How to use fbGetDisplaybyIndex() and fbCreateWindow() in imx6 board for android 9 to access fb2 ?

[KarthikM10]

We are trying to use the functions fbGetDisplaybyIndex() and  fbCreateWindow() for openGL application in android p9.0.0_2.2.0 to access /dev/graphics/fb2.

Referring the document i.MX 6 Graphics User’s Guide

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiywqyR1JP6A... 

While building in android source we are getting undefined reference error to these functions.

We got to know that we need libraries like libEGL-fb.so, libVIVANTE-fb.so and libGAL-fb.so but these libraries are not present in the android 9 source code.

How to build those libraries for android 9 to compile and access fb2 for our openGL application on imx6 ?

Thank you in advance!

Hello KarthikM,

Android 9 does not support MX6 you should go back to android 7.

Hello,

we are currently working with android 9 on imx6qp board and it has supported, we are using the source code from

https://www.nxp.com/design/software/embedded-software/i-mx-software/android-os-for-i-mx-applications... 

We need to know that how does imx6 support for multiple display, if it's support means how to access and display the application in frame buffer 2.

Hello,

Ok, We are working on openGL application in android 9 on imx6 board , from android 6 to android 9 they removed API's like

            displayWindow=android_createDisplaySurface():

if no support for this API's or functions fbGetDisplayByIndex() and fbCreateWindow(), How do we access the frame buffer on second display.
