SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR MIT) + +========== +Guidelines +========== + +This documents contains the guidelines for nova-core. Additionally, all common +guidelines of the Nova project do apply. + +Driver API +========== + +One main purpose of nova-core is to implement the abstraction around the +firmware interface of GSP and provide a firmware (version) independent API for +2nd level drivers, such as nova-drm or the vGPU manager VFIO driver. + +Therefore, it is not permitted to leak firmware (version) specifics, through the +driver API, to 2nd level drivers. + +Acceptance Criteria +=================== + +- To the extend possible, patches submitted to nova-core must be tested for + regressions with all 2nd level drivers. |
