beaglebone ai 64 access the gpu

I asked Gemini about the GPU driver and the reply is as below. Can you confirm if it’s correct? So I was wondering, if it’s possible to get vulkan running for AI inference ?

I also found a BB AI-64 post discussion related to GPU.

Response from Gemini regarding Linux drivers for Imagination PowerVR 8XE GE8430 GPU:

Thanks to Imagination Technologies finally opening up their “Rogue” architecture, true open-source drivers do exist now, but they require you to be on the bleeding edge of Linux development.

The Kernel Driver (powervr): Imagination officially merged their open-source DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) driver for the Rogue architecture into the mainline Linux kernel starting in version 6.8.

The User-Space Driver (pvr): The open-source Vulkan driver for the Rogue architecture was merged into mainline Mesa.
