Nested weston question

Fabio Calabro

Hello,

We are woking with Jacinto6 using new GLSDK version 7.02.00.02

We are trying to use two nested compositors, but unfortunately following does not work, as it results in segfault inside egl initialization.

Using omap_drm on /dev/dri/card0, weston drm-backend.so and wayland-backend.so.

# weston --tty=1 --socket=weston-0

# weston --backend=wayland-backend.so --display=weston-0 --socket=weston-1

The second weston is not able to initialize egl and segfaults.

Is using nested wayland compositors (weston) and EGL supported by powervr in TI J6 EVM (GLSDK)?

Hello Fabio,

We don't support nested compositors in Weston today. This is an item to be looked at for 2016.

Anand

Hi,

We updated the system to the last sdk. Looks like the nested compositor is still not supported.

Can you provide an update?

Hi Fabio,

Yes, we don't have support for nested compositor yet. Most customers who have need for advanced features such as nested compositor usually have their own compositor and not depend on Weston's reference implementation.

Can you contact your TI FAE with use case and need for this feature request?

Regards,

Anand
