Qt WebGL Streaming without GPU
-
Hi all,
On https://www.qt.io/blog/2018/11/23/qt-quick-webgl-release-512 in the "Use cases" topic, I can read that WegGL Streaming can be used with low-end device without GPU.
I'm very interesting by this feature...I have an already working solution, in the same "environment" (Qt 5.12.6, Linux 4.9, Yocto branch "warrior"), but on a Wandboard (iMX6 with Vivante GPU, with open source driver armada+etnaviv and Xorg).
I'm currently trying to use it with a "Zynq 7000" eval board (Xilinx CPU + FPGA in a simple chip but without GPU).
But, I can't build the qtwebglplugin because I can't find the good "configure" options.
On many Qt WebGL blog pages, I can read that to enable Qt WebGL Plugin, I need to build with "-open es" configure option.
But, on a device without GPU, I need to build Qt with the "-no-opengl" configure option...My question is : Is it possible to build the Qt WebGL plugin for hardware without GPU (with -no-opengl ?) and which version used ? (I'm trying with 5.12, perhaps 5.14 fix this issue ?)
Thanks for any solutions or lead to resolve this issue.
Fabien -
I find the solution myself.
With Yocto branch Warrior (Qt 5.12), I build Qt with OpenGL enable:PACKAGECONFIG_GL_pn-qtbase = "gles2" PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-mesa += "gles"In this case, like I said, a QML application is very slow, butn if I set the variable
export QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontextThe application works like with no-opengl.
And, I'm able to run this application in WebGL, by adding " -platform webgl:port=xxx" option (in this case, QMLSCENE_DEVICE must be unset)

great and thank you for sharing it.
please don't forget to mark this post as solved then!
