Following the initial set of drm-misc-next updates for Linux 6.19, another round of drm-misc-next updates were sent out today in queuing ahead of that next kernel cycle. There are a number of updates to the smaller DRM graphics/display drivers as well as growing activity around the accelerator “accel” open-source drivers for different NPUs / AI accelerators.
Another week’s worth of drm-misc-next material is now on the way to DRM-Next for queuing ahead of the Linux 6.19 merge window coming up in December. This week’s highlights include:
– The AMDXDNA accelerator driver for Ryzen AI NPus can now read the last hardware error to occur and expose it to user-space. AMDXDNA also now exposes firmware debug output.
– The Intel IVPU accelerator driver will now automatically reset the engine on more job errors.
– The Qualcomm QAIC accelerator driver added support for DMA-BUF exports, support for the READ_DATA implementation on new firmware, and other changes.
– The Rockchip DRM driver DSI code now supports the RK3368 SoC.
More details for those interested via this pull. There still is another couple weeks to go for additional Direct Rendering Manager pull requests to be queued up in time for the Linux 6.19 cycle.
