篇首语:本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理,主要介绍了参考论坛:Mali kernel driver TX011-SW-99002-r5p1-00rel0 for firefly相关的知识,希望对你有一定的参考价值。

最近手头有一块firefly_rk3288_reload的开发板,想实现在linux 下用openGL ES来做视频显示。

找到opengGL相关移植,参考论坛(http://bbs.t-firefly.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=321&extra=page%253D2)的方法,进行移植。

方法:

Test OpenGL ES Linux support on Firefly-RK3288 Development Board
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Introduction
────────────

Firefly-RK3288 development board is equipped with the powerful Mali
T764 GPU. Lately, ARM has released the binary user-space fbdev
driver. We, the Firefly team, have taken a first stab at it.

Environment:
- Firefly-RK3288 development board with latest dual boot firmware
installed.
- 64 bit Ubuntu Linux (12.04 or later) host pc.


Kernel
──────

First, we need to update the mali kernel driver.

Download Linux kernel driver TX041-SW-99002-r5p1-00rel0.tgz in
[http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/drivers/open-source-mali-t6xx-gpu-kernel-device-drivers/]
(note:这个是arm官方针对这款gpu驱动发布的官方驱动)


The porting process involves: replace the old driver files with new
ones, apply the kds patch, fix the compiling errors and update the
config file.

To make life easier, we‘ve packaged all the files into
firefly-mali-driver-TX011-SW-99002-r5p1-00rel0.tar.gz .
(note:实际上我们只需要下载firefly-mali-driver-TX011-SW-99002-r5p1-00rel0.tar.gz 这个驱动文件就可以了。)


╭────
│ cd /path/to/your/firefly/sdk
│ ls kernel  # kernel directory should be here
│ tar xzf /path/to/firefly-mali-driver-TX011-SW-99002-r5p1-00rel0.tar.gz
╰────

Then compile it:
╭────
│ cd kernel
│ make firefly-rk3288-linux_defconfig
│ make -j8 firefly-rk3288.img
│ make modules
╰────

(note:上面这步的时候,需要自己重新配置一下kernel,不能使用默认的驱动配置,否则会出现两种情况:

  1)  undefined reference to `kds_waitall‘

    添加CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER关联选项就OK

  2) 在openGL sdk demo运行的时候出现:

     Error: eglGetError(): 12289 (0x3001)

    Error: Failed to initialize EGL at ../../../../samples/opengles_30/skybox/EGLRuntime.cpp:243

  同时内核会打印:

    :Platform data not specified

  查看kernel源码,找到相应配置,添加:MALI_PLATFORM_FAKE 配置。

)

 


The compiled mali module is located at drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/. Copy
mali_kbase.ko to your board:
╭────
│ scp drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/mali_kbase.ko [email protected]_IP:/system/lib/modules/
╰────

(Why `/system/lib/modules/‘ ? Just because /etc/rc.local willl insmod
it automatically.)

Then follow the steps described in
[http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/Build_kernel/en] ,
to pack zImage and initrd to linux-boot.img .

Flash linux-boot.img to recovery partition of the board.


User-space drivers
──────────────────

Download mali-t76x_r5p0-06rel0_linux_1+fbdev.tar.gz in:
[http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/features/mali-t6xx-gpu-user-space-drivers/]

Then install it to the board:
╭────
│ cat /path/to/mali-t76x_r5p0-06rel0_linux_1+fbdev.tar.gz \
│    | ssh [email protected]_IP tar --strip-components=1 -xzf - -C /usr/lib
╰────


Compile Mali OpenGL ES SDK demos
────────────────────────────────

Download Mali_OpenGL_ES_SDK_v2.4.4.71fdbd_Linux_x64.tar.gz in
[http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/sdks/opengl-es-sdk-for-linux/]

Please choose Linux X64 archive.

To build the SDK demos, you need a cross compile toolchain. If you
have not installed yet, try this linaro toolchain:
[http://releases.linaro.org/14.09/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.xz]
(Extract it to /opt)

You also need to install cmake (sudo apt-get install cmake).

╭────
│ tar xzf /path/to/Mali_OpenGL_ES_SDK_v2.4.4.71fdbd_Linux_x64.tar.gz
│ cd Mali_OpenGL_ES_SDK_v2.4.4
│ mkdir build-arm
│ cd build-arm
│ export TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
│ cmake -DTARGET=arm .. 
│ make install
│ cd ..
│ # bin_arm contains all the result files
│ scp -r bin_arm [email protected]_IP:/root
╰────


Set 32bit framebuffer
─────────────────────

Before running demos, the fbdev should be in 32 bit mode.

Run following commands on the board:
╭────
│ sudo -s
│ cat << EOF >/etc/init/fbset.conf
│ # fbset - run fbset to set truecolor fbmo
│ description "run fbset before lightdm"
│ start on startup and started udev or starting lightdm
│ task
│ script
│     [ -x /bin/fbset ] && /bin/fbset -a -nonstd 1 -depth 32 -rgba "8/0,8/8,8/16,8/24"
│ end script
│ EOF
│ cat << EOF >/etc/X11/xorg.conf
│ Section "Screen"
│     Identifier "Default Screen"
│     DefaultDepth 24
│ EndSection
│ EOF
╰────

Then reboot the device.


Run demos
─────────

Before running demos, make sure you have:
1. Flashed the new Linux kernel.
2. Updated mali_kbase.ko
3. Installed Mali user drivers
4. Uploaded Mali demos
5. Configured 32bit framebuffer

Then open a terminal, run one of the demo:
╭────
│ sudo -i
│ cd bin_arm/opengles_30/skybox
│ ./skybox
╰────

Enjoy!

在设置32bit位深以后,输出的显示效果不好,花屏的问题,等我接下来解决了跟大家分享。
