Hi,
I have deployed Linux (based on IMX Yocto Project LF6.1.55_2.2.0) on a custom iMX93 board. A MIPI (4 lanes) LCD Display is connected to the board. I am using a custom DTS with the kernel. The panel driver has been updated with manufacturer's provided initialization code and timing settings have been addressed. The panel shows the correct testing bar image when running the following modetest command:
modetest -M imx-drm -D 1 -a -s 35@33:800x1280 -P 31@33:800x1280
Weston, however, doesn't start with 'use-g2d=true' (weston.ini).
With 'use-g2d' disabled, weston will start, however all the windows will render very slow on the display panel. When I test with '/usr/bin/weston-simple-egl', it reports ~8 fps, instead of ~60 fps (as I would expect when using g2d).
Here is the extract from the weston.log with g2d related errors:

I am running an imx-image-multimedia that was built with fsl-imx-wayland distro for iMX93 MCU.
It seems like the following call fails within g2d-renderer.c :
if(g2d_open(&gr->handle))
{
weston_log("g2d_open fail.\n");
return -1;
}
Any idea why weston crashes at start when trying to open a g2d handle ? Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Any input appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Make sure the pixel pipleline is enabled in the device tree.
