WOW!! prepare to be deluged in email requests on how to get all of
that running =)
(And yes, I am one of those folks, but I'll still send you the direct email )

The actual process is quite simple:

opkg install ogre-egl-samples

But, and here's the snag: you need the .06 version of the SGX SDK from
TI, which isn't 'freely' available yet.

Koen,

Where did you get the RenderSystem for OpenGL ES 2.0?

Leandro

[Leandro Gentili]

Koen,

Nm, I found it in ogre's svn.

It's still GLES1 and it's in ogre svn. I needed to patch it to make it
work: https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&atid=302997&aid=2580069&group_id=2997

Hi,

I have successfully installed the musb gadget enabled version of Uboot (http://elinux.org/U-boot_musb_gadget_support). With that I can connect to beagle U-boot just over USB (no serial cable : the USB provides power AND serial connection to the Beagle).

However I have not yet succeeded in connecting to Angstrom in the same way (when booting Angstrom, I loose contact ... except on the "old" ttyS2 serial line I want to do away with). Could someone tell me what the proper settings for U-boot and Angstrom (demo version, extra drivers, configuration ?) would be to (minicom/serial) talk to Angstrom over USB (ie just one cable between host and beagle...)...

As a bonus, is there any way I could send the beagle graphic display as well to a laptop PC running (k)ubuntu linux, still over USB, using VNC or whatever, or am I asking too much?

 

Thanks in advance for any hints ...

Hi, I did a reply to a random beagle mail to get the adress field, and then changed the subject before sending the message below to create a new thread. It was somehow interpreted as a thread subject change, in effect killing the OGRE3D thread. That did not confuse my mailer (which sorts threads by subject) but it did obviously confuse the google group website, as Geof Cohler kindly let me know. 

I'll make sure I don't repeat that mistake, and am now trying to fix it by repeating the operation by replying to my own message to change the thread subject back to OGRE 3D. For the USB question, I will try to post it again in a few days, as a new thread. I am really sorry about that mistake, and I was certainly not trying to hijack the OGRE3D discussion (speaking of that demo, it rocks !!). Sorry about the inconvenience, that was definitely not intended.

Hi Koen,

I'm interested in getting Ogre up and running on my beagleboard.
Could you explain the steps involed (i.e. which dist are you using
etc....).

Thanks,
Jay

Download the 06 SDK, build the .ipk using openembedded.

As the youtube clip says: angstrom.

Thanks,

I will attempt to install OE. I had problems a while back when I
tried it. It appears that TI has a new release since you started this
effort. Have you tried their new OMAP35x Graphics SDK yet?

You should note that one of the steps in [1] is to install that
updated SDK. :)

I am going to try to keep this working as Ogre is updated.

I don't have a Beagleboard yet but will be building the package to get
it ready. I'll also be building Ogre outside of OE to test with an
OpenGL ES emulator on Linux.

I am also planning to try to port over some of the optional bits like
CEGUI and OIS.

Hi Koen,

I think I'm almost there. I'm still kinda of new to OE. Below are
the steps I've currently been able to do.

1. Create a console-image following the instructions on

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardAndOpenEmbeddedGit

instead of creating an image on the SD card, I extracted the console-
image-beagleboard.tar image onto my local file system and created an
entry in my /etc/exports.

I did run into some problems with trying to get my Kernel to NFS mount
the root filesystem. Apparently, IP-CONFIG tries to bring up the
network before the USB subsystem can detect the USB Ethernet device.
It took me awhile to figure out the problem and how to fix it under
OE. My fix works, but I haven't figure out how to really integrate
that fix into the OE/Bitbake process (save this for another thread).

2. Continued the instructions on

http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/HowtoUseSGXunderAngstrom

I was able to install the OpenGL ES drivers and run the gles1test1 and
some of my own OpenGL ES code:)

3. Install Ogre3D

I did the following:

# opkg install ogre-egl-samples

I think it installed, but I'm not sure how to bring up any of the
examples. Looking at your video, it also appears that you have X11 up
and running too. How do I get to the point of being able to run the
samples in

/usr/share/ogre3d/samples/Common/bin

Thanks again,
Jay

You need to remove the sections that the applications complain about
and after that the demos will run.

Koen

Hi Koen,

I think I'm missing something here. I tried SkeletalAnimation and I
didn't see a think. I also tried a few other examples with the same
result. The text below is the output of SkeletalAnimaiton. Did I
miss a step? Note, I don't have X11 running, as the instructions
didn't mention anything about how to get it up and running. Do I need
X11 for these demos? If so, which bitbake bb or opkg do I need to
install. ogre-egl-samples installed without a hitch. Help.........

I'm having similar problems. I noticed if you run any of the demos
under X a dialog box pops up from Ogre3D titled 'OGRE Engine Setup'.
There are no visible options in the Renderer options: section of the
dialog. All you can do is hit OK or Cancel. Selecting OK yields an
exception in the console:

'OGRE EXCEPTION(1:InvalidStateException): Cannot initialize - no
render system has been selected'

I suspect running the demos outside of X fail to run because of this
missing configuration. Perhaps there is a hardcoded version of this
config that needs to be created?

> mmon bitmap formats. Seehttp://freeimage.sourceforge.netfor details

[David Batzle]

All the example applications in Ogre use the pop up setup window. The demos
could probably be re-written to use a config file instead. I have written
a simple app that ran without the config pop up.

But there is another problem. The GL ES render system depends on X and
uses some X calls. So even without that pop up it will still not run
without X. Modifying the render system to run without X is something I plan
to take a look at later.

Also....

On my desktop system, if you click the blank space next to Render System,
a menu will drop down to let you select the render system.

If you have a config file, then the dialog box will be pre-loaded with the
settings from the config file.

What should a config file look like to work on the beagleboard?

The biggest difference should be the mode and frequency settings.
This file is called ogre.cfg.
