What happened in IoT this April? Here are some headlines I found interesting from last month

1

Ubuntu

This month, NVIDIA finally open-sourced kernel modules for their GPUs. With what was by now a much-awaited transition towards the landscape of open-source software, the silicon vendor released the kernel driver under a dual MIT/GPL license. Cindy Goldberg, VP of Silicon alliances at Canonical, noted how the new NVIDIA open-source GPU kernel modules simplify installs and increase security for Ubuntu consumers, whether AI/ML developers, gamers or cloud users.

Nouveau

Back in the day, Linux developers wishing to steer clear of NVIDIA's proprietary stack reverse-engineered its GPU features into what was named the Nouveau project. Much has changed since Linus snubbed NVIDIA in 2012 for hiding from the FOSS world. A couple of years later, the chipmaker provided significant technical guidance and was involved in architectural changes to Nouveau to support the GK20A GPU for Tegra K1 chips. Those contributions even earned them a "thumbs up" by Linus himself.
