This variant contains various optimizations for i.MX processors.
For instance, on i.MX6/7 devices with GPU, the gl-renderer needs to be
enabled for the fbdev-backend which was removed from upstream weston
long time ago.
Also, weston-imx adds support for G2D which is enabled by default, this
patch makes sure to disable it when imx-gpu-g2d isn't selected.
The tag version rel_imx_4.9.51_8mq_ga proved to work fine on both
i.MX6Q/DL and i.MX8MQ processors.
Here are the commands used to start weston on i.MX6Q:
- Using 3D GPU (gl-renderer):
# weston --tty=1 --device=/dev/fb0
- Using 2D GPU (G2D):
# weston --tty=1 --device=/dev/fb0 --use-g2d=1
