Mesa Turnip for Adreno 710 / 720 / 722

Custom-built Turnip (Mesa Freedreno Vulkan driver) for Android, targeting three Adreno A7-series GPUs that upstream Mesa does not officially list as supported. Built for use with Android emulators and native games via driver-swap frontends (e.g. Winlator, GameHub-style loaders).

Supported GPUs and Their Host Chipsets

Adreno GPU model numbers are shared across multiple Snapdragon chipset tiers, each with a different CPU. This driver targets the GPU silicon, not a specific phone, so it should work across all chipsets below — but CPU performance (and therefore real framerate) will vary by device.

Before You Use

• Read the release notes for the specific build you're downloading — behavior differs meaningfully between Mesa 24.x, 25.x, and 26.x branches.
• Check the "known issues" section on each release page before reporting a bug.

Recommended Usage

• Use sysmem mode for better stability on all three GPUs — GMEM mode is more prone to rendering artifacts on this unsupported configuration. Enable it by setting the environment variable TU_DEBUG=sysmem before launching the game/emulator.

Testing

Available Builds

Mesa 26.x (main branch) Releases →

Mesa 25.x (multiple variant builds) Releases →

Mesa 24.3.4 (legacy branch)

• r1
• r2

Note: in our testing, Mesa 24.3.4 tends to run lower FPS than Mesa 26.x on the same workloads. Try 26.x first unless you have a specific compatibility reason to use the legacy branch.

Old README:

This is a bash script to build freedreno/turnip for android as a magisk module and an Adreno Tools driver package.

Scheduled Releases

• Automated releases at 06:00 UTC on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Notes;

Magisk build:

• Root must be visible to target app/game.
• Tested with these apps/games listed here.

Adreno Tools build:

• Follow application specific instructions to install the driver package.

To Build Locally

• Obtain the script turnip_builder.sh on your linux environment. (visit the link and use CTRL + S keys)
• Execute script on linux terminal bash ./turnip_builder.sh
• To build experimental branchs, change this line, and add one more line to rename unzipped folder to mesa-main.
