OpenCPN on Raspberry PI2

[nohal]

Matt...
I suppose you don't have libgles1-mesa-dev installed and thus the acceleration support is not built at all.

Have you not been able to use our .deb file? (shared as a zip on our site) and it didn't work for you? We uploaded the .deb file to share with all before we went in to literally tear it all up again on the new RPI2 to get to hardware acceleration.

We've started the process of changing libraries to see if we can get OpenCPN run on hardware acceleration right now (rather than software) ... we're not now live with OpenCPN as we go through this second process.

We'll be back working on this over the weekend.

Also we're trying to get it to use the Raspberry Pi static gles libraries that are in Jessie. Errors with multiple definitions so need to track down where they are and remove/change.

I didn't try the *.deb file, I'm trying to put together the recipe to build from source.

The primary reason is that OpenCPN is under active development and within a few weeks any compiled package will be out of date. Even as it stands today, your deb file is version 4.1.630 and yesterday I compiled 4.1.705.

But all that being said, I will try it this afternoon.

Looking at Ubuntu – File list of package libgles2-mesa-dev/precise/amd64 I don't think we could ever identify it as v1 in https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/b...Lists.txt#L290, we simply don't find it at all. Do we want to find it? Reading the code I don't think we can currently build against GLESv2 successfully.

I must be missing something.

Even the *.deb file provided by @Schooner Chandlery runs at 1FPS or slower once OpenGL is enabled.

Not sure of a good way to compare installations. Sorry if this is a useless dump of information. Anything else I could provide?

The way it is now is not right. We need to try and get it right, yes. We'll be digging at this over the weekend so stay tuned

Matt--interesting that you're getting opposite results of ours. We could not obtain utility with OpenCPN w/o OpenGL (OpenGL ES) enabled. Within in a window, it was 4-5 fps, when fullscreen w/o other hoggy processing running we had 20 fps.

After the weekend, we'll share where we are. We do have so many packages already installed on the RPI that we use for other things...there may be some small thing that makes a big difference. Stay tuned. We do think this is a very functional OpenCPN platform--we're rarely excited about anything OpenCPN related, but this is something we're pretty excited by.

More later, Brenda

[Schooner Chandlery]

note--the above post--20fps is in GLXGears full frame not OpenCPN.

Not really.

OpenCPN uses GLESv1. It currently doesn't use GLESv2, but at some point in the future I would like to use it instead since I dont know of any hardware which we can use that supports v1 and not v2. The problem is they are not backward compatible so to switch to v2 means glshim has to do a bit more work.

As for finding v1 when only v2 is there, this is probably because you also have v1 and v2. Check the cmake rules for this. Also keep in mind the software rasterizer probably provides opengl as well as opengles, and this is what you were using before (software opengles) which is even slower than using software opengl (if you want to know exactly why I can explain)

Also we're trying to get it to use the Raspberry Pi static gles libraries that are in Jessie. Errors with multiple definitions so need to track down where they are and remove/change.

You can't use static gles, it must be dynamic. OpenCPN does not link with the opengles libraries at compile time. glshim must use dlopen to remap the symbols because the names conflict.

You must ensure it finds the _right_ openglesv1, ie: not the software one This is determined by the environment, and you can switch the libraries without recompiling opencpn. In the future I plan to extend this support to regular opengl, so that users on say windows can select a software driver (if their driver is really buggy) Already in linux we can set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, but this also uses _some_ acceleration in some cases, so a third completely software option could be useful as well.

Also, if you are using the broadcom drivers (closed source) you will need to enable the BCMHOST variable in cmake like "cmake -DBCMHOST=1" Then in theory it should work but all subwindow (toolbar etc) will be hidden (but you can still click on the tools, they will just be invisible)

Now, maybe you can get the opensource driver working (I have no experience with) and so the situation maybe is different then. It would be interesting to compare performance.

Sean....

When I get a bit of airtime here, I intend to try to move the RPI-2 port over to wxQT, then maybe Wayland as a backend compositor. This will give us normal screen compositing for dialogs and such. I've got the hardware, just not the time....

Otherwise, we will have trouble doing simple dialogs from full screen mode, since the GL drivers for most ARM chips don't even try to use an X11 backend.

I think Wayland is a huge can of worms now, with not a lot of real dev activity focused on releasable images. But it is a way forward with a future, maybe... Qt can help.

Ideas?

From what you're writing and other bits we're picking up about OpenCPN, I can begin to see why OpenCPN is having a hard time getting into the Debian distribution.

This is Brenda writing, not David. David's the linux guy and software dev. I'm the soul who is interested in helping OpenCPN in use on the RPI.

Funny that bdbcat (Dave) is writing about Qt since that's the matter David's looking at for our other RPI-based onboat system software. We have used Qt (v4) for our boat instruments, wx, anchor watch and so forth on the old Pi. The new RPI2 using Jessie isn't compatible with v4 of Qt instead it's v5 we need to use--v5 uses Wayland whereas v4 had built in libs. We use some things that are only available in v4 (our compass rose, etc) and David's now looking at getting everything over to v5. Our boat systems monitoring is pretty important to us and right now we keep two Pi up and running (old and new) while we'd like to have all on the new RPI2. So, onwards with that next. This is yet more RPI that doesn't belong in OpenCPN thread...sorry about that bit.

I don't have the hardware yet (hopefully soon) and the internet is so slow here it's really difficult to try to do something like this.

I know opencpn has been made to work before on wayland with hardware accelerated opengl using gtk3 (which supports wayland) way back in 2012) so this is yet another option and it probably already works with very little effort.

As for using wxQT, it's also possible, and probably a viable option.

I am not sure what the drivers for the rpiv2 can do in wayland. I haven't gotten to try the open source driver yet. The broadcom drivers can only work fullscreen in X.

This problem can be easily solved by rendering offscreen (fbo I believe would work) and then using something like glReadPixels to copy the result into an x window. Since video memory is ram already it's not terribly slow, just an extra copy which isn't a huge deal just an unfortunate consequence of the driver. Apparently this method works with multiple opengl applications each in different windows.

I can see many possible solutions, maybe I can investigate a few of them when I reach mauritius.

Alasdair,

Is there any reason why you are going to use wayland. Why not start with a desktop install like Mate that will allow other stuff like LibreOffice which runs great on the Pi2. The OS is debian Jessie.

Our ideal is to have the Rpi2 fulfil multi roles for us. We want a full supported desktop with OpenCPN ZyGrib LibreOffice Kodi etc.

We have ZyGrib LibreOffice and almost Kodi (black screen bug). We have OpenCPN running in software mode and just used it for a 300 mile trip the issues we had were due to the prolific USB to Serial adaptor and power issues. Having replaced the adaptor with a different chipset it is a much better experience with no serial dropouts etc. And installed an dedicated DC12v to DC5v 25W regulator no more power issues on the PI2.

All that is missing is the Acceleration and we have an awesome desktop and navigation computer.

Just my 2 penneth I am sure I am missing things!

Cheers
Spart

[bdbcat]

Spart...

The issue is the GL drivers.
The current crop do not support an X11 backend, so normal desktops like lxde, etc. just won't support OCPN with onscreen dialogs and such. They will only support full screen (immersive) GL output to the HDMI port.

It appears as though the RPI2 drivers will support Wayland, so we can use this to get a composited desktop for OCPN. Maybe...

All this is theoretical at this point. We want to make the best initial choice in order to maximize our limited dev resources.

Thanks
Dave

[sparticle]

Dave,

Thanks, like I said I am sure I am missing some understanding. I can compile etc. But as for what is going on I'll leave it to the experts.

It just feels like we're so close on the Pi2 It's a very capable computer. It runs Mate really well and feels like a real grown up system if a little slow.

On board the possibilities are vast for this unassuming frugal little platform. Running debian opens up massive support and energies from the community. If we can get Open CPN into the Repos that would be awesome.

Cheers
Spart

[Schooner Chandlery]

Hi guys--we've been focused on other QT issues (the v5 vs v4 libs as discussed above) to support our boat systems and anchor watch programs. Spart seems to be using the RPI2 exactly as we are (y) and he's probably just about as excited as we are about using the Pi for just about anything you need on the boat.

David is also swamped with adding some automated shipping capabilities for our Schooner Chandlery sellers right now so will hopefully emerge with some input on wayland soon as we get QT v5 up and working (reliant upon wayland) so we can replace QT v4.

Fair winds,
Brenda
