It's one thing to hide Verilog it's another to stuff huge binary in my kernelIt's one thing to hide Verilog it's another to stuff huge binary in my kernelPosted Jun 26, 2008 18:57 UTC (Thu) by engineer_1 (subscriber, #49452)In reply to: It's one thing to hide Verilog it's another to stuff huge binary in my kernel by khim Parent article: Nvidia Reiterates Position on Closed Source Driver (OSnews)
Sorry about the confusion; I'm lately finding that reading the RTL for our chip designs in my own company is the only way to figure out what the crazy hardware guys are up to... Anyway, you raise a good point: NVIDIA's documentation has always been their weakest point, assuming you can even find the documentation. I should mention, however, that they do have a public, documented SDK, and a huge variety of companies are using it to create their own (proprietary, usually!) applications. The medical industry, for example, has some interesting high-end, super high resolution flat panels, with drivers that they wrote, using NVIDIA SDK APIs. Likewise for the movie industry, and so on.
