Plan: 1) Unify all boards to at least -vga=std, remove cirrus driver from oe-core. Needs CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS in the kernel. 2) See if virtio works, enable drivers on all platforms, use that. 3) If (2) fails, try vmware on platforms where vmware fails 84570 2 ross.burton 2019-08-01 18:23:58 +0000 Some incomplete prior art at poky-contrib:ross/virtio 84577 3 alex.kanavin 2019-08-02 12:44:48 +0000 +1 from me: let's standardize on virtio (you do not need working virgl to have it). 84608 4 randy.macleod 2019-08-08 14:38:56 +0000 Kevin, If you could do this before M3, that would be great. Let us know your plans and availability. 84641 5 alex.kanavin 2019-08-12 15:44:44 +0000 Patch for step 1 sent: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/linux-yocto/2019-August/007877.html Note that this enables bochs for qemux86(-64); it is already enabled for qemuarm(64) and qemurisc(32/64). Once this merges and propagates to oe-core, we can drop the vmware/cirrus stuff. 84642 6 alex.kanavin 2019-08-12 15:47:47 +0000 To clarify, that is a patch only for the kernel module enabling (CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS). Unifying drivers and cleanup still to do (once we are able to test the bochs). 84663 7 alex.kanavin 2019-08-14 10:43:10 +0000 My apologies, but it is rather impolite to re-assign the task to someone else without asking them first, even if they did some work towards resolving it. 85409 8 akuster 2019-10-21 15:09:37 +0000 isn't this fixed now ? https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/scripts?h=zeus&id=73cb104f3307736f4922f2e0c9648f9b2d3b3b6b also the kernal fragments went is too. https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-kernel/linux?h=zeus&id=a777e0f34e106455f963bd58fd8728a16c588c4d https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-kernel/linux?h=zeus&id=569d3f5d0454ed31f2f6df29f1703246a3dcd715 85410 9 akuster 2019-10-21 15:10:08 +0000 it in zeus for sure. 85411 10 alex.kanavin 2019-10-21 15:27:38 +0000 This is up to Ross, I am not sure what else could be done really. 85433 11 richard.purdie 2019-10-24 14:56:31 +0000 Final piece: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=58e85c60cd15cf4c0b47cddcf507543461c1a328 85434 12 richard.purdie 2019-10-24 14:57:17 +0000 Given the above commit, issue resolved.
