Avalonia: [OpenGL] Unable to initialize GLX-based rendering

tisis2 · June 6, 2023, 9:47am

Hi there,

currently im working on an avalonia application using the avalonia template from the apolloX extension. everytime i launch the application i get a message that glx based rendering could not be initialized. is anyone else facing that issue or having an idea what could lead to that behavior?

heres the error:

[OpenGL] Unable to initialize GLX-based rendering: 'System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'glXGetProcAddress' in shared library 'libGL.so.1'.
   at Avalonia.X11.Glx.GlxInterface.GlxGetProcAddress(Utf8Buffer buffer)

used hardware:
Colibri IMX8QXP 2GB V1.0D
Iris Carrier Board V2.0
Torizon 6.2.0-build.2

hope anyone can help

best regards

after i updated my project to the current version of the avalonia mvvm template the stack changed a bit:

Hi @tisis2 !

Could you please share the output of tdx-info (reference: Getting Device Information with Tdx-Info | Toradex Developer Center)?

Also, which exact version of ApolloX are you using?

Does this issue occur with the default template? Or have you made some changes?

Best regards,

my project differ in a way that i wanted to get my avalonia application separated from the toradex startup confiugrations. so i splitted that into two different project that are referenced

Hi @tisis2 !

Sorry for the delay.

Unfortunately, there is no GLX support.

Have you tried to use the dotnetAvaloniaFrameBuffer (DRM) template instead?

Best regards,

tisis2 · June 23, 2023, 5:26am

hi @henrique.tx

according to the datasheet, there is opengl support on the module we use:

yes, we tried the framebuffer template in the past but there we were not able to get the touch input to work and with the other template it was working. that was the reason for us to work with that template. and on the other hand, we wanted to take advantage of the 2d acceleration.

best regards
Dominik

leon.tx · June 23, 2023, 1:15pm

Hi @tisis2,

even though there is OpenGL, there is not GLX support in the drivers. Even the tests were removed some time ago piglit: Add PACKAGECONFIG for glx and opencl · Freescale/meta-freescale@1564853 · GitHub.

Moving forward, NXP has dropped support for X[1] in their latest BSP, and that change has reflected in the TorizonCore images (more information: Continued support for X11 and general road map for minimals? - #2 by rafael.tx).

Avalonia has a WIP for supporting Wayland backends, and some members of our team have been in touch with them raising this concern.

were not able to get the touch input to work and with the other template it was working

My recommendation would be to get the input to work and use that template instead. Feel free to reach out about this issue if you haven’t already.

Regards,

[1] XWayland is limited but still available.

tisis2 · June 29, 2023, 9:21am

hi,

thanks for your answer. i also tried to not use glx and use egl instead like it is set up in the avalonia template, but this will also result in init exceptions stated above. so it is not just about glx at this point if i understand it right.

according to 2D/3D Graphics Acceleration (GPU) | Toradex Developer Center i would have expected it to work since the template uses the weston container which is a wayland compositor. so in my understanding wayland should be used?

i also modified my project to use linux framebuffer. it was working in general but it seemed to be even less performant than running the application on weston without a working graphics acceleration.
i am also confused now since i saw the post here (https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/X11-support-for-iMX8-and-iMX8M/td-p/822981) where the tech support of nxp also stated frame buffer as not supported

best regards
Dominik

Hi @tisis2 ,

sorry for the delay.
We’re working on that, I’ll come back to you as soon as possible.

Best Regards
Kevin

matheus.tx · July 13, 2023, 2:14pm

Hey @tisis2

unfortunately the problem is not on our Wayland side. Avalonia does not support Wayland backend for now😓: Our own backends for X11/Wayland · Issue #1243 · AvaloniaUI/Avalonia · GitHub

So, when using Wayland the true for Avalonia is that you are using xWayland, that does not support OpengGL ES.

On the Avalonia Framebuffer template, there are two ways:

Using /dev/fbX, actually the Linux Framebuffer, that yeah, does not support hardware acceleration: https://github.com/toradex/vscode-torizon-templates/blob/3db2727b620c2070daa42724287c397045c7af38/dotnetAvaloniaFrameBuffer/Program.cs#L24C69-L24C69
And the /dev/dri/cardX, DRM (directly rendering manager), that uses directly the GPU and supports OpenGL ES: https://github.com/toradex/vscode-torizon-templates/blob/3db2727b620c2070daa42724287c397045c7af38/dotnetAvaloniaFrameBuffer/Program.cs#L27

So, make sure you are using DRM mode, if you are not already. And, if you are already using it let me know, because that’s the mode we’ve tested with the best performance, and we have to look into it if you’re having issues.

Best Regards,
