    Hi ,


    I have added the matrix-gui in SDK. The application is running, but there is no GUI in Display.

    root@am57xx-evm:/#
    root@am57xx-evm:/# /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 start
    /
    Removing stale PID file /var/run/matrix-gui-2.0.pid.
    Starting Matrix GUI application.
    root@am57xx-evm:/#

    what might be the reason ?

    Hello,

    Is this a custom board or a TI EVM? If it is custom, what have you done to validate that the display is working correctly? It might be best to try the Processor SDK and get that running on the board first and then move to replicating things with Yocto/OE.

    Hi RonB,

    Thanks for the reply.
    Its Custom Board. I have tested the display is working fine. I have tested the qt demo applications in my custom board and that also fine.

    In the above query i posted the launching of matix-gui .
    Please provide the guidance to launch the MATRIX GUI application.

    Hello,

    Please try these steps:
    root@am57xx-evm:~# /etc/init.d/weston start
    Starting Weston
    root@am57xx-evm:~# /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 start
    /home/root
    Removing stale PID file /var/run/matrix-gui-2.0.pid.
    Starting Matrix GUI application.

    or

    root@am57xx-evm:~# /etc/init.d/weston start
    Starting Weston
    ...
    root@am57xx-evm:/usr/bin# ./matrix_browser http://localhost:80


    The Matrix GUI is loaded by this line

    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background -m --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $matrixgui -- $GUI_OPTS

    at /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0.

    Please refer the below guide for more information about Matrix:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../Examples_and_Demos_Matrix_User_Guide.html

    Hope this helps.

    BR
