reasons for this.

I haven't checked but you may be correct, but Linaro has a stellar track record. These patches will land upstream if they haven't already.

ISP won't happen. GPU is just a matter of time, and has been enabled for previous platforms.

by robert_foss 3y ago
The GPU probably runs a firmware blob. Other than that Linaro is serious about upstream support.

Roads don't build themselves, water treatment doesn't happen by itself. What is society for if not to serve the common needs of the people?

The EU interoperability mandate for messaging services will surely improve this situation.

They have no interest in upstreaming their open sourced kernel driver it would seem.

TensorFlow Lite does indeed support OpenGL ES.

Do you think it is a from scratch design?

by robert_foss 3y ago
Kryo is not a from scratch design. It is most likely based on the A72. Qcom purchased an ARM architecture level license, which grants it access to the design of ARM CPUs and allows it to make changes and sell the resulting product. This is

I was about to say. Never before have I agreeed with Oracle.

Consent-O-Matic is a great project, and near completely solves the cookie banner issue while still giving the user the choice of which types of cookies that are desirable.

You're right, he may have been an early investor too.

Jim certainly didn't start Tenstorrent, but he did join it a while back. Some former AMD employees started it.

Having worked with creating drivers for Qualcomm (but not worked at Qcom) I can't stress enough how important is to have connections with people who are familiar with the hardware or have access to documentation.

Slowness of all kinds have the major goal for Matrix to fix in the last few months, they recently presented very impressive improvements at FOSDEM. https://video.fosdem.org/2023/Janson/matrix20.mp4

FOSDEM is unique when it comes to conferences. Not only is it free, but a lot of open source projects are represented there both in terms of talks/booths/devrooms.

Yeah, who knows what they'll ship with. But it is at least theoretically possible to run an open source stack.

Ah cool. Good thing the Imagination PowerVR GPU is getting an open source driver now then.
