Hi I am working on verdin hardware with imx8mp with Linux version 5.4.161
I tried building gputop but it seems not supported.
How do i get it on the board ?
Kindly guide.
Thanks
Hi,
Any update ?
Hi ,
I found that meta-imx is not available for dunfell , I cannot see hardkknot release available ?
In monthly release , i can see krikstone , however I could not see meta-imx there as well.
Kindly guide how i can get gputop running with any of the latest versions.
Thanks
Hi @kishan
Welcome to toradex community.
I could not find any recipe for gputop, instead, you can try profiling the GPU using the imx-tools recipe(gpuinfo.sh).
Please have a look here for more information
Hi @ashok.tx,
Cannot find gpuinfo.sh as well as gpu-viv-tools in krikstone and dunfell for imx8mp.
in layer directory
Also the provided thread talks about imx8mm
Kindly let me know which, where did you find this in the repo ?

Thanks
Hi @ashok.tx ,
Any update ?
If not can you suggest any command line or another way to check for GPU memory consumption parameters ?
Hi @kishan
Cannot find gpuinfo.sh as well as gpu-viv-tools in krikstone and dunfell for imx8mp.
in layer directory
Add IMAGE_INSTALL_append= " imx-test" in local.conf file and build new image.gpuinfo.sh can be found inside the /unit_tests/GPU/ directory.Follow this link for gpu profiling steps.
As per below conditions in gpuinfo.sh i can not see imx8mp H/W ,will this work on this SoC ?
[EDIT] - result
root@verdin-imx8mp-06849350:~# /unit_tests/GPU/gpuinfo.sh
---- Running < gpuinfo.sh > test ----
gpuinfo.sh not supported on current soc
Can you please help me mark this as priority , important or critical (any of) ?
We have spent 7 days to get just one tool on this hardware , with this speed , it will be very difficult moving further.
Kindly help expedite the process.
Hi @kishan
I quickly tested the custom image by adding imx-test and I could get the GPU profiling information.
Follow the below steps
- Add IMAGE_INSTALL_append= " imx-test" in local.conf and build custom multimedia image.
- Flash the same and set the galcore driver setting. You can also set the parameter in u-boot.
setenv tdxargs galcore.gpuProfiler=1
saveenv
You can confirm if it worked using the following command from the shell:
cat /sys/module/galcore/parameters/gpuProfiler
if you get a 1, it worked.
3. Export the following environment variables in the current session.
export VIV_PROFILE=1
export VP_OUTPUT=sample.vpd
4.Finally, you just have to run the application and the driver will create a file called sample.vpd in the running directory.
5.Download the VivanteIDE from here to analyse the GPU information.
Please refer to the i.MX_Graphics_User’s_Guide.pdf chapter 13 for more information.
Hi @kishan
The attached screenshot comes from iMX8M Plus where you can find the CPU Core is Vivante GC7000UL and GPU Utilization is 93%( glmark2-es2-wayland application based on OpenGL).
