Collabora advances Mali GPU support with Kraid compiler and Tyr Rust driver linuxgizmos.com/collabora-ad... @linuxgizmos.com.web.brid.gy

Collabora advances Mali GPU support with Kraid compiler and Tyr Rust driver Collabora Advances Rust-for-Linux with New Tyr DRM Driver for Mali GPUs

Collabora has introduced Tyr, a new Rust-based Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver for CSF-based Arm Mali GPUs. This step strengthens Rust integration within the Linux kernel community. Tyr is a port of Panthor, a mature C driver for the same hardware, and is developed through a collaboration between Collabora, Arm, and Google to modernize GPU driver development using Rust.

Kraid is now the default Panfrost compiler for Valhall and newer Mali GPUs! ⚡ The new compiler cuts shader instructions and spilling, speeds up compilation, lowers memory use, and provides a stronger foundation for future Panfrost optimization. col.la/panfrostkraid #Kraid #Panfrost #Mesa #Vulkan

Panfrost is now using Kraid!

Kraid cuts Panfrost shader instructions by nearly 20%, reduces spilling by over 80%, and compiles Vulkan pipelines up to 7× faster.

Tyr is proving what Rust can bring to Linux GPU development. By successfully booting the Arm Mali-G610 MCU, the driver is validating new upstream DRM and GPU memory-management abstractions while helping strengthen the Rust infrastructure behind future kernel drivers. col.la/upstreamingtyr #Tyr

Upstreaming Tyr: Rust, DRM, and the Linux Kernel

Explore how Tyr boots the Arm Mali-G610 GPU’s MCU using upstream Rust DRM abstractions, advancing Rust-based GPU driver development in the Linux kernel.

Android graphics stacks are getting a stronger open source path. With Turnip, Mesa’s #Vulkan driver for Qualcomm Adreno GPUs, we helped bring Android conformance, cleaner platform integration, shared runtime plumbing, and real-device CI into the same upstream-focused stack. col.la/mesaonandroid

Mesa on Android: How we brought Turnip, SkiaVK, and Cuttlefish to CI

Turnip achieves Vulkan 1.3 conformance on Adreno 6xx and becomes the first Mesa driver officially conformant on Android, backed by new runtime and CI improvements.
