iMX8MP wayland extended display mode

zb2020 — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 16:24:32 GMT

I'm using iMX8MP EVK with Yocto Kirkstone (wayland) platform to drive two displays (HDMI+LVDS0). The wayland runs in extended desktop mode. Both display interfaces are working, the wayland toolbar is visible on both displays.

How can I auto launch an application programmatically on the secondary display? The apps launched from command line always are displayed on the first display.

Hi @zb2020 ,

I hope you're doing great. What BSP version are you using? Thank you.

Best regards,
Hector.

Hi @zb2020 ,

I hope you're doing great. As far as I know, this feature is not supported with our BSP, but let me double check with our team to confirm this or if there is another way to achieve this.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Hector.

Hi @zb2020 ,

I hope you're doing well. I don't think this can be done with Wayland, but there may be some configurations in U-boot to allow this, I'll research this further.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Hector

Hi @zb2020 ,

I hope you're doing great and sorry for the late response. After further review with our team we got to the conclusion that this wouldn't be possible through Wayland Weston or U-Boot. This las option can only define the default display for all applications and unfortunately can't be software specific. To achieve what you're trying to do, it must be done through the application's code (so it'd be app specific). Thank you.

Best regards,
Hector.
