Hi uyoung.liu,

Can you share a minimal reproduction that reproduces the crash with is for further investigation?

Regards,

Hi Joe,
Thanks for help.
We’ve spent two weeks+ on this issue, but still can’t fix it.
The driver is /system/vendor/lib/egl/libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4403
The Device is KindleFire(6.3.1, Android 2.3), we also have another Android Phone with the the same driver has the same issue.
here is the device detail:
Kindle Fire:
Version 1.7.17.4403 (release) omap_sgx_android
System Version String: SGX revision = 1.2.0
LibFile:
libEGL_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libEGL_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4403
libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4403
libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4403

below is another two pvr device which works fine:
Fujitsu ArrowsXLTE:
Version 1.7.17.4958 (release) omap_sgx_android
System Version String: SGX revision = 1.2.0
LibFile:
libEGL_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libEGL_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4958
libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4958
libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so
libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so.1.1.17.4958

Galaxy Player4.2:
Version 1.7.17.4403 (release) omap_sgx_android
System Version String: SGX revision = 1.2.5
LibFile:
libEGL_POWERVR_SGX530_125.so
libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX530_125.so
libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX530_125.so

it’s very hard to locate the reason cause the freeze, because:
1. we can’t get any useful error msg(glGeError, logcat, also try PVRTrace, but it won’t work on KindleFire)
2.the program freeze randomly in glDraw Function, it doesn’t freeze in specific draw call.

I will try to provide an apk file if you want.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve created a new topic for this conversation. For the benefit of anyone else reading, this spawned from a similar topic here.

That’s interesting that the Kindle Fire has the bug, but the Galaxy Player 4.2 doesn’t even though they have come from the same reference driver. It could, of course, be an SGX 540 specific problem that newer drivers have fixed. I’ll discuss the issue with our driver team to see if they know what the cause of the problem may be.

PVRTrace recording will work on any rooted Android device.If it’s failing to record, then your pvrtrace.cfg file may be set incorrectly or the libraries may be installed in an incorrect directory.

An .apk would be great. Please send this to devtech@imgtec.com.

Regards,
Joe

Hi,

I’ve just spotted that the driver version in the Kindle Fire crash log is different from the driver version number that you’ve written in your last post. Were both driver version strings taken from the same Kindle Fire? Were any system updates applied to the Kindle Fire between the crash and the second driver version query you did?

Regards,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for help

Sorry, I didn’t say it clearly.
the log above comes from Fujitsu ArrowsXLTE(1.7.17.4958),
1.7.17.4958 works fine for most of the time.
but it still die(freeze) once, and this is the log when it die.
Kindle Fire(1.7.17.4403) die(freez) very often. but no error message at all.

I’ve just replace the Kindle Fire’s GL driver(1.7.17.4403) with the driver from ArrowsXLTE(1.7.17.4958),
and the program works fine.
so I think the issue(glDraw freeze) should be fixed in 1.7.17.4958, or may be not totally fixed since I got the log above.

the problem is We don’t know when KindleFire will update it’s GL driver.

would you please check the changes between 1.7.17.4403 and 1.7.17.4958?
if there are not too much change, it should be easy to know the reason for the glDraw freezing issue.

Thanks a lot.

PS: Replace GL driver means:

Hi Joe,

Thanks for help.

There is another bug for 1.7.17.4403(Kindle Fire), 1.7.17.4958(ArrowsXLTE) works fine.
while I tried to use glProgramBinaryOES
the program will crash, here is the code and logcat:


C++ Code:
     NNM_TRACE("myglProgramBinaryOES0 ShaderName: %s (%d)n", szShaderName, pProgram);
     myglProgramBinaryOES(pProgram, *((GLenum*)_am_std_shader_buf), (_am_std_shader_buf+sizeof(GLenum)), fsize-sizeof(GLenum));
     NNM_GL_CHECKERROR(pShaderManager);
     glGetProgramiv(pProgram, GL_LINK_STATUS, &Linked);
     NNM_TRACE("myglProgramBinaryOES1 ShaderName: %s (%d)n", szShaderName, Linked);

maybe 1.7.17.4403(Kindle Fire) just can't use glProgramBinaryOES?


Thanks

Hi,

I’ve spoken to our driver team, but they aren’t sure what the cause of the problem is. Have you been able to resolve the issue yet? Can you provide us with a minimal reproduction for this problem?

I’ve ran our OGLES2ShaderBinary training course on our Kindle Fire, and it has been able to retrieve and then reload the shader binary successfully. Can you compare your code against our OGLES2ShaderBinary code? This should help you isolate the cause of the problem.

Thanks,
Joe
