bhyve Nvidia GPU passthrough working on Bhyve?

[finalturismo]

So i came across some AMD guys that have released some patches for GPU passthough for AMD cards and they seem to have good luck with it. The GPU passthrough situation is the only thing preventing me from moving my daily systems over to Freebsd. From what i have seen is that in the kvm module their is some code that fully resets the card "twice" from what i see. I guess this is allowing the guest to get ahold of it. Makes me wonder if there is a method of the masking the GPU from host on a much lower level than the ppt driver.

Anyway was wondering if anyone here has been able to apply any patches or anything that has allowed them to boot Bhyve with a Nvidia card.

Do you have a link for the article regarding AMD? I have only assigned a PCIe network adapter over and had no issues with that. Graphical is a different beast though and if you don't have another card, how would you use your system?

The pci passthru happens at boot time and the devices won't be visible to the host if you've assigned them to a guest (done in /boot/loader.conf).

He is having issues, but I think you're trying to accomplish the same thing.
