Vivante drivers on IMX8Plus

Product support
1

Hi there,

I’m working on a project with a Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS and I’m trying to run a Qt application in a docker container.
The balenaOs image I’m using is the 2.113.31+rev1 and the base image for the docker container is balenalib/iot-gate-imx8plus-debian:bullseye-20230911.

When I try to run the application, I get the following error:
MESA-LOADER: failed to open vivante: /usr/lib/dri/vivante_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri:$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri)
failed to load driver: vivante

If I try to use the open-source Etnaviv drivers, I get the following error:
Running on a software rasterizer (llvmpipe), expect limited performance.

I’ve checked the Host OS and the Docker container and I can’t find the Vivante drivers installed on either.
Is there a way to enable this?

Many thanks

Nicolas

Hi, balenaOS is a minimal hostOS specialized in running container workloads - all the graphical support, qt, mesa, openGL, vivante driver needs to be included along with the application. We currently don’t have a reference example to show case this functionality, but we do work with partners that are able to implement this type of solutions.
