PowerVR SDK (3.00.00.08a) kernel module problems

[Jerry Johns]

I'm trying to get the PowerVR SDK kernel modules working on my
OMAP3EVM - Although i know this forum is beagle board centric, the
majority of the major dabblers in the opengl domain happen to be on
this mailing list :P

I’ve downloaded the OpenGL SDK v3.00.00.08a and the latest PSP
(OMAP35x-PSP-SDK-02.01.02.09) and am using the arm2007q3-51 version of
the CodeSourcery toolchain – I’m running into problems getting the
OpenGL kernel modules to load on the Linux kernel – I’ve applied the
SGX patches (found in sgx_kernelmodule_patches), and noticed that the
psp_kernel_patches/*.patch have already been applied on the Linux
kernel (so I did not apply them).

When I try to load the three kernel modules, I get errors. Loading
pvrsrvkm.ko goes without incident.

Loading omaplfb.ko produces the following error:
<4>omaplfb: no symbol version for PVRGetDisplayClassJTable
omaplfb: no symbol version for PVRGetDisplayClassJTable
<4>omaplfb: Unknown symbol PVRGetDisplayClassJTable
omaplfb: Unknown symbol PVRGetDisplayClassJTable
insmod: cannot insert 'omaplfb.ko': unknown symbol in module, or
unknown parameter

Does anyone know the source of these errors? The symbol is declared in
GFX_Linux_KM/services4/srvkm/common/deviceclass.c and does get
compiled into pvrsrvkm.ko, but somehow doesn't get recognized by
omaplfb.ko.

Thank you,

*BUMP* anyone run into this problem? I'm sure this has been
encountered before, seeing as .08a and PSP 2.01.02.09 are now official
releases from TI
I've compiled the OE version of the powervr kernel modules (available
from GIT), and compiled them against the TI PSP release, and they load
fine - however, consequently, the power VR demos do not execute.

Koen can you shed some light? A google search of this error showed
that you had mentioned the relevant patches required to fix this issue
are in OE - I can patch that myself, but just wanted some guidance as
to whether i'm patching the kernel modules, the OMAPFB driver, or the
power vr demos.

Thanks,

Jerry

*FIXED* Compilation has to be invoked from the GFX_Linux_KM/ folder,
since the IMG build is not compatible with the 2.6.29 kernel.
This should be fixed in the 09 SDK release.

Hi Jerry,
Can you just brief how you fixed this issue?

As i alluded in my earlier post, you'll have to go into the
OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_3_00_00_08a/GFX_Linux_KM/ folder, and edit the
Makefile so that "KERNEL_DIR", "DISCIMAGE" point to the right
locations.
then type "make" and you should your kernel modules built (pvrsrvkm.ko
in the OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_3_00_00_08a/GFX_Linux_KM/ folder and
omaplfb.ko in the MAP35x_Graphics_SDK_3_00_00_08a/GFX_Linux_KM/
services4/3rdparty/dc_omap3430_linux folder)

Hi Jerry,
That problem get solved.Thanks for the input. and I cam across with
other problems.My issues are
form the /opt/gfxsdkdemos/ i am able to run the demos, but demos won't
displaying anything over the LCD module.I am seeing some lines.
I tried most of the demos and getting some lines only.
I have one more issue. Every time i am trying OPENGL demos. its
registering for some isr and overflowing the buffer(arch/arm/plat-omap/
dss/dispc.c (omap_dispc_register_isr)). The buffer size is only
8.Since it is not unregistering or getting some issue.its overflowing
the buffer and getting problems.I hope with some applications we can
solve this issue.
My main issue is the first one. Using EGL I am not able to displaying
anything, ie demos not working.I am hoping for some favourable reply.
Regards and Thanks

Those issues will happen if you haven't patched the proper files
Make sure to follow the Graphics SDK Getting Started manual, which
mentions that you'll have to patch the PSP kernel source, and the
powervr kernel modules as well.
That should fix your problems.

Following your procedure I have succesffully built and loaded the
kernel modules. When I go to run the test I receive the following
error.

# ./gles1test1 -t
'eglInitialize' returned egl error 'EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED' (0x3001)

It should be noted I am using Graphics SDK 3.00.00.08 with PSP
2.01.01.08 on OMAP3EVM board. I am using pre-built kernel, and GFX SDK
NFS filesystem. I have replaced pvrsrvkm.ko and omaplfb.ko, and
modified /etc/init.d/rc.pvr to change "modprope -f" to "modprobe -q"
and remove the bc_example.ko stuff as it is not built using your
method.

Perhaps this has been address in 08a or 09. I will try these out if
you haven't encountered the issue I have above. These were printed
during startup:

Thanks I should have looked more closely.
