Freedreno on Android
Channel: Igalia
Date: 2024-04-08

Over the last few years the quality of Mesa's drivers has increased
exponentially, to the point where many prefer the use of the open source driver
to their proprietary counterparts. Open source drivers can have better
compatibility, less bugs, and more frequent updates to resolve issues. Because
of this uptick in quality, you may want to run the open source drivers on other
operating systems such as Android.

In this talk we will explore the work that was required to get Freedreno
running on Android. This will include setting up the development environment,
loading the driver on real hardware, development tips & tricks, running tests,
setup of debugging environment, issues encountered during the porting process,
and lastly we will explore some areas of Mesa that could be updated to simplify
porting to other operating systems. This talk should provide a guide for anyone
looking to get their Mesa driver running on Android.
