BROADCOM V3D GRAPHICS DRIVER(9)

💅 Broadcom V3D Graphics Driver 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Broadcom V3D Graphics Driver page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9) — it's giving kernel-graphics main character energy, and we're gonna understand it together ✨

This driver supports the Broadcom V3D 4.2 and 7.1 GPUs. slay 💅

⚠️ real talk: support for V3D 3.3 and 4.1 GPUs is deprecated, and it will be removed in the next kernel release. no cap, it's literally on the way out 😭

For V3D 2.x support, see the VC4 driver. iykyk 🦋

The V3D GPU includes a tiled render (composed of a bin and render pipelines), the TFU (texture formatting unit), and the CSD (compute shader dispatch). iconic internals, fr fr 👑
