This is currently being tracked [1], but the issue seems to be linked to the version of the tools used in Debian, and the fact that we build our kernels with BTF support, so the issue is likely to be difficult to find.

From the comment above the code, I understand that the main limitation is when allocating most of the memory to the GPU, leaving only 64MB to the CPU. It seems possible to do that on many RPi: - On 256MB RPi, the maximum gpu_mem value is 192 - On 512MB RPi, the maximum gpu_mem value is 448 - On >= 1GB RPi, the maximum gpu_mem value is 944 Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
