Hello everyone,

My name is Andy. I am a university student from Canada.
I am currently working on a project which I am trying to port the mesa
library to another device. (the Altera DE2)
I am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions to get started.
Any information would be great! My email address is lilap...@gmail.com

Thank you for your time.

Normally, if someone wanted to write a new driver for a GPU you'd write a gallium driver (plus associated winsys code and kernel module).

AFAICT, the Altera DE2 doesn't have a GPU but an FPGA. Do you want to program the FPGA for 3D rendering? That would be a fun project but a big one. I doubt you'd be able to implement everything needed for a full Gallium driver (shaders, texture mapping, etc).

What is your end goal?  Some version of OpenGL or OpenGL ES, or ??
