reports NVIDIA announced it will begin publishing NDA-free GPU programming documentation. The move will make it easier for open-source developers, like the creators of the Nouveau driver for Linux, to write code for NVIDIA's GPUs.
Andy Ritger on the behalf of NVIDIA published the Device Control Block specification on Monday for the NVIDIA VBIOS that describes the board topology and display connector information. He also says NVIDIA is committed to releasing more information and will be monitoring the Nouveau mailing list along with setting up a NVIDIA.com email address that open-source developers can use in seeking more information.
