Weston RDP backend not working on iMX93

scosta_elcoelettronica — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 12:37:27 GMT

Hi,
I'm testing an iMX93 based SOM running Yocto Kirkstone - Linux v5.15.71_2.2.0.
I've compiled myself a full image including XWayland and Qt 6 (fsl-image-qt6).

Weston seems to work well, but I am unable to share the screen via the RDP backend. When I activate screen sharing, I can connect to the board via Windows RDP client, but all I get is a scrambled, mostly black image:

Furthermore, the cursor in the main screen is moving very slowly.

Is there any way to make this work on iMX93?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano Costa

P.S.: please find attached my "weston.ini" file

Hello,

You must try the latest BSP that works with the MX93 and Weston, please check it:

Hi,

I've finally managed to test Weston's RDP backend on the latest BSP (Yocto Langdale, Linux 6.1.1, Weston 11.0.1), but the result is the same:

NOTE: in order to be able to test this, I had to:

enable the building of the RDP backend in "weston_11.0.1.imx.bb" (see attachment "weston-enable-RDP-backend.patch")
enable the building of the server library in "freerdp_2.8.1.bb" (see attachment "freerdp-build-server-library.patch")

Any suggestion is highly appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Stefano

I am having the same issue with Scarthgap on the i.MX93.

I can get RDP to work properly only if I disable use-g2d in the weston.ini. Is there a way to enable RDP with Weston while still using the g2d renderer?

The behavior works as expected when using the 6.6.36 kernel.
