Join us this Friday at #LAS2021, as Jakob Bornecrantz looks at the current state of VR/AR on the #Linux desktop, and explains how to build apps using the #OpenXR API! https://conf.linuxappsummit.org/event/3/contributions/72/ #Linux #VR #AR #Monado #OpenSource

New blog post! Mainline Linux gains accelerated video decoding for Microchip's SAMA5D4 https://col.la/avdms #Hantro #V4L2 #Embedded #Linux #OpenSource

DKMS is a framework mostly used to build & install external kernel modules. However, did you know it could also be used to patch modules of the current kernel to apply a specific fix? Here's how: https://col.la/qhdkms #Coding #HowTo #Linux #bluetooth

Collaborans continue to expand on their efforts to close the gap between hardware support on vendor trees and mainline. Here's a look at where things stand with the release of kernel 5.12: https://col.la/lk512 #Linux #OpenSource #Video4Linux #V4L2

GTK4 & Visual Studio, continued: you can now build #GTK4 as a #Meson subproject for your application! Xavier Claessens explains how, including the simple steps needed to build GtkSourceView 5.0 & GTK4's #GStreamer media backend with #VisualStudio! https://col.la/gtksv #GNOME #Windows

Video: 2020 was undoubtedly a watershed year for #OpenSource graphics drivers on #Arm. In this talk presented at #LVC21, Alyssa gives an annual status update of open drivers for Arm GPUs with a view of what's to come. http://col.la/lvcar #VideoCore #Freedreno #Panfrost #Linux

Recently, we have been using #Perfetto to successfully profile Apitrace traces in #crosvm through #VirGL renderer. The tools provided by Perfetto can be very effective for profiling virtualised GPU acceleration. Antonio Caggiano explains how: https://col.la/virglperfetto #virglrenderer #gpu #opengl #opensourcesoftware

New blog post! Marcus Edel presents our latest #ML project: Continuous 3D Hand Pose Tracking using Machine Learning & Monado OpenXR https://col.la/3dhpt

Video: Presented last month at #LVC21, Nicolas Dufresne takes a deep dive into stateless video decoder support for #Linux, including the effort to bring native support in both #FFmpeg & #GStreamer. https://col.la/lvcnd #LinaroConnect #OpenSource #OpenSourceSoftware #Decoder #Linux

Did you know you could easily run a permissively-licensed MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) implementation with minimal dependencies on an #embedded device? Here's how to run cmtp-responder on a Rock Pi 4 (or any other board equipped with a UDC). https://col.la/g3hj9 #Linux #HowTo

Video: In our second talk presented at last month's #LVC21, Alyssa Rosenzweig looks at where we are, and what's to come, for open drivers for Arm GPUs. http://col.la/lvcar

It's here! Say hello to #PanVk, an Open Source #Vulkan driver for Arm Mali Midgard and Bifrost GPUs! https://col.la/panvk/ #Panfrost #OpenSource 🎉

Live now at #LinaroConnect, Nicolas Dufresne presents "Bringing Stateless Video Decoder Support To Linux"! Watch here (free registration): https://connect.linaro.org/ #LVC21 #OpenSource #Codec

New blog post! Earlier this year, the #Rust compiler gained support for #LLVM source-base code coverage. Here, Guillaume Desmottes explains how to leverage this to setup a #CI job in a Rust project & feed source-base coverage information to @gitlab : http://col.la/rtlmgl #OpenSource #rustlang

Join us this week at Linaro Virtual Connect, as we discuss bringing stateless video decoding support to Linux, and take a look at where we are, and what's to come, for open drivers for Arm GPUs! https://col.la/lvc21 #LVC21 #LinaroConnect #Panfrost #Linux #OpenSource

Does your GPU work with free graphics drivers? Join Alyssa Rosenzweig this Saturday at #LibrePlanet 2021, as she discusses the state of free software for graphics hardware: where we are, how far we've come, and where we're going. https://libreplanet.org/2021/speakers/#4687 #Panfrost #FOSS
