X-Server segmentationfault with vivante driver

wolnet — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 11:51:25 GMT

When I try to activate the vivante driver for X server on my 3.10.53 BSP

the X server crashes with a segmentation fault.

Using the framebuffer driver works well.

Backtrace in gdb shows the following callstack

(gdb) bt
#0 0xb69204dc in gcoOS_GetBaseAddress (Os=Os@entry=0x0, BaseAddress=0xbefff99c, BaseAddress@entry=0xbefff994) at gc_hal_user_os.c:1673

#3 0xb67d6a38 in ?? () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vivante_drv.so
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Did anyone of you have an idea how to fix this ?

My xorg.conf looks like this

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

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "i.MX Accelerated Framebuffer Device"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 16
EndSection

In the xorg.log I see the following line

Using GDB to find the reason for this gave me the follwoing output

Apparently you need to change your default depth to 24 or 32bpp,

args

video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,bpp=32

Thank you for your answer Bio,

but I have no parameter bpp in my command shell.

I fixed the segmentation fault by activating CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV in Kernel.

And the message (WW) VIVANTE(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument

was fixed by change the array for hfront-porch and hback-porch to a single value.

- hfront-porch = <35 160 348>;
- hback-porch = <35 160 348>;
+ hfront-porch = <160>;
+ hback-porch = <160>;

Addidtional I had to fix the GPU clocksettings in imx6dl.dtsi
