Wayland with freeRDP for screenshare on i.mx93

[jcase]

Hello,

I am trying to get remote desktop access setup via freeRDP on the i.MX93evk. I've been following this other post as a reference (https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX8DXL-screen-share-to-PC-by-using-Fre...)

I recently built the following yocto image using langdale6.1.1 manifest so the latest kernal.

• "DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx93evk source imx-setup-release.sh -b imx93Wayland"
• bitbake imx-image-full

and updated the local.conf file to include freeRDP prior to building. 

• LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED+="commercial"
• IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " freerdp"

I have verified my board has the freeRDP package installed (dpgk -s freerdp). When the evk boots up, I have a few errors with Weston. See below.

When I try to run Weston from root I also receive errors:

Not sure if this is the cause, but do I have to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR? If so, how do I do that?

Regarding the wayland back-end, is this a separate package I have to include in yocto or how can I get this to work?

I've read forums on how to solve both but cannot make any progress. Any help would be appreciated!

Additionally - I'm not restricted to using Wayland, I can also build Xwayland however I tried to incorporate freeRDP there and would not work with yocto... If there is another package you'd recommend please let me know.

Thanks!
