Optimized Opencpn: Testers Needed

[ChuckSK]

And another.

Displaying many AIS targets also causes a graphics driver reset.

[seandepagnier]

If your driver cannot use textures, then it isn't very useful for opengl. Using glDrawPixels is maybe not slower on some older hardware, or noticed with a small number of operations, but on newer hardware and with opengles, or lots of operations, it can be very very slow.

The call is only for compatibility with very only programs, and should never be used. This is because glDrawPixels is emulated so that each call creates a texture, initializes all the data in ram, uploads to texture, then renders and delete the texture.

I didn't change the ais rendering code, so it never used textures. It probably should be updated to do so.

Sean and others,
Yesterday I git cloned opencpn-opt and ran cmake .. and cmake --build . It ran without errors, as did MSVC Build > Build Solution and then go to Debug Mode and it loaded, which it did not last night! but there was an almost immediate break, and it looks like I have something configured incorrectly, please see Break, Settings and Log files attached.

By the way, additionally I copied folder tcdata, sounds, uidata, gshhs into the Build directory. - Perhaps that was not necessary?

The break seems to be re occurring. Sorry I'm so late to the game here, with sean and bdcat are transfering parts now.

It's not only a lot of AIS targets which slows down but also when you have lots of layer targets.

I think you are mixing parts from debug and releases or something. Can't you just build and install the program as normal?

If you have lots of tide boxes it used to also be very slow, but not so bad now (especially with accelerated panning)

I thought you said it crashed the graphics driver. So lots of ais targets is very slow to render? This makes sense because of the way they are handled. I never optimized this. What are layer targets?

Hi

I would really like to get OpenCPN running on my Raspberry PI.

I did the following on my raspbeery PI as root:
apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgtk2.0-dev gettext git-core cmake gpsd gpsd-clients \
libgps-dev build-essential wx-common libwxgtk2.8-dev \
libglu1-mesa-dev libgtk2.0-dev wx2.8-headers \
libbz2-dev libtinyxml-dev libsdl1.2debian xcalib

git clone https://github.com/seandepagnier/OpenCPN.git
cd OpenCPN/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
make build
dpkg -i opencpn_3.3.1618-1_armhf.deb

The result, logged in as pi:
$ /usr/bin/opencpn
-bash: /usr/bin/opencpn: Permission denied

$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/opencpn
$ /usr/bin/opencpn
A window pop up, telling me that it failed to initialize the GUI and refer to opencpn.log

$ cat opencpn.log

Just to join this issue:
From a win7-64, CM93 and several hundreds AIS targets the following occurs:
When zooming in/out first a "layer" containing AIS targets and the lat-lon grids is instantly zoomed. Then after a long while the charts canvas is following after. If I then get impatient and press a zoom key again the AIS and the lat/lon grids are still fast zooming but the charts is frozen for half a minute or so.

Layer is the rightmost panel of routemanager often used for own points of interest marks.

Hi

I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong thread. I found the first post in this thread asking for Raspberry PI testers. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ml#post1435765
--cut--
I have no display for my raspberry Pi, I would love to hear about any testers on raspberry pi, but you would almost certainly need hardware accelerated opengl to reap much benefit. Of course all platforms need testing.

I have got OpenCPN running on my Raspberry PI but it is extremly slow. I wanted to contribute to the optimized OpenCPN and this did look alright.

Peter...
Just follow the normal build instructions, there should be no problem at all. Stuff like "make build" which you mention does not exist, hard to say where you got it from, maybe you mean "make package".
Anyway

make install

should be all you need. I never tried producing a deb package for ARM, but will for the next beta.

Did cmake --build . with no errors. Then start Debug mode and instantly get this.
I've added nothing, changed nothing. Any idea what is needed?

Don't be sorry. I am sure we are many RaspberryPI interested folks eagerly waiting for it to be more easy to compile and use.

Did you find this post by Sean?

If you could test and make a idiot-proof-newbie instruction how to compile it I would give it a go as well.

As soon as you have it running I am sure the developers are eager to hear your comments on the use of OpenCPN on the Pi.
