bbrezillon: ML. Fine to go ahead and send them so we can be ready to apply them once the driver lands.
<bbrezillon>
robher: ok
<bbrezillon>
alyssa: same for mesa patches?

tomeu: looks like the GPU hangs with your DVFS patch
<bbrezillon>
anything I should in the DT
<bbrezillon>
?
<alyssa>
bbrezillon: I prefer email for patches; just make sure to CC me or I won't see it :)
<Lyude>
cwabbott: you don't happen have any contacts at valve who work on steam that might have a minute to take a look at some very low hanging fruit with the steam client, do you?
<alyssa>
bbrezillon: Very nice work! :)

hi everyone, i've been looking to learn about gpu drivers and i found out about panfrost from the collabora blog. as i understand panfrost is under heavy development
<milloni>
if i want to contribute, where do i start?
<milloni>
all i know so far is that panfrost is a driver for Mali-T880 GPUs, as i understand these are integrated GPUs for arm SoCs
<milloni>
what kind of hardware should i get to hack on it? is there a recommended SoC?
<TheCycoONE>
midgard/bitfrost - so technically the target includes T-6xx to T-8xx and GXX.
<milloni>
TheCycoONE: ack, so - up to the newest mali GPUs?
<urjaman>
practically right now it (somewhat) runs on T760 and T8xx
<Lyude>
mhm, if you are starting out I would go for a midgard system
<Lyude>
we don't even have the compiler for bifrost working yet
<milloni>
right, okay
<milloni>
so when you're doing development on a midgard system, what board are you using?
<Lyude>
I have a couple that I've been given from a few various companies, afaik the best experience usually is with the rk3399 SoCs/laptops, alyssa uses a kevin chromebook for their dev
<TheCycoONE>
rk3288/rk3399 were the earliest targets, and she was using chromebooks
<Lyude>
(or did-I don't remember if they changed systems)
<milloni>
hmm okay
* milloni
looks at chromebooks
<TheCycoONE>
socs would be cheaper for the same thing if you already have a setup for it
<TheCycoONE>
e.g. rockpi4 for rk3399
<milloni>
yes i just saw the prices for chromebooks..
