Qt EGLFS blank screen 100%cpu

aqtuser

Hi,

I successfully compiled Qt for imx6 with eglfs support but when I launch any Qt QML application the screen is just blank and the the cpu is at 100%. The program can't even be stopped with ctrl-c. I have to use kill -9.

There are no error messages anywhere, no logs. I don't know how to debug this problem.
Qt programs work fine with X11, except bad performance (low FPS). That's why I wanted to try out EGLFS, to see if it has better performance.

Any ideas?

This is the output I get when launching an eglfs application.

Hi,

Sounds strange, what are you doing with your application ?

It's a control panel for a machine, just a very simple UI. The problem happens with any Qt application though, even the demos/examples.

SGaist

So with both widgets and QtQuick application ?

Yes. Maybe it's a problem with the vivante driver. With X you have the Xorg.log files. Is there something similar for eglfs?

SGaist

You can set QT_QPA_EGLFS_DEBUG to one, it should print additional information.
