Linux/BEAGLEBOARD-X15: Powervr Drivers and Ti2016.05-rc4 Kernel

Thanks for the reply, Yes and No. We are using this EVM but without the display and attached a screen directly via HDMI. 

Are you able to run weston or kmscube?

Please refer to below wiki page and  disable eglfs_kms by setting the environment variable QT_QPA_EGLFS_INTEGRATION=none and check if you still see the same issue -

Hi Manisha,

we didn't tried weston since we don't want to use anything else than eglfs directly. i can try for you but the link you reffer to seems blocked for me:

You don't have permission to access "processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_Linux_SDK_Graphics_and_Display" on this server.

KmsCube does work (copied binary from TI-SDK evm rootfs directly) and launched (first QT5 application wit -platform eglfs (wich fails), next kmscube directly);

But as you can see KMScube also uses Display 0 which (from my view) is omapDSS display and not PVR display as seen in dmesg:

I tried to use the  QT_QPA_EGLFS_INTEGRATION=none ; but it makes no difference..

QMAKE Configuration; 

Regarding your access to the wiki above, please try to access it outside your company firewall, because that wiki is in public area.

Wiki:
Still, from my home (without firewall) and with external line at company office this doesn't work. perhaps if you can save it as PDF and email me (stef.boerrigter@bench.com) then i can have a look? 

Can you please run below SGX 3D demo and share with us your log?

#/usr/bin/SGX/demos/Raw/OGLES2ChameleonMan

I wasn't able to download other file that you shared. Please attach that file with the post. 

Running the raw demo works fine (i get an I2C error on HDMI but that's known);

Hi Manisha,

I think i uploaded it as a text file now.
Regarding logs for the working demo, it doesn't output more to the console then: just PVRShell: EGL 1.4 initialized. i do attach a dmesg file to this post which is generating a lot of DISPC output.7026.DMESG_OGLES2Demo.txt

Hi Manisha, 

Any update from your side?

Kind Regars, Stef.

A quick attempt to add the layer (master branch) resulted in numerous errors/issues. Could you give insights in what patches are required for us? (since the versioning for this layer is also not equal to current Yocto versioning / branches / tags).

Please check this wiki page -

When pressing the "Use OpenGL" button the following crash occurs:
EGLFS: OpenGL windows cannot be mixed with others.
Aborted (core dumped)

Which application are you running here?

stef boerrigter said:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_INTEGRATION=none
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT=135.60
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH=152.50

Are these settings applicable to both the test cases?

stef boerrigter said:

cd /usr/share/qt5/examples/widgets/painting/deform
./deform -platform eglfs
qt.qpa.input: X-less xkbcommon not available, not performing key mapping

What is this warning about? Is X11 included?

stef boerrigter said:

--> CPU Usage 20-30%

What are the settings of Radius, Deformation and FONT Size?

We shall have a look at the Processor SDK wiki, we are using our own SDK based on TI more or less but we shall try to leverage from it.

regarding the other remarks:

Deform (as you suggested), when pressing the "Use OpenGL" button it crashes with that message beeing printed out.

Yes, they apply to both the tests.

No X11 or other windowing system is included. we use a touch screen and input from it works.

Default for starting the application. 

We grabbed the sources from the QT examples dir and compiled for ourselfes (sources like https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/examples/widgets/painting/deform )

When running the deform from the TI sdk (grabbed from the pre-compiled TI-SDK-Filesystem) we don't see such a button, but now load is around 50% CPU with all the parameters slided to the max (Lens Radius MAX, Font Size Max and Deformation MAX). This indicates not much opengl happening from my perspective.

This binary (TI-SDK Deform )gives no other output compared to previous deform (self compiled application) output. 

Hi Stef,

 The QtWidget examples use software rendering and no openGL is involved there. Traditional QWidget based painting aren't accelerated, unless QOpenGLPaintDevice is used.

Refer to the following documents.

http://wiki.qt.io/Qt5GraphicsOverview

QPaint: use software randering

QML: use openGL (openGLES)

Please note that QT also supports a new Class QOpenGLWidget which invokes hardware acceleration. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qopenglwidget.html

What's your use case? You may want to try some QML examples. 

Hi Manisha,

The reason we posted the results to these demo's was that you asked us to run them and post results, i think we are drifting a bit form the original question which is QT + OpenGL + SGX support.

Kind Regards, 
Stef.

Hi Manisha, 

We used the exports, and we can confirm that they help resolve the problem we have as before, we are just not yet 100% confident that QT and Opengl Integration are now working fully.

We tried running the CUBE example from Qt and while spinning the cube fastly the cpu load is verly low so that indicates that at least somethings are going wel.

Do you have a suggestion how we can check how successfull our chain of [SGX - Drivers - Opengl - QT] is?

In the background we are looking at the Arago/Ti-sdk build to check for usefull additions / differences.

Thanks for your help.

Not all GPU operations are going to be faster than CPU. The GPU benefits will typically for -

a. Large window (at least 64x64) & lot of operations
b. Composition
c. Vector operation on a large data set
d. Transformations - rotation, scale, translate, affine transforms
e. How infrequently do the index buffers change between frames

You can try using one of these tools to check the loading on SGX -
