ics hw acceleration - ICS Tegra2 drivers are here

Anyone knows when nvidia plans to release drivers so we can have hw acceleration working in ICS.
EDIT: There are binary drivers for Tegra2 and ICS in Acer A200 tablet.

No one knows and as the scene looks like, they never will release it...
We have many hardworking devz out there, I'm sure before Nvidia releases the code or even think to, we would have got jellybean too

I'd understand that they're not releasing the drivers because they rule the scene, but open source guys are running circles around them.

Qualcomm just released drivers for the adreno 2xx series So there is some hope from manufacturers

I think they are doing these coz they Don't want other manufacturers to copy thier drivers or something like that

LOL, with all the work that ICS is giving just to release it for O2X i seriously doubt that we will ever get Jelly bean...

Guys, ACER Iconia A200 has Tegra2 and ICS, why we cannot reuse those binary drivers for our Tegra2?
THE ROM IS here: http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a200-roms/3974-rom-ics-4-0-3-ultrabase-rooted-busybox-installed.html
Atrix 4G also has Tegra2, ICS is comming soon..
http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/02/15/update-motorola-ice-cream-sandwich-news/?pubid=987654
I believe Samsung Galaxy R (SGS2 with Tegra2) as well..
But A200 is here, I believe something can be cooked

First of all i'm not 100% sure about i'm about to say, but:
NVidia will probably never publish source codes of their drivers. They never did and they never will. Only phone manufacturer (LG in this case) can ask NVidia to make for them a specific kernel (or HAL?) with all required drivers. As far as i know LG is planning to do it becouse they want to give us official ICS "soon".
And about taking drivers from other devices...
It's quite complicated. In simple words hw video drivers are connected to specific kernel and somehow with other drivers (f.e sound, radio) which are diffrent then in f.e galaxy R. Samewhere on Ricardo Cerqueira's Google+ page was a discussion where someone explained how does it work and why it doesn't, but i can't find it atm.
Sorry about my english

We don't need the source, just the binaries. Driver shouldn't depend on the kernel, afaik.

HAL has to match kernel. Thats why we can't use GB divers and thats why we can't use drivers from other devices with same video hw.

What would be the purpose of Qualcomm releasing user-mode driver binaries for Adreno 2xx GPU on Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich if it wasn't possible to integrate them with AOSP for any Adreno 2xx GPU?

Ok, i have no clue how it works, but still - HAL uses libs that are in kernel (HAL is dynamically linked with them). If other kernel version has diffrent structs, HAL simply won't work with that kernel. I thought that diffrent devices have a bit diffrent hw related libs (maybe some phones like O2X do?) in kernel which is messing up with HAL.
Taking into account Your post, at this point i have no idea why HAL is or is not related to specific device.

[Solved] [Help] Flashable Adreno drivers for ICS

I have searched everywhere, I could not find a flashable zip for latest Adreno 205 drivers for our device. Only thread I could find is this in DEV section, and bit skeptical about bootloops with this one.
I keep on reading in forums, where people are reporting improved performance with the new drivers.
Am currently in latest update of RCSET's CM9 with ardX's kernel (May 17 one). Could not get MX player to decode using hardware and playing 720p with hardware acceleration will make this ROM a great experience
Can somebody point me towards the drivers, I would be most grateful. (elol has most of the good stuff )

It is in the thread of ck kernel 0.2b

ICS Drivers for Tegra 2...

Hi All,
i am not a developer and found this link which is having kernel 3.X.X.X drivers, so i thought they may be ICS drivers for Tegra 2 Ventana board, so can some one who is have knowledge on the Kernel please validate these drivers...
By using these drivers can we have H/W acceleration with ICS/JB...

Well, as far as I know, Android uses slightly modified Linux kernel. Starting from 3.X.X Linus T. started to include Android code into Linux. Anyway, conclusion is that provided code and binaries probably can be used to build fully-functional kernel for ICS, but it would be quite hard task and need a lot of effort. If LG will provide theirs plan to don't upgrade O2X, it looks reasonable to start such project, until that happened it can be waste of time.

So do you think it will be very hard for kernel developers to include these drives in the 3.X.X kernel ...

Obviously, it may need to develop kind of adapters between provided drivers and interfaces required by ICS. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of details regarding interaction between android (dalvik) and kernel, but according to my understanding it is possible.

[DEV's][BROADCOM] OPEN DIALOGUE WITH BROADCOM - MADTeam Forum

http://madteam.co/forum/general-77/(dev's)(broadcom)-open-dialogue-with-broadcom/
possible source for the gpu in the near future?

Possible cm7 in future
Open source will be never released,maybe new drivers

Well since broadcom is looking into the rom of the Y or Ace (not sure which one, because the topic was about ace, but was posted in Y Section) It is probably going to have full CPU and GPU Drivers

Well let's hope so, so we can get CM7.2 on this baby? Also the broadcom guy just posted a new reply to that topic.
Any developers from here care to go over and offer what info they can to help speed this along or whatnot? He asks about the "Y" in his latest reply, if the sources are released will the devs be able to use them for CM7.2 for our S5380i?

Hi paradoxiumwind
you have to read a little more of Galaxy Ace "S5830" S5830 Young Galaxy and have the same CPU, same GPU, videocam IV .. totally the same drivers, the only thing that has more Galaxy Ace S5830 is a flash and other veicina screen 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches ... I use Ace S5830 And talking with Broadcom to release some of the drivers that are essential, Broadcom seeks solutions to dismiss some of the drier gpu, to Mogo to create CyanogenMod, AOKP, AOSP ... and I understand for a lot more applications ... A full drivers for the GPU will come out a little later...

Thanks for the explaination, so since they're basically the same hardware when they release the source for the "Y", we (I mean the devs) can use it for our i to get CM7.2?

Yes.

Yes, I think they will only need to be replaced LCS Density from 120 to 160. or in the extreme case, to update and to add some more oddatak .. The whole system is done everything works great, but we can not be installing, means You can not get to the entrance, squardzone tested and missing his only got one driver ... look at the dialogue I think there you have everything else you need

will we able to see ICS or JB?
now a question... I know, is too soon, but, will we be able to see Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean in our loved devices? I'd like to help...

CM9 & CM10 Work Perfectly on galaxy GIO too. And apart from a greater PPI value, galaxy gio is lesser in sepcs as compared to Ace-i. I also think (And Hope) CM9 & 10 should work like a charm on 5830i as well in the near future. :good:

Specs do not matter much to run CM9/10. But you need good specs to run it smoothly. Even HTC G1, the first android phone, has Jelly bean but it lags.
Availability of drivers for chipset matters the most.

It means cyanogen wont provide a official CM9 for our device. But developers here can make a port or tweak it to run in our device once all sources regarding the CPU/GPU/kernel are available. :beer:

He think he meant that we should also support them as much as we can....so that broadcom really feels that there is an urgent need for the sources.

[!] Different CPU

Hi guys!
I was just disassembling my GT-S5830i, and then I saw something weird. The main processor is a BCM21552. So NOT a BCM21553!!
Could this be the reason that the libs don't work properly in ROMs build from source? And such things... Like overclocking...
And I found these quotes:
