Hi!  
HTC Wildfire E, Power VR GE 8320, Android 9  
**vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices returns 0 devices at all.**  
I have no any Validation errors from Khronos Validation Layers.  
Vulkan capps Viewer also reports:

Hi andreyogld3d,

It seems the phone you’re using has a PVR GE8322 GPU ([HTC Wildfire E - Full phone specifications](https://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire_e-10595.php)), which was designed to support Vulkan ([Find out about the PowerVR GE8322 embedded GPU IP Core](https://www.imaginationtech.com/powervr-gpu/ge8322/)).

However, it might happen that the SoC manufacturer has not added Vulkan support to the drivers they distribute for your device. Since they are the ones making those decissions, I recommend you contact them so they can inform you about future updates that would allow Vulkan API support on your device.

Best regards,  
Alejandro

According my debugging on this device Vulkan driver is exist because I can load libvulkan.so but has a bug. I will try to contact HTC.
