Packages with Turnip + Zink compiled and ready to be used on the system.
Install the package using dpkg -i mesa-turnip-zink-<version>-<arch>.deb You will come across some necessary dependencies, just type apt --fix-broken install -y and wait for the package to be installed.Drivers are installed in /opt/<arch>/turnip-zink-<version>.
Only tested on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)
If you want to install armhf drivers on arm64, you will need to add multiarch support in your RootFS, for that type dpkg --add-architecture armhf and then type apt update, after that you will be able to install the drivers .
The drivers were thought to be used in the Box4Droid project, but you can perfectly use it in your RootFS, there are two options.
• The first option is to simply copy the include, lib and share folders to the /usr folder of your RootFS, with that you will already be using the drivers by default on your system.
After copying the folders to the /usr directory, edit the file at /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/freedreno_icd.arch.json (You can use the editor of your choice, in my case I used nano). Go down to line 4, and update the directory of the libvulkan_freedreno.so file, which is now in /usr/lib/arch/libvulkan_freedreno.so (Replace arch with arm-linux-gnueabihf or aarch64-linux-gnu.
You will need to use some Mesa environment variables to use the drivers, it is recommended to add them in the .bashrc file so you don't have to export them every time you start a new session in your RootFS. The variables I recommend adding are export MESA_VK_WSI_DEBUG=sw, export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink and export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6COMPAT
• The second option is for you who want to debug an application and don't want to override the drivers already installed on your system, you can use Mesa environment variables for that, here's an example:
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="/opt/arm64/turnip-zink-775e42e6/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/" VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/opt/arm64/turnip-zink-775e42e6/share/vulkan/icd.d/freedreno_icd.aarch64.json MESA_VK_WSI_DEBUG=sw MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink glxheads
I want to say a huge thank you to a few people who made this possible.
I want to thank Heasterian, this generous man who always helped me when I had any doubts when compiling the drivers.
I also used the Cross Compile method that Heasterian provided in their Box86-64-on-SD845-mobian repository here.
I would also like to mention and thank JeezDisReez, he shared a patch on Termux Discord where it is possible to compile Turnip with only the "kgsl" flag.
And thanks to the Mesa devs for developing the drivers.
