[Buildroot] [help] Nitrogen6X with Vivante : restart on Qt5 examples

[Mylene Josserand]

Hi,


I am currently trying OpenGL with Vivante driver on a Nitrogen6X using 
Buildroot.

Previously, I got an segfault error while starting X.
"Segmentation fault at address 0xe0"

Thanks to Gary Bisson (in cc), using the galcore module from Buildroot 
(BR2_PACKAGE_KERNEL_MODULE_IMX_GPU_VIV=y) and not the kernel one + 
updating the kernel to 3.14.28, solved the issue.

With the galcore driver loaded using insmod, the Vivante is, now, working.

I compiled Qt5 examples (BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_EXAMPLES=y) and I tested 
some openGL examples :
    - "qopenglwindow" : This example is working fine
    - "textures" example : in many case, the board restarts when the 
application is launched.
    - "hellogl" : I see the Qt logo from the example but when I try to 
move the object, the board restarts.

Here is my Xorg.log, in case it could help : 
http://paste.debian.net/hidden/609ae872/

Each time the board reboots, I get an "POR" reset cause in UBoot.


Maybe, I have a misconfiguration or I am doing something wrong.
Any help would be great !


Thank you in advance,

Best regards

Can you specify which version of Buildroot? v2016.02 or master or older?

This will help a lot to know the version of Qt, X11 etc...

Same here, please specify the exact Vivante libraries version
(5.0.11p6.3 or 7.1).

Can you share you xorg.conf? Also specify your setup, how many
displays connected, which port (HDMI, LVDS, RGB etc..).

Well then it's a feature, the Qt app appears to be restarting the
board properly ;-)

This might sound strange, but please also provide the U-Boot version
you are using. The reason is that we offer a wide range of displays,
since we want customers to have a plug and play experience we've added
something for kernel >=3.14 where U-Boot is in charge of modifying the
device tree on the fly to setup the displays properly.

Finally, can you upload your image for me to try?

Thanks,
Gary

Yes, sorry to forget this information.

I am currently on 2016.02-rc2. I will update to v2016.02 soon. If it 
could help you, I can update it right now.

Here is my Xorg.conf :

Section "Device"
     Identifier  "i.MX Accelerated Framebuffer Device"
     Driver      "vivante"
     Option      "fbdev"     "/dev/fb0"
     Option      "vivante_fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
     Option      "HWcursor"  "false"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "BlankTime"  "0"
     Option "StandbyTime"  "0"
     Option "SuspendTime"  "0"
     Option "OffTime"  "0"
EndSection


I have one HDMI display (1208x720 66Hz).

Interesting, my uboot version is : U-Boot 2013.07.

Yes, images are coming :)

Please update, you should use either v2015.07 or v2016.03.

You should be able to just run:
U-Boot> run upgradeu

In case it doesn't work, you should fine everything you need here:
https://boundarydevices.com/compiling-latest-u-boot-for-i-mx6-2015-edition/
https://boundarydevices.com/u-boot-v2016-03/

Please make sure to clear your U-Boot environment once updated.

Thanks,
Gary
