The Guide is how to use Ubuntu filesystem with i.MX8 series platform.At present, I had try it on i.MX8QXP with 4.14.98 kernel with ubuntu16.04.

The Document will be continuously updated with enable VPU, ubuntu18.04. The desktop we can chose Gnome or weston. Because driver

support issue, gc7000 series gpu not support render Gnome destop but it can render weston destop.

Update 2019/7/31:

Ubuntu-i.MX8-weston.pdf

Feature:

weston + ubuntu18.04 + 4.14.98 kernel
VPU (enable with gplay or gst-play)
GPU (could render desktop and run GPU demo under root privileges on Weston Desktop)

I also try ubuntu with gnome desktop, ubuntu18.04 can not run gnome, need use ubuntu19.04. But Gnome Desktop just render by CPU.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 2020/3/6:

Ubuntu-i.MX8M.pdf

Just a simple guide for IMX8M series, will be continuously updated.

Hello Gnar,

Thank you for posting this detailed document. I was trying to follow it for nxp imx8m-mini evk. I have been able to build yocto for this board and that seems to work fine but now want to try ubuntu with weston on this evk. I have these questions for you in your Ubuntu-i.MX8-weston.pdf document.
In section 9 you write:
2)copy libdrm,wayland vpu-firmware from yocto
$sudo cp -Pra libdrm/2.4.91.imx-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
$sudo cp -Pra imx-gpu-viv/1_6.2.4.p4.0-aarch64-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
$sudo cp -Pra imx-dpu-g2d-1.7.0/imx-dpu-g2d/1.7.0-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
$sudo cp -r all-poky-linux/firmware-imx/1_8.1-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/

Could you tell me from which folder (cd ~/????) you are running these commands? Also this folder ubuntu 18.04 does not exist anywhere, where does it get used later? I do not see any other reference to "ubuntu 18.04" folder in this document.

Is imx-dpu-g2d a typo, should it be imx-gpu-g2d ?

Also you say:
2.Compile the kernel separately to replace yocto kernel
Do you mean bitbake linux-imx after I have built yocto? Currently in the yocto build I do see that a kernel Image that has been built.

Thanks,
Amrit

  Hi, Amrit
  1.which folder (cd ~/????)
  The command run Host PC side. To build a ubuntu rootfs, decompression rootfs first such as tar -xvf ubuntu-base-18.04.2-base-arm64.tar.gz -C ubuntu-rootfs, in my case modify ubuntu-rootfs to ubuntu 18.04, May cause you misunderstand and I will uniform naming. This command purpose
  is copy libraries related GPU to ubuntu-rootfs.
  2.Compile the kernel separately
  Because the GPU dirver be builded as galcore.ko by yocto default. So compile the kernel separately to make Image include gpu dirver. In kernel source code(I download form linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel , not use the yocto code), after command $ make menuconfig, you can see the .config
  CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV=y.

Hi Gnar,

i was curious whether you have tested a webcam with ubuntu and seen if it works? i'm struggling to get a simple logitech webcam to work. It looks like i'm getting a dmesg alert that "VPU_firmware_download Failed"... so i assume the VPU firmware is messed up.

maybe i copied in the wrong file at some point...

  Hi, Kyle
  I am not test webcam but other one test it ok. I am not sure he do other config for it. If you webcam is usb camera, may should enable UVC driver in kernel. About VPU firmware, are you copy it under /lib/firmware ? You also can copy unit_test file form yocto, use v4l2 to open camera.

    Hi Gnar,
    
    I think i've gotten a bit confused on what specifically to copy. From your awesome manual (Ubuntu-imx8-weston.pdf)
    there are several commands here:
    2) copy libdrm, wayland, vpu-firmware from yocto
    $sudo cp -Pra libdrm/2.4.91.imx-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
    $sudo cp -Pra imx-gpu-viv/1_6.2.4.p4.0-aarch64-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
    $sudo cp -Pra imx-dpu-g2d-1.7.0/imx-dpu-g2d/1.7.0-ro/image/* ubuntu 18.04/
    $sudo cp -r all-poky-linux/firmware-imx/1_8.1-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
    
    What would help me is to understand the actual folder paths for each of them.
    My assumption is that you are copying from the Yocto build... could you give me the full paths to /libdrm/2.4.91.imx-ro/image/, /imx-gpu-viv/1_6.2.4.p4.0-aarch64-ro/image/, /imx-dpu-g2d-1.7.0/imx-dpu-g2d/1.7.0-ro/image/* and all-poky-linux/firmware-imx/1_8.1-r0/image/*
    
    2nd, when you point out the destination folder of 'ubuntu18.04/' do i assume that /ubuntu18.04/ is the base of the ubuntu rootfs?
    
    thanks

Hello Gnar and Kyle,

I am glad to see that more than one person is working on this project. First of all thank you Gnar for creating the documents and outlining the essential steps.

Kyle,
I also went through and located all folder that need to be copied from yocto build folders to ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs (or ~/rootfs/ubuntu18.04). Here are the the source folder names in each case:

cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build/tmp/work/aarch64-mx8mm-poky-linux
sudo cp -Pra libdrm/2.4.91.imx-r0/image/* ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs
sudo cp -Pra imx-gpu-viv/1_6.2.4.p4.0-aarch64-r0/image/* ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs
sudo cp -Pra ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build/tmp/work/aarch64-mx8mm-poky-linux/imx-gpu-g2d/6.2.4.p4.0-r0/image/* ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs

cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build/tmp/work
sudo cp -r all-poky-linux/firmware-imx/1_8.1-r0/image/* ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs

In my case rootfs folder is ~/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs.

Gnar,

I am able to run ubuntu18.04 in basic form with Gnome or xfce4 but still in the process of trying to put all the components in my rootfs. I noticed a weird error in step 3) for weston-imx.
Here is the error log, when I run autogen for weston-imx:

Thank you both.

  Hi Amrit
  1. I am install gnome base ubuntu18.04 meet error on 8QXP but sucessful with ubuntu19.04. At present, gnome not support GPU and use the CPU to render the desktop,
  the performance is not very optimistic. so i am try debug GNOME to support GPU but it need some time.
  2. When you build weston-imx meet error. If you had install gnome or xfce4(BTW: it base on X11, 8 series GPU is only support wayland, but if use CPU to render desktop,
  xfce4 is better than gnome because gnome is more complex), please build weston-imx without it because some component of GNOME of xfce4 effect weston-imx build.
  if not,try use the command:
  #./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-silent-rules --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-setuid-install --disable-rdp-compositor --enable-clients --enable-simple-clients --enable-demo-clients-install --disable-colord --enable-egl --enable-simple-egl-clients --enable-fbdev-compositor --disable-headless-compositor --enable-drm-compositor --enable-weston-launch --disable-lcms --disable-libunwind --with-pam --disable-vaapi-recorder --enable-wayland-compositor --without-webp --disable-x11-compositor --enable-xwayland --enable-imxg2d --enable-imxgpu --enable-drm-compositor --enable-opengl
  3. I had not meet the err, you can reference :cross compiling - What's the difference of "./configure" option "--build", "--host" and "--target"? - Stack Overflow .

    Hi Gnar Fang : The GPU can't render gnome because of limitations in the OpenGL library or is there another reason?

Hello Gnar,

Thank you for your reply. I think I am now very close to building ubuntu after following your document.

I now have these remaining items.
1. I do not see anything called imx-dpu-2d in my yocto build folder. So I am not able to run this step in your document:
sudo cp -Pra imx-dpu-g2d-1.7.0/imx-dpu-g2d/1.7.0-r0/image/* ubuntu18.04/
My DISTRO is fsl-imx-xwayland and MACHINE is imx8mmevk

2.. I tried the new autogen step as you mentioned in your last post for weston-imx but it still does not build. I now get different errors during autogen step. Here is my log:
.........................

..................
.................

checking for OPENGL... yes
checking for GL_RENDERER... yes
checking for XKBCOMMON_COMPOSE... yes
checking for XWAYLAND... no

No package 'xcb-xfixes' found
No package 'xcb-composite' found
No package 'xcb-shape' found
No package 'xcursor' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XWAYLAND_CFLAGS
and XWAYLAND_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much.

  Hi,Anrit
  1. imx-dpu-2d path in yocto is /buildxwayland/tmp/work/aarch64-mx8mm-poky-linux/imx-gpu-g2d ,8MM have not DPU.
  2. back to first command:
  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-silent-rules --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-setuid-install --disable-rdp-compositor --enable-clients --enable-simple- clients --enable-demo-clients-install --disable-colord --enable-egl --enable- simple-egl-clients --enable-fbdev-compositor --disable-headless-compositor -- enable-drm-compositor --enable-weston-launch --disable-lcms --disable-libunwind --with-pam --disable-vaapi-recorder --enable-wayland-compositor --without-webp --disable-x11-compositor --disable-xwayland
  
  The error log is :
  1)configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
  2)checking build system type... Invalid configuration `clients': machine `clients' not recognized
  
  Are you build in qemu enviroment ? I had not meet the error in my step and not set any enviroment variables. Try google how build weston, according to the log you need
  add the arguments about --build, --host, --target.
  The second command, try disable xwayland at first.
  
  The xwayland is not necessary.

First of all, thank you very much for your proposal。But i have a question that I hope you can help me with this。In Ubuntu-imx8.pdf setp 2 Compile the kernel separately to replace yocto kernel，Specifically which is kernel to replace yocto kernel?
thanks!

  Hi, gao
  Because in default, GPU driver galcore is compiled as .ko file, so need compile the kernel separately to make galcore in kernel.

    thanks for your answer.Can you tell me how to compile the kernel separetely? I use fellowing methods make it ：
    bitbake -c compile -f -v linux-imx
    bitbake linux-imx -c compile_kernelmodules -f -v
    bitbake -c deploy -f -v linux-imx
    result：
    Compare with before：
    galcore used numbers different.and no have qca6174 driver.and a lot of drivers have been added。
    how to resolve it？

      Hi,
      
      A easy way is download linux-imx for linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel , Then use command "$ make defconfig, $ make" to build Image .
      Use the Image replace your current Image.

Hi,

I am also porting Ubuntu 18.04 to iMX8 Quad Max custom board with 4.14.98 BSP by referring https://community.nxp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/343939-3-454211/Ubuntu-i.MX8-weston.pdf Document.

Till section 9. copy imx-gpu-viv in mentioned document able to understand properly. But after section 10.build weston, its not saying that where need to build weston, wayland, gstreamer and gst-plugins? How to link/add above features with "ubuntu-rootfs" ?

Best Regards,

Hi Gnar,

Thank you for sharing this procedure. I would like to ask you: what is the purpose of the commands "sudo mount -t proc /proc ${2}proc" and the others?
It bring us some problems on the host machines.

I also faced a problem about weston. I followed your procedure, but when i try to execute weston i get this:

Hi,
This is a script to start up arm64-linux simulate environment.
You build weston in the enviroment？
I had not meet the issue. Check if there are /usr/lib/aarch64-xx libGLES, libEGL。if so, delete them.

BR,
Gnar

  Thank you Gnar, deleting those libraries worked for me.
  
  Several programs downloaded from "apt-get" (like firefox, chromium and others) try to use X11. We see that you disable xwayland during the weston compilation.
  What are the reasons for this? Do you think that having xwayland may solve the issue? Do you have any idea of how to get xwayland?
  Thank you a lot for your help.
  
  Best regards,
  Lorenzo

  Hi,
  According my setp, start simulate ARM64 enviroment on host and build weston.
  Then copy whole filesystem, not only copy weston lib.

Hi Gnar,

I used section "10.build weston" steps to build Weston in ubuntu-rootfs in qemu enviroment.
Also copying full ubuntu-rootfs to board using below steps mentioned in provided user guide.
12. replace filesystem
$ mkdir mountpoint
$ umount /dev/sdb2
$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2
$ mount /dev/sdb2 /home/gnar/mountpoint
$ cp -a /home/gnar/rootfs/ubuntu-rootfs /* /home/gnar/mountpoint/
umount /home/gnar/mountpoint
sync
But still facing same issue.

Hi Gnar Fang：
   I'm trying to port the ubuntu 18.04 to my i.mx8mq-evk,I read your document and followed,But I get two errors:
    1. Step 9,part 2: I can't find the targets "libdrm/2.4.91.imx-r0/image/*" and "imx-dpu-g2d-1.7.0/imx-dpu-g2d/1.7.0-r0/image/*" ,I'm sure that these two             target don't exist in my yocto project. I assume that the i.mx8mq-evk does not have dpu,but for libdrm,I'm not sure,So please give me a signal.
               btw, I compile with instructions:
                        DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build
                         bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx

   2.Regardless the error 1 above,I'm trying to continue with the document,but when I compile weston-imx,some errors occured:
         steps below:
               git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/weston-imx.git
               cd weston-imx
               git checkout fb563901657b296c7c7c86d26602a622429e334f
               ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-silent-rules --disable-dependency-tracking .........
               make

This is error message:

      Hi,
      1. libdrm is under buildxwayland/tmp/work/aarch64-poky-linux.
      2. The issue may be caused by your rootfs lost libdrm, copy libdrm to your rootfs.
      If you have any other question could tell me. These day have too many other case, may reply late.

        Hi Gnar Fang:
        I've found the libdrm/ under aarch64-poky-linux/, and copied it to corresponding directory which you guide in the document.
        But , I got another error when I compiled weston-imx :
        
```
         ...
         In file included from libweston/g2d-renderer.c:44:0:
         libweston/g2d-renderer.h:30:10: fatal error: g2dExt.h: No such file or directory
         #include <g2dExt.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~
         compilation terminated.
         Makefile:5107: recipe for target 'libweston/g2d_renderer_la-g2d-renderer.lo' failed
```
        There seems to be some system libraries(libweston) that are missing, or some packages that I haven't installed but that library depends on that package.
        
        I tried again to build from scratch to avoid an operational error problem, but the problem was the same on both occasions.
        
        Regards.
        Downey.

Whether you are getting same GUI?

  Hi,prashanth
  You install weston, so it show weston GUI. I think you want to get Gnome GUI, but I enable it just with CPU sotfware render (just apt-get install gnome-core). Gnome GUI with GPU render meet some mistakes.

        you can refernce the yocto script to build xwayland.
        But I am not sure if you use LXQT could use GPU, The best way,
        you should build LXQT source code with our gpu driver instead of apt-get LXQT directly.

        I use imx8md/q , it doesn't support "g2d", so just add "--disable-imxg2d" when config weston-imx with fix the issue.

      你好，
      请问您的问题解决了吗？
      我也遇到了相同的问题，我解决的方法是在内核配置的时候只让它编译出模块并不加载。系统起来之后再手动加载。但是这样会有一些依赖问题的错误log打印。虽然能解决，但是我觉得方法不是很好。
      您有更好的办法吗？

        echo -n 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
        echo -n 0 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
        fi
        
        还是会出现那个问题
        iqi@imx8mqevk:~$ dmesg | grep sdma
        [ 0.370062] imx-sdma 30bd0000.sdma: no iram assigned, using external mem

        请问您是怎么调试的呢？（我不确定是否是我的firmware.sh文件是否配置的有问题，脚本文件中的环境变量是否还需要单独配置）
        请帮忙指点一下，感谢！！！

Hi Gnar Fang,
While running the Weston tty im getting error either "No such device or directory" or "Fatal : DRM should run in background". Could you please share some guidance in this. Thanks

        Hi Gnar Fang,
        Thanks for the doc. Yes, i verified and added galcore module to auto load on startup. But unfortunately i am still not getting the desktop with the following error:

        Hi Gnar Fang,
        If i run weston --use-pixman then there is no issue with the display. This means HW acceleration is not working. This is due to the OpenGL ES driver issue or we need to enable HW acceleration during weston compilatio? Thanks

        Hi,
        The issue is look like below.
        1.warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "/run/user/1001" is not configured correctly. Unix access mode must be 0700 (current mode is 700), and must be owned by the user (current owner is UID 1001).
        2.[17:00:10.627] EGL error state: EGL_BAD_ALLOC (0x3003)
        [17:00:10.627] EGL error state: EGL_SUCCESS (0x3000)
        [17:00:10.627] failed to initialize egl
        
        You can try it.
        $ sudo su
        $ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR =/run/user/1001
        $ weston --tty=1
        
        It is sure that need to enable HW acceleration during weston compilatio. which the config parameter in build weston? same as my guide?

        Hi Gnar Fang,
        My apologies for the late reply. Yes, i did use the arguments as per the documents to build Weston/Wayland. Regarding the rUNTIME_DIR whatever the ownership/permission i change the warning message continues to exist. Thanks

        Hi , I am not sure why cause it. you can check if there are /usr/lib/aarch64-xx libGLES, libEGL。if so, delete them.

  Refere to the yocto's weston.ini file.
