PVRPerfServer Coredump on QNX 710

patrick · June 11, 2024, 8:06am

Hi Expert,

I am running PVRPerfServer on QNX 7.1.0 OS, and it end up to a coredump.
The console output is following:

Can you explain the reason behind and how can I solve it?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

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

Please, when possible try with the latest version of PVRTune, R24.1 (v14.157). You can download it from our Developer Portal ( Login - Imagination Developers ). Please note you will need to make a new account to access the downloads section.

Let me know if you still have issues after trying with the latest version.

Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi AlejandroC,

Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the latest PVRTune for SGX, but it looks does not have a version fits my platform.
The platform I am using is Texas Instrument TDA4 VH, with QNX 7.1.0 OS.

BR,
Patrick

AlejandroC · June 12, 2024, 10:00am

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your message.

PVRTune v14.157 (R24.1) has binaries for PVRPerfServer QNX v7.1 for Armv8, Armv7 and x86_64 (folders QNX710_aarch64le, QNX710_armle-v7 and QNX710_x86_64 respectively inside PVRTune PVRPerfServer/ installation folder). Your platform (TI TDA4 VH) has Arm Cortex-A72 CPUs, which should be capable of running Armv8 binaries, which corresponds to the ones under the QNX710_aarch64le folder.

Please let me know if I am missing something here and what platform support you would need.

Best regards,
Alejandro

patrick · June 12, 2024, 10:15am

Hi Alejandro

I downloaded PVRTune_for_SGX.tar from Login - Imagination Developers and extraced, but I do not see QNX folders.
It looks like the default version for download is a very old version, can you send me the link for 2024 R1 version as I do not see it on the Dowloads section.

BR,
Patrick

AlejandroC · June 12, 2024, 10:20am

Hi Patrick,

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

You should try downloading the Windows or the Linux 64-bit releases, which have the PVRPerfServer QNX 7.1 armv7 / armv8 / x86_64 binaries:

Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for your reply, I downloaded the latest version successfully.
However, It crashes on my platform as well, the console output is as follows:

Hi Patrick,

Thanks a lot for the information, I already reported it to the Tools Team.

It would be really useful to know the GPU driver version. It should be in the format [number].[number]@[number], for instance 1.15@6133109

Best regards,
Alejandro

patrick · June 13, 2024, 10:34am

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for your information.
I check the platform and get the rgx firmware version 36.53.104.796
It is not in the format you mentioned, maybe I looked up in the wrong way, please let me know how to get the right GPU driver version. Thanks!

BR,
Patrick

patrick · June 21, 2024, 2:26am

Hi Alejandro,

Please let me if there is any updates on this. Thanks!

AlejandroC · June 21, 2024, 1:16pm

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your message,

We are still investigating this issue. I will report back to you as soon as we have more information.

Best regards,
Alejandro

AlejandroC · June 24, 2024, 10:17am

Hi Patrick,

Regarding retrieving the GPU driver version, could you please try each of the commands below and provide the output?

cat /sys/kernel/debug/pvr/version
cat /proc/pvr/version
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libPVR*

The GPU driver version might be present in the format [number].[number]@[seven-digit-changelist] or [number].[number].[seven-digit-changelist]

Best regards,
Alejandro

AlejandroC · June 24, 2024, 1:05pm

Hi Patrick,

If the previous commands do no work, could you please try the alternative options below?

egl-configs (QNX tool to output EGL configs & GPU driver version).
command gles3-gears -verbose
command pvrdebug -dds

Let me know if you need any help with this commands. Regarding the issues you are experiencing, we are still investigating them.

Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi Patrick,

We are able to run the same binaries, with the same GPU driver version, on the same QNX OS version, on a quite similar device (R-Car H3 Starter Kit WS 3.0). We suspect the issue you are experiencing is related with the GPU driver environment / setup.

Is there any chance you can do a factory reset of your device and provide any environment details you add afterwards before running PVRPerfServerDeveloper?

Best regards,
Alejandro

patrick · June 25, 2024, 6:21am

Hi Alejandro,

Our device is used for self-driving system development, so the enviroment is very complicated. I may not be able to reset it and provide you the details with every single step.

If you need any specific enviroment settings, please let me know, and I will try to provide.

Thanks!

BR,
Patrick

AlejandroC · June 25, 2024, 12:11pm

Hi Patrick,

I can think of two options to assist you:

You can generate a backtrace or coredump with gdb, which hopefully will help clarify what is failing.
You can do a clean install of the OS. I am not familiar with the exact device you are working with, but usually they have a memory card / slot where the Operating System is installed. If you can reset that memory card with a clean OS image recommended by Texas Instruments / QNX that would give you a good starting point. There are guides on how to do that, you can also ask TI / QNX for details. After that you could test again whether you are still having the same issues with PVRPerfServer (do not worry about providing environment details) and let me know if that is the case.

Best regards,
Alejandro

patrick · July 19, 2024, 6:27am

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for your advice.
I have tried install a clean QNX OS on a EVM board, but it still end up to a coredump.
The forum does not allow me to attach a file, so can you please leave a email address for me to send the coredump file?

BR,
Patrick

AlejandroC · July 19, 2024, 10:32am

Hi Patrick,

Thank you so much for going through those steps.

Could you please send an email to our Internal Support Portal, devtech.portal@imgtec.com ? this will open a new ticket where you can attach your coredump and we will follow up with you.

Best regards and many thanks in advance,
Alejandro

patrick · July 19, 2024, 11:32am
