Hi Bachmann

Thank you very much for your reply.

I got it.I do not have DRM driver for GPU.

Sorry,i have another question for help.

Is there any informations that explain DRM driver and GPU driver relationship for weston?

I want to study architecture of DRM/GPU/Weston。

Best regards.

Hi Andy,

It looks like Weston is trying to use its DRM backend (which is the default) to initialize the GPU, but is not finding the device or driver. You can verify this by doing "$ ls /dev/dri/". If the folder is empty, or does not exist, it means you do not have a DRM driver for your GPU.


If your GPU has framebuffer support, you can try this as root :
$ weston --backend=fbdev-backend.so

More generally, ARM boards support is tricky, because their GPUs have specific and sometimes closed drivers. Raspberry PI is a notable exception (for the support).


Regards.

I investigation weston source code and find that it seems to fail to find gup device.


1.In order to setup wayland/weston in arm device,is there any necessary thing to be done?

2.Is there any requirement for Hardware / Drivers?

3.Is DRM  must for weston(compositor),how to setup DRM?


4.In order to run weston-launch,do i have to use gpu?
