About open-gpu-kernel-modules

This is NVIDIA's official GitHub repository hosting the source code for its Linux open GPU kernel modules, version 615.71.09. It enables users to build, install, and modify the kernel modules that provide core NVIDIA GPU functionality on Linux systems.

The repository supports building modules for x86_64 and aarch64 CPU architectures, and works with Linux kernel 4.15 and newer. Built modules require matching GSP firmware and user-space NVIDIA driver components from the corresponding 615.71.09 driver release to function. It is suited for Linux system administrators, developers, and advanced users who need to customize or deploy NVIDIA GPU drivers, especially those working with custom kernel builds or aarch64 hardware.

Key features

  • Provides official source code for NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel modules
  • Supports building for x86_64 and aarch64 CPU architectures
  • Compatible with Linux kernel 4.15 and newer
  • Includes build options for verbose output and debug builds
  • Accepts community contributions via GitHub pull requests
Best for: It is most useful for Linux system administrators, developers, and advanced users who need to customize, build, or deploy NVIDIA GPU kernel modules on Linux systems, particularly those working with custom kernels or aarch64 hardware.
Good for
  • Official NVIDIA source release ensures full GPU compatibility
  • Supports both common x86_64 and aarch64 Linux architectures
  • Straightforward build process using standard make commands
  • Compatible with a wide range of Linux kernel versions (4.15+)
Watch out for
  • Requires matching GSP firmware and user-space driver components from the same driver release
  • Large contributions may be difficult to merge due to shared proprietary code base processing
  • Repository functions mostly as a per-driver-release snapshot with limited individual change history
