Any effort on tegra?

Any effort on tegra?

Hi,

Nvidia produces the tegra SoC-systems, a popular use is the toshiba
ac100.

These devices have an internal graphics chip, one can get a driver from
nvidia, but as you can guess, it's proprietary only.

I don't have any idea if these internal graphics chips are in any way
similar to "normal" nvidia graphic cards, but wanted to ask if there's
any effort by the nouveau-project to also support those?

(the binary driver is a pity, as it only supports xorg-server-1.6)

No, sorry. Tegras are significantly different from normal nvidia
chipsets. Some knowledge can be applied, but it's likely easier to write
a new driver for tegras than adapting nouveau. So there are no efforts
in supporting tegra within nouveau.

Ok, thanks anyway for the info (and keep on your good work).

As I may not be the only one asking that, I've added your answer to the
FAQ on your webpage/wiki.
