The Vulkan SC Validation Layers are provided in this Drive OS SDK package as a prebuilt binary as a convenience until changes adapting the standard Vulkan Validation Layers for Vulkan SC are finalized and upstreamed to public Khronos repositories. The source used to build the layers is also provided if there is a desire to build them from scratch. The source can be found in validation_layers_source.tar.gz and can be unzipped using: tar -xf validation_layers_source.tar.gz The Vulkan SC Validation Layers at present do not contain the same level of support as the standard Vulkan Validation Layers and currently only provide parameter validation.
