I downloaded mali graphics debugger v2.0 for win7 32bit, but i can't capture any data after setting up host and target following the MGD user guide, what should i do?

Hi Yangw,

I see there is a crash in your report. Our team has been investigating that for the last week and we believe we have a patch that fixes it.

We are going to release it soon, I will update this post as soon as it is available.

Thank you for your patience,

Lorenzo

Thanks very much for your reply, and I am looking forward to the release.Thank you all!

There is one idea, you could create a symlink from /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so to /system/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so as that would probably allow mgd to pick up the driver untested but on paper might work.

Cheers,

I had tried this yesterday, still crash, no luck.

Hi, Chris! I have tried new Mali Graphics Debugger v2.0.1 and has the same issue (Samsung Galaxy Note (Mali-400) + Android 4.2.2 (Cyanogenmod)).

I've also tried to make symlink from /system/lib/egl to /vendor/lib/egl. The problem is /system/lib/egl doesn't contain any libGLES_mali.so but contains libEGL_mali.so, libGLES_android.so, libGLESv1_CM_mali.so and libGLESv2_mali.so. I've tried to map all available *.so to /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so, but the result the same (black screen and huge log with functions which are not discovered). Best result was achieved with libGLES_android.so (corrupted picture and only one function not found). Is there any possibilities to make it work for my configuration.

Same exact crash? Maybe the symlink needs chmod 644 also in that case? In any case there are fixes in the works

I was going to suggest making 3 separate symlinks, from /vendor/lib/egl to /system/lib/egl, but due to the above bug there's no way to support fragmented builds at present (EGL will only look for /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so, and symlinking that to libEGL.so would break GLESv1 and v2). There is a fix incoming though which will resolve this, and it should "just work" by following the install guide.

We have now released MGD v2.0.2 which should resolve this issue (Mali Graphics Debugger - Mali Developer Center Mali Developer Center). Please give it a go and let us know.

Be aware that there is still a known issue where the "frame capture" feature will not work on devices with non-monolithic drives (like yours) but tracing and the other features should work fine.
