Native SDK Drivers Testing

PowerVR Insider

Hi,

I am trying to test the proprietary drivers for PowerVR GPU with the Native SDK and I am not very sure how to do this. where should the drivers be included? in the include directory of the build directory? on the host system they are in /usr/lib but the Example Files can‘t find them…

Hi Loris,

Thanks for your question and welcome to the PowerVR Developer Forum!

I would like to ask please some questions:

  • What device model and Operating System are you working with?
  • What PowerVR GPU does the device have?
  • Did a manufacturer provided those proprietary drivers? otherwise could you please detail how did you got them?

Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi , it‘s the PowerVR BXE-4-32 MC1 , on a RISCV64 board

I have some staging source libraries and I have the built drivers from the platform provider.

I have built a custom mesa with the lib and pkgconfig and i would like to test the driver output. there are also test binaries provided with the DDK but unfortunately I can‘t run them so I would like to use the Native SDK. The drivers have old names like libGLESv1.so libGLESv2.so etc. and the Native SDK is searching for recent file names like libgles.so . Is there a specific version of the SDK I have to use?

Thank you for helping me

Best regards

Loris

Hi Loris,

Thanks for the information.

I would suggest you get in touch with the manufacturer for specifics on how to setup the GPU driver.
