Dear Expert,

I have referred the two links

Link 2) is showing Access denied, Even though i have logged in.

Link1) is describing the method using  fb0 & fb1 frame buffer.

Current I.MX8QM BSP , We could able to do open gl programming  using Wayland frame work context Only. There is no direct egl  option available. 

Q 1) I have tried with Open GL programming with egl Context api , it is NOT working. Pls comment on this for i.MX8QM yocto BSPs

Q2) Can i use 

err = ioctl(fd_fb,MXCFB_SET_CLR_KEY,&c); On top of Wayland frame work? , or It need egl context only

Regards

Hello Ramesh,

You can use alpha blending:

Dear Bio_TICFS

Pls provide the pragmatic solution for the struggle.

We are trying many methods .

Due to fundamental egl api [FB] is not properly working in IMX8QM , it not possible to thinks of i.mx8qm as Open GL enabled Device.

Pls address this issue with concern driver developer  team in NXP.

Dear BIO_TICFSL

Any update / suggestion When to enable the Alpha blending? i.MX8QM

Here, We have left only with Wayland fame work to create  window for Open GL E.S app development.

So , egl Window  api is not working.

Which windowing API is used to enable alpha blending for video overlaying.

Ramesh
