QEMU’s latest release integrates the Venus patches, allowing virtio-gpu to support venus encapsulation for Vulkan, progressing towards full Vulkan support. An outdated Clollabora blog post in 2021 previously detailed enabling 3D acceleration of Vulkan applications in QEMU with the Venus experimental Vulkan driver, now updated. Definitions of various projects mentioned are provided, emphasizing the importance of specific versions and configurations for proper setup. The content includes merged patches with dates, and ongoing support updates. Step-by-step instructions are offered for building QEMU, creating and running an image, and verifying the setup with relevant tools. A workaround for adding Vulcan support in virt-manager is discussed, highlighting challenges and errors.
