[meta-fsl-arm]: Wayland/Weston issue with gpu-viv-bin-mx6q 3.5.7-1.0.0-alpha.2

[Andy Voltz]

I've been integrating the gpu-viv-bin-mx6q binaries from meta-fsl-arm into
Timesys Factory, but I've encountered a linker issue which I think illustrates
non-functional lib{EGL,GAL}-wl in the 3.5.7-1.0.0-alpha.2 version yocto
provides. 

I'm not sure if this is an issue that needs to be fixed, given the impending
jump to 3.10, but I figured I'd share it just in case.

Before getting into further details, it's worth stating that the 3.10 stuff in
master-next is fine (KUDOS!) This is just an issue with the master branch. In
fact, replacing libEGL-wl.so and libGAL-wl.so with the binaries found in the
3.10 version in master-next fixes this issue.

Now the details:
With 3.5.7-1.0.0-alpha.2, linking weston throws several undefined symbol
errors around these symbols:

gcoOS_CapturePointer
gcoOS_CopyPixmapBits
gcoOS_CreateClientBuffer
gcoOS_CreateContext
gcoOS_CreateDrawable
gcoOS_CreatePixmap
gcoOS_CreateWindow
gcoOS_DeinitLocalDisplayInfo
...(46 total, all named gcoOS_*)

Using objdump to compare the symbols in 3.5.7 to those in 3.10 version, all 
of these symbols are defined in the 3.10 version of libGAL-wl.so. They are
either *UND* or not found in the 3.5.7 versions of these binaries.

I've run into this with Timesys tools -- my attempts to build weston in yocto
meta-fsl-arm master have been all unsuccessful--clearly the fixups to weston
in master-next are needed for a start.

For Timesys, I think I'll just drop in the 3.10 gpu-viv binaries, and test
using that. weston is working in our environment with this configuration, but
I need to revisit X, DFB, and fb.

I have seen this with 3.5.7 as well, but 3.10 recipes from master-next
seem ok for me.

Cheers,

[Post Lauren-RAA013]

Wayland Weston is fully support in 3.10.9-1.0.0 so it is better to use that version over 3.5.7. There were some additional components that needed updates for Weston to work outside of the graphics package that are in the 3.10.9-1.0.0 alpha release.  These changes are in master-next now.

Hi Lauren,

Is it ill-advised to use the gpu-viv-bin-mx6q binaries with the 3.0.35-4.1.0 release? It passed a smoke test with wayland, but I haven't dug in further with X, dfb, fb.

Perhaps we'll only pull in the -wl.so libraries for 4.1.0 for now until 3.10 is non-alpha.

Also, when I tried the vivante samples in a 3.10 master-next build, they seemed to take over the framebuffer. The weston 'simple-egl' client runs in a window without an issue. Can you recommend any other tests from viv_samples, or is this pretty much expected functionality? Just trying to make sure things are working properly in our environment.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Post Lauren-RAA013]

3.10.9-1.0.0 graphics is still p12 based which works with 3.0.35-4.1.0.   3.10.9 beta which is not release yet will not without kernel changes.

simple-shm, simple-egl or any of the weston-examples.

We'll be updating the fsl-gpu-sdk in beta to support wayland-weston.
