Flickering Animations on QNX
-
Hi, we are currently experiencing issues running Qt UI applications on a ZCU102 evaluation board running QNX 7. The issue manifests as a black flickering that occurs whenever there is any animation on the screen. The same applications run fine without flickering on Desktop Linux. We've tested on different monitors/cables.
When running built in graphics demos (on the ZCU102 board), this flickering does not occur, only when running Qt UI applications. We are attempting to run Qt Quick 2 applications, but the issue also manifests when running Qt demos such as the OpenGLWindow example application.
The animation test application we are running is using Qt Quick 2 and is a simple Rectangle animating back and forth.
The following video is running the animation test on Desktop Linux

https://streamable.com/84svaThe graphics.conf we are using is here:
begin khronos begin egl display 1 egl-dlls = libmali.so glesv1-dlls = libmali.so glesv2-dlls = libmali.so gpu-dlls = libmali-kbase.so end egl display begin wfd device 1 wfd-dlls = libwfdcfg-zcu102.so libWFDzynq.so end wfd device end khronos begin winmgr begin globals input-logsize = 8192 input = keyboard mouse requests-logsize = 65536 alloc-config = zynq-alloc end globals begin display internal video-mode = 1280 x 720 @ 60 end display begin class framebuffer display = internal pipeline = 2 format = rgba8888 usage = sw end class end winmgr
It seems that the streams coming from the actual process are good and do not have the flicker (under /dev/screen/[process-id]/str-0, but the frame buffer under /dev/screen/0/str-1 does contain the flickering.
I also have all of the debugging output from /dev/screen/ on the target device, but I am unable to upload all of the files to the forum due to privileges.

Hi,
There might not be anyone here being able to answer QNX related question. You should check the #qt-qnx IRC channel on freenode to see if you can have somebody taking a look at you thread here.
