11:05 <mntmn> someone made a videocore vulkan driver https://github.com/Yours3lf/rpi-vk-driver/releases/tag/v1.0

11:58 <maelcum> hello! does etnaviv have vp8 decoding support?

12:29 <Surkow|laptop> mntmn, pretty neat

12:29 <Surkow|laptop> but apparently it doesn't cover the whole vulkan spec

12:29 <Surkow|laptop> or feature set

12:30 <Surkow|laptop> https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RPi-VK-Driver

12:31 <Surkow|laptop> does the driver do any video decoding at all? I thought most socs have dedicated video decoding hardware for that in the embedded market

12:33 <mntmn> yeah etnaviv does not do video decoding.

12:34 <mntmn> Surkow|laptop: yeah the code is full of TODOs too. but i wonder if it can be a useful template or inspiration for vk on etnaviv

12:35 <Surkow|laptop> which probably won't work on a GC860

12:36 <Surkow|laptop> only newer vivante hardware

12:36 <Surkow|laptop> but I guess older hardware would benefit the most from no opengl overhead in drivers

12:37 <JohnnyonFlame> I'd be pretty damn happy already with some sort os instancing like attribute divisors

12:37 <JohnnyonFlame> you'd need HALTI2+ tho right

14:54 <cphealy> What would instancing like attribute divisors be useful for?

14:58 <JohnnyonFlame> I missed a comma there

14:58 <JohnnyonFlame> "instancing, like attrib<...>"

14:58 <cphealy> So not instanced rendering like offered in GLES 3.0?

14:59 <JohnnyonFlame> that would've been ideal, yes

14:59 <cphealy> ack

15:00 <JohnnyonFlame> right now it's either duplicate a LOT of data on vertex attributes or fetch from texture

15:00 <JohnnyonFlame> or I'm mising something obvious that other people aren't ;)

15:11 <austriancoder> JohnnyonFlame: ARB_instanced_arrays should be supported with HALTI2+

15:11 <JohnnyonFlame> which is GC3000, not GC860 :(
