Marcin Kościelnicki, a developer of the open source <span style="font-family:monospace;">[http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ noveau]</span> driver for Mesa has been writing down unofficial specs in his <span style="font-family:monospace;">[http://0x04.net/cgit/cgit.cgi/envytools/tree/ envytools]</span> repository.
NVidia doesn't provide official specifications, but a lot of community effort is spent in the [http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ noveau] project, which can be sourced for examples and documentation even though such reverse engineered specifications aren't complete nor guaranteed to be accurate. Marcin Kościelnicki has been writing down unofficial specs in his [http://0x04.net/cgit/cgit.cgi/envytools/tree/ envytools] repository.
Documents are not yet complete, with missing bits here and there, but they are certainly a great resource for learning about the internals of these graphic cards. These docs cover the entire range of NVIDIA hardware, from the first to the latest card.
Although having missing bits here and there, they are certainly an interesting resource for learning about the internals of these graphic cards. These docs cover the entire range of NVIDIA hardware, from the first to the latest card, and might prove sufficient to write a native driver.
