Weston orientation

Colibri iMX6DL
with Viola Carrier Board Rev 1.2
TorizonCore 5.7.2

Hi,
We have 240x320 18bpp LCD display.
Running the example Weston docker container, we can see the following image on the screen…

The /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini has been updated to…

[core]
idle-time=0
require-input=false
xwayland=true
modules=screen-share.so
# uncomment line below to use kiosk shell
#shell=kiosk-shell.so

[shell]
background-image=
background-color=0x00000000
panel-position=none
locking=false
allow-zap=false
num-workspaces=1

[keyboard]
vt-switching=false

# uncomment the [output] line below if you set any output configuration
[output]
# you must uncomment the "name” line and provide the name of the output interface being customized, otherwise, changes will not apply
name=DPI-1
# uncomment line below to configure screen rotation/flipping
transform=rotate-270
# uncomment line below to redirect the output; supported by kiosk shell
#mode=off
# uncomment line below to set an output resolution. Run for example 'cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/modes' to list the available modes.
mode=240x320@69.1
# or use the more detailed (mode=dotclock hdisp hsyncstart hsyncend htotal vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal hflag vflag)
#mode=146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
# uncomment line below to make this output a clone of another
#same-as=DPI-1

#For multi-display support and other configurations, please read the article: https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/working-with-weston-on-torizoncore

Is there something we can check to see if the rotation is not getting applied?

Cheers Jon

Hello @jon2023 ,
Seems that the configuration in /etc/xdg/weston is not applied, and instead of that, the /etc/xdg/weston-dev configuration is applied.
You can see it in the Weston logs that you shared in this other topic:

Error with weston.ini

Hi there, Hardware: Colibri iMX6DL with Viola Carrier Board Rev 1.2 TorizonCore 5.7.2 [image] We have noticed a couple of errors that are reported from the “$ docker logs weston” command… Is this something we need to look into? [image]

Best regards,
Josep

Hi Josep,

Thanks for the update, much appreciated.

I’ve just check the /etc/xdg/weston-dev/weston.ini file, and we did a copy and paste from /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini file and trimmed it down to make it easier to read…

We’ve tried a couple of different rotation, i.e.rotate-90, rotate-270 and also tried changing the background-color to see if that made any difference.

Let me know if there’s something we can try out

Cheers Jon

Hello @jon2023 ,
Here is my test (with Torizon OS 6.4)

My screen for the tests was the 7" capacitive touch display parallel

Thanks Josep,

I’ll try it with including the additional volume bind mount…

/etc/xdg/weston

Thanks for looking into it.
Cheers Jon

Hello @jon2023

/etc/xdg/weston

Please keep us updated on your test results

Hi Josep,

I’ve followed the steps above (upto step 3). But not sure what I need to do for step 4 (the /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml)

The details are listed below…

Step 1 - Check the available modes of the screen:
$ dir /sys/class/drm

Step 2 – Check the supported modes
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card1-DPI-1/modes

Step3 – Check the contents of weston.ini
$ cat /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini

And $ cat /etc/xdg/weston-dev/weston.ini

Step 4 – Check the contents of $ cat /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml

Looks like the “torizon” user doesn’t have permission to access the docker-compose.yml file

NOTE: *** Not sure how to access/make changes at this point ***

Step 5- Reboot the torizon device

Not sure how to “…executed bash in the Weston container and ran weston-event ”, so tried running the follow steps to see if there is any change to the rotation…

Step 6

$ docker run -d --rm --name=weston --net=host --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ --device-cgroup-rule=‘c 4:* rmw’ --device-cgroup-rule=‘c 13:* rmw’ --device-cgroup-rule=‘c 199:* rmw’ --device-cgroup-rule=‘c 226:* rmw’ torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON --developer weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon

Step 7
$ docker run -d --rm --name=wayland-app -v /dev/dri:/dev/dri -v /tmp:/tmp --device-cgroup-rule=‘c 226:* rmw’ torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON weston-terminal

Step 8
$ docker ps

Step 9
$ docker exec -it weston bash

Step 10
root@colibri-imx6-11096746:/home/torizon# weston

…

root@colibri-imx6-11096746:/home/torizon# weston-info

…

Can see in the above details that the width & height settings don’t seem to be rotated.

If you can explain what I need to do for step 4, I can then try and follow it up and see if it updates

Cheers Jon

Hello @jon2023

I’ve followed the steps above (upto step 3). But not sure what I need to do for step 4 (the /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml)

You can run the command with sudo, to gain access to the file.
sudo cat /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml

Hi Josep,

Thanks for the details.
I’ve managed to update the /var/sota/storage/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml to include the additional volumes.
Then tried running the (github) weston container, but the rotate-270 setting didn’t work.

After check the (container) weston.ini file…

It looks like it get overridden by the (github) weston container file from https://github.com/toradex/debian-docker-images/blob/buster/weston/weston.ini

Which seems to be confirmed from the posting…

How to rotate weston in torizon core

Hello, I have installed torizon core to test quickly the web browser feature because I wasn’t able to compile it easily with tdx-reference-multimedia-image ( nor meta-browser, neither qtwebengine-examples compile without error ) I was able to fix timing parameter of the LCD by installing custom DTBO with right timings , but how to rotate weston because weston is executed as a docker container , and the file /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini does not exist. I was able to rotate by modifying the foll…

I’ll keep looking into it.
Is it possible to copy a local weston.ini file (via Docker-compose.yml, Dockerfile/Dockerfile.debug) into the container? (if that’s the correct terminology)

Cheers Jon

[jon2023]

I quick update,

I can see a couple of lines in the example Dockerfile…

COPY weston.ini /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
COPY weston-dev.ini /etc/xdg/weston-dev/weston.ini

I’ll try this, and see what happens

Hi Josep,

Following the steps below…
$ docker ps
$ docker exec -it torizon-weston-1 bash
/home/torizon# weston
/home/torizon# weston-eventdemo

I can see the same results with the correct orientation…

I think I need to look into how/if this is the same technique used for an Avalonia application, but I think that would be a different question, so I can close this now

Cheers Jon
