Struggling to get hw acceleration

[dominicamann]

It seems as if hardware acceleration is a chimera here, on 3.10.17.

I have build loads of images, mucked around with opengl, mesa, viv-gpu-whatever, and I cannot get any kind of hw accel on imx6 architecture. On top of that, outside of about 3 images, there are bugs which completely prevent images from building - so it makes real experimentation very frustrating.

Has anyone, anyone at all, got HW acceleration really working on imx6qsabresd hardware?

You could try a pre-build Yocto image for mx6qsabresd.

You can find it here: FSL Community BSP

Thanks, trying those now.

For an update - the prebuilt images have so little on them that it is hard to evualate whether they are working.

I am now trying the x11 version - at least I will see any errors in xorg.log.

Ok, so now I have tested the x11 image - and I see an error

AIGLX error, and then swrast loads to provide DRI.

It looks (from where I sit) that HW rendering with DRI is not working.
