I've seen people write that there are no Tegra 2 drivers and that hurts G2X development.
Are these Tegra 2 drivers useful?

If you don't know,you can ask it in the general or QA forums. This is in a wrong section so if I were you I would ask a mod to move it

well. the "development" section is only for roms/kernels that the devs actually make. not for stuff that MIGHT help the development.
in all honesty, i believe this should be in this section however due to forum rules..

By the name, I thought it was about Android Development. But rather than nitpick, do you know if these are the Tegra 2 drivers everyone is looking for?
Someone just say if they are or not!
Nvidia never again!
Im not sure anyone knows. Not a lot of developers around g2x mostly Ports/cooks. that question is in the right spot I

I have doubts since it is from 6 months ago and Nvidia has publicly stated something along the lines that they will release something at some early this year. Sorry for the somethings haha, but I'm not about to give out false info.

Looks to me like tegra, not tegra 2. In all honesty, if the drivers were made availible these guys would have them already...
The Tegra 2 drivers have not been released yet. Sorry for the bad news.
I'm guessing if we had them, we would have atleast the android news sites reporting this.
I can't wait for them. Really want to use the G2x with ICS

Then what is in the link I supplied?
Strange the responses I've been getting here - no one is verifying that those are Tegra 2 drivers because you HEARD that Tegra 2 drivers haven't been officially released? Maybe these are the unofficial drivers?
I examined the package and it does appear to be Tegra 2 - specifically, Tegra 250.
^ I think that's Tegra 1, not 2.. :O
So Tegra 3 is released, shouldn't they give out tegra 2? :/

No. NVIDIA won't release source code for anything and is very irresponsible about releasing up-to-date drivers. So far, NVIDIA has not publicly released drivers for ICS for the Tegra 2.

I honestly don't understand this article. Are these the same drivers we need for Gingerbread or are these drivers specifically for MeeGo and MeeGo alone? Either way its good news because now a dev can try to port MeeGo to the G2x.

One time my car was low on gas so I went to the gas station and got more gas.
True story bro.
We already have TegraII drivers for Android 2.2 etc, and if they can't be used for Android 2.3 or 3.2 then I don't see how a MeeGo driver could be used for 2.3 or 3.2.
Just sayin'...

I guess I misunderstood what was being released. I thought they were talking about the drivers required for bluetooth etc that no one seems to have to be able to get A2DP working.

It's a Linux xorg GPU driver. More specifically its what's referred to as a "hardfp" driver. Meaning it takes advantage of the Tegra 2's hardware floating point math capabilities. It's nothing more than that. Also being that Meego is just a specialized version of your standard Linux distro this will not work with Android.
I would like to see someone compile Meego on a device a lot of people own already. Like the ASUS transformer.
There's work being done to port Dalvik to Meego too.
MeeGo uses X11, this should help with making other Linux distributions be nice to use on the Transformer.
hope this is a GOOD news for the Developers!!!

Only reason I say vaporware is because it was announced in February and nothing has come of it since.
We are working to get my project to work like ubuntu's but with the dual core requirement etc. But we are working on native graphics etc etc but who knows they may release something soon
Many people was talking about it and i jsut read this post about kernal source got released to the att htc one x

Best I ca describe and someone correct me if I am wrong.
It holds a lot of the hardware specific code. Without it we are unable to look at problems that may be specific to our device. It is at the heart of every os.
From what I have learned ... its like a bridge between software and the hardware ..

I'm mostly answering this to move towards getting the restrictions off my new account but the kernel source is essentially an oldish set of code that just got released which like has been said ferries info between the hardware and software. This code can be altered to create custom kernels that introduce new overclock speeds gpu overclocks under volting and a variety of other tweaks/enhancements.
Think of it as hardware drivers on your computer. A lot of the hardware cannot be fully utilized or is really buggy if the software does not recognize all the hardware.

Yeah, think of a kernel as a bridge. You click something on the screen (hardware) and the kernel tells your software the screen was tapped. You press the power button and the kernel tells your phone to shut off the screen. The source code is basically the instructions or the "recipe" of how HTC made the kernel. It's useful because developers can tinker easier and add more customisations into the kernel.

Possible? Yes. Probable? Probably not. Due to technical and legal issues.
Even if the technical challenges including reverse engineering closed source drivers is done the build would likely be kept private as Microsoft lawyers can and will make your life suck. Even if despite all the previous if you wanted to release it you would not be permitted to on XDA or many other sites since you would be in an, at best, legally gray area.

Sorry, it wasn't wp8 but it was wp7.x which is still closed source and is definitely hosted on XDA without issue. There is an entire sub forum dedicated to Windows Phone 7 ROMs for the HTC HD2. I get what you're saying but something being closed source obviously hasn't stopped XDA from hosting. Now, that being said, Adam Outler found a way to boot from an SD card which would make the process a hell of a lot easier.
