[ANNOUNCE] NVIDIA EGL External Platform interface and Wayland library release

[Miguel Angel Vico]

Hi all,

Along with our 378.09 BETA driver release this morning, we have
published our work-in-progress EGL External Platform interface source
code.

For a little bit of context, you can find my XDC 2016 talk about this at

  https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2016/Program/vico_egl_external_platform_mgmt/

, although the interface has changed from what I presented back then.

The EGL External Platform interface will allow anyone who wants to add
support for a new window system EGL platform to our driver to do so on
top of lower-level EGL platforms.

For now, that means on top of EGL_PLATFORM_DEVICE_EXT, most likely using
EGLStream extensions.

As a reference implementation of the interface, we have also released
our Wayland EGL platform library source code.

Both the interface and Wayland library code can be found at

  https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform

and

  https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland

respectively.


Suggestions and comments are always welcome.


Thanks,
