Running kmscube as init

[michael_kainz]

Hello!

I'm currently trying to optimize boottime of the IMX8MQ-EVK.

For this i wanted to use kmscube on a monitor connected with HDMI as an example application to replace init.

So far i have a bashscript which executes instead of init and launches kmscube (and after that init).

But when kmscube should execute  it prints 

could not open drm device
failed to initialize legacy DRM

I tried to give it other devices from /dev/dri but with the same outcome.

So i thought about "attaching" the monitor before executing the script.

Unfortunately i have no idea how to do that.

Any ideas?

Hi Michael,

You can since drm/kms is from linux kernel , not from weston

You need to change the framebuffer lib to hook up to frame buffer display. . export LD_PRELOAD=libVDK-framebuffer.so. libVDK.so is linked to libVDK-wayland.so by default. 

I just tried.  kmscube runs ok after killall weston and export LD_PRELOAD=libVDK-framebuffer.so

kmscube runs also without the export once weston is killed but Qt still doesn't, it needs an eglfs QT_QPA_PLATFORM and changing the qtbase recipe was not enough.

Regards

Thanks for the answer!
I used the core-image-minimal and didn't add libvdk-imx at first. So weston isn't even included in the image.

Now that does solve the issue i submitted but it still doesn't work.

It seems like kmscube gets interrupted or cant work.

Any more ideas?

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Starting needed programm"
export LD_PRELOAD=libVDK-framebuffer.so
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
exec /usr/bin/kmscube -D /dev/dri/card0 &
exec /sbin/init

Here is the bootlog. At "Starting needed programm" my script gets called.
