Permanent calibration problem on weston

[Ahmet_Cihan_AKINCA]

Hi.

I have an imx7d board running with a yocto-built imx-linux-zeus version operating system (with weston implementation of wayland). Everything's working fine except for touchscreen calibration. I can calibrate touchscreen via weston-touch-calibrator application without any problem. However, after reboot touch screen calibration reverts to the default calibration values. I couldn't find any calibration matrix on the user space. How can I make the calibration permanent?

I appreciate any help you can provide..

Hello ahmetcihan,

You need to be in kernel mode and modified the weston.ini, this will be done one time.

idle-time=0

require-input=false

xwayland=true

[libinput]

touchscreen_calibrator=true

calibration_helper=/usr/bin/save-calibration.sh

[shell]

panel-position=top

locking=false

allow-zap=true

num-workspaces=1

Thank you. It's working now. In addition, my save-calibration.sh file is as;

#!/bin/bash 

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*",

ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}=="1",

ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="'$2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7'"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/touchscreen.rules

Hi @Ahmet_Cihan_AKINCA,

I want to save touch-panel calibration permanently. I used weston-touch-calibrator, It calibers touch panel but does not save calibration after weston restart or reboot. I followed your post but no success. My weston.ini, save-calibration.sh as follows.

Weston.ini as follow.

Please provide a lead.

Hi Ajita.

Are you sure that ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}=="1" for your system? When you calibrate your system, are you sure it's working before reboot? You can check this with some faulty calibration.

[ajita02]

Hi @Ahmet_Cihan_AKINCA,

I able to save calibration permanently. There were multiple stale calibration entries in '/etc/udev/rules.d/touchscreen.rules' file which was causing incorrect calibration after restart. Rules file should contain single fresh entry of calibration.

Thanks for your post. It helped me!

Ajita

Hi @ajita02 @Ahmet_Cihan_AKINCA 

I am also working on weston.

I can able to integrate the weston utility in my yocto but when I run, I get the below Error.

root@imx53qsb:~# weston-touch-calibrator

when I run weston , I get below errors

Hi @syedr1 ,

I do get same log for `weston` command. but for `weston-touch-calibrator` I get below output.

**********************************************************************************

 root@imx8mmevk:~# weston-touch-calibrator
could not load cursor 'dnd-move'
could not load cursor 'dnd-copy'
could not load cursor 'dnd-none'
device "/sys/devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:bus@30800000/30a40000.i2c/i2c-2/2-001a/input/input1/event1" - head "DSI-1"

************************************************************************************

as my display touch panel is connected over MIPI-DSI. By observing your log, it seems your display panel is not correctly initialized with weston.

You can test few things:

1. While booting whether you able to see boot up penguins on display.
2. Whether you able to get touch co-ordinates on evtest,
ex. root@imx8mmevk:~# evtest /dev/input/event1
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x18 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0
Input device name: "hyn_ts"
....
3. Check if you have build yocto image with `xwayland`, mine was `fsl-imx-xwayland`. It contains support of x11 and weston.

I hope these things will give you lead.

Thanks,

Ajita

Hi @ajita02 

Thanks for the reply.

I have verified touch with cat /dev/input/event0 and I see touch interrupts are happening whenever I touch it.

Regrading Display, I can see our custom images loading during boot.

root@imx53qsb:~# cat /sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/device/card1-LVDS-1/uevent 
DEVTYPE=drm_connector
root@imx53qsb:~# cat /sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/modes 
1024x768

my distro is poky.

Is there a way to initialize display panel with Weston,Please suggest

[ajita02]

Hi @syedr1 ,

what is your output of `cat /sys/class/drm/card1-DSI-1/device/card1-DSI-1/status`? also can you see frame buffer created?
`ls /dev/fb*`

[syedr1]

Hi @ajita02 

It is connected.

root@imx53qsb:~# cat /sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/device/card1-LVDS-1/status

[ajita02]

@syedr1 , Can you share your /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini file?

[syedr1]

Hi @ajita02 

Please find the attached weston.ini file.

[ajita02]

Hi @syedr1 , I have attached my weston.ini. PTAL. In your weston.ini few fields are commented. Such as #[output], #[libinput], #[shell]. can you make changes according to my weston.ini and restart the weston, ` systemctl restart weston@root` ?  also `LVDS1` should be `LVDS-1`, I guess.

Hi @ajita02 

Tried with you weston.ini , Issue is still same.

[ajita02]

also `LVDS1` should be `LVDS-1`, I guess. --> still issue persist?

[syedr1]

Hi @ajita02 

After changing to LVDS-1 also issue persist.

Below is my env information and display is not listed.

Any thing missing if compared with your env data.

I am running out of ideas. NXP guys should give you further lead.

Hi @ajita02 

Thanks for the support.
