Just a little more than a week after AMD openly released
R600/700 GPU code to begin development of an open-source 3D driver for
their ATI Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 hardware, a disassembler and table
dumper for their video BIOS abstraction layer has been released to
developers. This tool called AtomDis was used early on in the
development of the RadeonHD driver by Novell and is now being released
under the GNU GPLv2 license to assist interested open-source developers
or act as an instrument to those learning about graphics processor
programming.
