As part of Igalia’s collaboration with Raspberry Pi, I have previously blogged about several improvements we landed for the Broadcom VideoCore GPU (known as V3D), with the goal of extracting the best possible performance from the hardware.

Unleashing the power of 3D graphics in the Raspberry Pi is a key commitment for Igalia through its collaboration with Raspberry Pi.

The Linux kernel 6.8 came out on March 10th, 2024, bringing brand-new features and plenty of performance improvements on different subsystems.

Igalia is always working hard to improve 3D rendering drivers of the Broadcom VideoCore GPU, found in Raspberry Pi devices.

After finishing up my first Igalia Coding Experience in January, I got the amazing opportunity to keep working in the DRI community by extending my Igalia CE to a second round.

This blogpost was actually written partially in November/December 2022 while I was developing IGT tests for the V3D driver.

In my last blog post, I described a bit of my previous work on the rustgem project, and after that, as I had finished the VGEM features, I sent a RFC to the mailing list.

After my last blogpost, I kept developing the Rust version of the VGEM driver, also known as rustgem for now.

In the last blog post, I pointed out that I didn’t know exactly what it would be my next steps for the near future.

2022 really passed by fast and after I completed the GSoC 2022, I’m now completing another milestone: my project in the Igalia Coding Experience and I had the best experience during those four months.
