Panthor open-source driver achieves OpenGL ES 3.1 conformance with Arm Mali-G610 GPU (RK3588 SoC)
Quoting: Panthor open-source driver achieves OpenGL ES 3.1 conformance with Arm Mali-G610 GPU (RK3588 SoC) - CNX Software —
So not only the kernel driver is now compliant, but the userspace driver has been upstreamed to Mesa (24.1.1), meaning 3D graphics acceleration will now work with fully open-source drivers on the Rockchip RK3588 SoC and other SoCs with Arm Valhall GPUs can be supported too. This follows Panfrost OpenGL ES 3.1 conformance with Mali-G57 GPU in 2022.
It’s another good software news for the Rockchip RK3588 SoC that recently got support for NPU-accelerated LLM, and is already usable with mainline Linux for some applications as shown in the Linux mainline matrix provided by Collabora, although admittedly there’s still some work to do for multimedia open-source drivers for the VPU (video decoder/encoder), MIPI DSI/CSI display and camera interfaces, and a few other drivers.

Mali-G610 Achieves OpenGL ES 3.1 Conformance
Collabora recently announced a significant milestone: the Panthor kernel driver and Mesa Panfrost driver have achieved official conformance for OpenGL ES 3.1 on the Mali-G610 chip, part of the 10th generation of Mali GPUs, known as “Valhall”.
