Pamsonkhano wa XDC2020 (X.Org Developers Conference) za ARM kulowa nawo ntchito yopititsa patsogolo ntchito , yomwe imapanga dalaivala wotseguka wa mavidiyo a Mali. Malingaliro a kampani ARM Apatseni oyambitsa madalaivala zidziwitso ndi zolemba zomwe akufunikira kuti amvetsetse bwino zida za Hardware ndikuyang'ana zoyesayesa zawo zachitukuko, osataya nthawi kuthetsa zovuta za madalaivala oyimba a reverse engineering. M'mbuyomu, zomwezi zidachitikanso ndi kulumikizana kwa Qualcomm kuti agwire ntchitoyo , yomwe imapanga dalaivala waulere wa Qualcomm Adreno GPUs.
Kutenga nawo gawo kwa ARM kudzathandiza kuti ntchitoyi ikhale yokhazikika mpaka kukhala yokonzeka kugwiritsidwa ntchito ponseponse komanso kupereka chithandizo chokulirapo ku malangizo amkati a Mali GPU popereka chidziwitso choyambirira chokhudza kamangidwe ka chip. Kupezeka kwa zolembedwa zamkati kudzathandizanso kuwonetsetsa kuti magwiridwe antchito apamwamba, kutsata kwathunthu ndi kuwunikira zonse zomwe zilipo za Midgard ndi Bifrost GPU.
Zosintha zoyamba zomwe zakonzedwa kutengera zomwe zalandilidwa kuchokera ku ARM zachitika kale ku driver code base. Makamaka,
ntchito yachitidwa kuti abweretse ntchito zonyamula malangizo ku mawonekedwe ovomerezeka ndikukonzanso kwathunthu chophatikizira kuti chiwonetsere bwino kamangidwe ka GPU Bifrost malangizo akhazikitsidwa ndikugwirizana ndi mawu omwe atengedwa mu ARM.
Dalaivala wa Panfrost adakhazikitsidwa mu 2018 ndi Alyssa Rosenzweig waku Collabora ndipo mpaka pano adapangidwa ndi uinjiniya wosinthira madalaivala oyambilira a ARM. Pakalipano, dalaivala amathandizira ntchito ndi tchipisi zochokera ku Midgard (Mali-T6xx, Mali-T7xx, Mali-T8xx) ndi Bifrost (Mali G3x, G5x, G7x) microarchitectures. Kwa GPU Mali 400/450, yogwiritsidwa ntchito mu tchipisi tambiri zakale kutengera kamangidwe ka ARM, dalaivala akupangidwa padera. .
