Im trying to build a framework using OpenGL|ES 3.0 and EGL 1.5 with an ARM Mali T-600 series chip. The ARM Mali EGL/GLES sdk states that the system supports gles 3.0 and over though their fbdev driver (x11 doesnt work apparently).
However, despite everything compiling and linking fine, when I call eglGetDisplay(EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY), it returns EGL_NO_DISPLAY as opposed to the expected /dev/fb0 framebuffer. Is there an issue with the fbdev drivers or are there preliminary steps to set up the framebuffer that I'm missing?
eglGetDisplay(EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY)
EGL_NO_DISPLAY
/dev/fb0 framebuffer
More specifically I am building on a samsung chromebook with the Mali-T604 running ubuntu. The fbdev drivers are up to date with the latest release on the Mali sdk website.
Hi peachy,
There is a guide documenting how to get Mali with a Linux Ubuntu system on the original Samsung Chromebook here: Linux on Chromebook with ARM® Mali™ GPU
This also includes support for fbdev as well as x11.
Please let us know if this does not help resolve your problem.
Note: Please post future Mali related questions in the ARM Mali Graphics group, as we monitor that much more closely and would have had a reply sooner for you in that case.
Kind Regards,
Michael McGeagh
Let me move that from the member profile to ARM Mali Graphics for you. I missed it!
