Platforms and Drivers
=====================
Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems. But there's also
support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other systems such as
Haiku. We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
software drivers.
The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1, ES2
and ES 3, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.
Hardware drivers include:
- Intel GMA, HD Graphics, Iris. See `Intel's
Website <https://01.org/linuxgraphics>`__
- AMD Radeon series. See
`RadeonFeature <https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature>`__
- NVIDIA GPUs (Riva TNT and later). See `Nouveau
Wiki <https://nouveau.freedesktop.org>`__
- Qualcomm Adreno A2xx-A6xx. See `Freedreno
Wiki <https://github.com/freedreno/freedreno/wiki>`__
- Broadcom VideoCore 4, 5. See `This Week in
V3D <https://anholt.github.io/twivc4/>`__
- ARM Mali Utgard. See `Lima
Wiki <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima/web/wikis/home>`__
- ARM Mali Midgard, Bifrost. See `Panfrost
Site <https://panfrost.freedesktop.org/>`__
- Vivante GCxxx. See `Etnaviv
Wiki <https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv/wiki>`__
- NVIDIA Tegra (K1 and later).
Software drivers include:
- :doc:`llvmpipe <drivers/llvmpipe>` - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code generation
and is multi-threaded
- softpipe - a reference Gallium driver
- :doc:`svga <drivers/vmware-guest>` - driver for VMware virtual GPU
- `swr <https://www.openswr.org/>`__ - x86-optimized software renderer
for visualization workloads
- `virgl <https://virgil3d.github.io/>`__ - research project for
accelerated graphics for qemu guests
- swrast - the legacy/original Mesa software rasterizer
Additional driver information:
- `DRI hardware drivers <https://dri.freedesktop.org/>`__ for the X
Window System
- :doc:`Xlib / swrast driver <xlibdriver>` for the X Window System
and Unix-like operating systems
- `Microsoft Windows <README.WIN32>`__
Deprecated Systems and Drivers
------------------------------
In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
systems. These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and
distribution. If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in
the Git repo. The list includes:
- 3dfx/glide
- Matrox
- ATI R128
- Savage
- VIA Unichrome
- SIS
- 3Dlabs gamma
- DOS
- fbdev
- DEC/VMS
- Mach64
- Intel i810
