| 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. |
