How to run Weston on IMX8 - imx8mqevk with Pixman and Virtio-GPU.

[contributor3]

I have built fsl-image-validation-imx  version imx-linux-thud with the manifest file imx-4.19.35-1.0.0.xml

I would like to run on Weston using the Virtio-GPU and Pixman renderer. 

I tried to run Weston as below- 

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0
chmod 0700 /run/user/0

weston --tty=7 --use-pixman

I got error [ 1] Failed to open device: No such file or directory, Try again...

I am not sure which device it's trying to open. 

Note that the /dev/dri/card0 is available.

has anyone faced this issue?

my /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini file :

[core]
repaint-window=34

Hello Sami,

Haven't tested on the imx8quadmax, but refer to the 4.19.35 release note, agl image is supported by imx6 and imx8qx auto board only.
