Platforms and Drivers |
|
===================== |
|
|
|
Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems. But there's also |
|
support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other systems such as |
|
Haiku. We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and |
|
software drivers. |
|
|
|
The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES, Vulkan, |
|
EGL, OpenMAX, OpenCL, VDPAU, VA-API and XvMC. |
|
|
|
Hardware drivers include: |
|
|
|
- Intel GMA, HD Graphics, Iris. See `Intel's |
|
Website <https://01.org/linuxgraphics>`__ |
|
- AMD Radeon series. See |
|
`RadeonFeature <https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature>`__ |
|
- NVIDIA GPUs (Riva TNT and later). See `Nouveau |
|
Wiki <https://nouveau.freedesktop.org>`__ |
|
- Qualcomm Adreno A2xx-A6xx. See :doc:`Freedreno |
|
<drivers/freedreno>` |
|
- Broadcom VideoCore 4 and 5. See :doc:`VC4 <drivers/vc4>` and |
|
:doc:`V3D <drivers/v3d>` |
|
- ARM Mali Utgard. See :doc:`Lima <drivers/lima>` |
|
- ARM Mali Midgard, Bifrost. See :doc:`Panfrost <drivers/panfrost>` |
|
- Vivante GCxxx. See `Etnaviv |
|
Wiki <https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv/wiki>`__ |
|
- NVIDIA Tegra (K1 and later). |
|
|
|
Layered driver include: |
|
|
|
- :doc:`D3D12 <drivers/d3d12>` - driver providing OpenGL on top of |
|
Microsoft's Direct3D 12 API. |
|
- :doc:`SVGA3D <drivers/svga3d>` - driver for VMware virtual GPU |
|
- `VirGL <https://virgil3d.github.io/>`__ - research project for |
|
accelerated graphics for qemu guests |
|
- :doc:`Zink <drivers/zink>` - driver providing OpenGL on top of |
|
Khoronos' Vulkan API. |
|
|
|
Software drivers include: |
|
|
|
- :doc:`LLVMpipe <drivers/llvmpipe>` - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code generation |
|
and is multi-threaded |
|
- Softpipe - a reference Gallium driver |
|
- :doc:`OpenSWR <drivers/openswr>` - x86-optimized software renderer |
|
for visualization workloads |
|
|
|
Additional driver information: |
|

- `DRI hardware drivers <https://dri.freedesktop.org/>`__ for the X |
|
Window System |

|
and Unix-like operating systems |

|
|
Deprecated Systems and Drivers |
|
------------------------------ |
|
|
|
In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating |
|
systems. These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and |
|
distribution. If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in |
|
the Git repo. The list includes: |
|
|
|
- 3dfx Glide |
|
- 3DLABS Gamma |
|
- ATI Mach 64 |
|
- ATI Rage 128 |
|
- DEC OpenVMS |
|
- Intel i810 |
|
- Linux fbdev |
|
- Matrox |
|
- MS-DOS |
|
- S3 Savage |
|
- Silicon Integrated Systems |
|
- swrast |
|
- VIA Unichrome
