Cross Compiler for Google Coral Dev Board Problem

[Shao]

I attempt to make cross compile from my PC(Ubuntu 20.04) to my embedded device, but I face some problem.

My Qt version: 5.9.9

My cross compiler tool:

gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu

(I put the cross compiler tool to /usr/local/)

My embedded device information:

$uname -a
Linux vexing-dog 4.14.98-imx #1SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 17 01:15:45 UTC 2020 aarch64 GUN/Linux
$lsb_release -a
NO LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:Mendel
Description:Mendel Gun/Linux 5 (Eagle)
Release:10.0
Codename:eagle

CPU info:
Architecture:aarch64
Model:Cortex-A53

I refer the cross compiler for Jetson Nano video. The link is below.

Since there is no qmake.conf file for Google Coral dev board, I try to adjust the qmake.conf file from "linux-jetson-tk1-g++" folder.

$cp linux-jetson-tk1-g++ linux-imx8-g++
$nano linux-imx8-g++/qmake.conf

Here is my qmake.conf

include(../common/linux_device_pre.conf)

QMAKE_INCDIR_POST += \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/include \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gun

QMAKE_LIBDIR_POST += \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/lib/aarch64-linux-gun \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gun

QMAKE_RPATHLINKDIR_POST += \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gun \
    $$[QT_SYSROOT]/lib/aarch64-linux-gun


#QMAKE_INCDIR_EGL        = $$[QT_SYSROOT]/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gun
QMAKE_LIBS_EGL         += -lEGL
QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL_ES2  += -lGLESv2 -lEGL 

DISTRO_OPTS                  += aarch64
COMPILER_FLAGS               += -march=armv8-a+crypto+crc

EGLFS_DEVICE_INTEGRATION = eglfs_viv
#EGLFS_DEVICE_INTEGRATION = eglfs_kms
#EGLFS_DEVICE_INTEGRATION = eglfs_kms_egldevice

include(../common/linux_arm_device_post.conf)
load(qt_config)

and I mount my device rootfs to /opt/Coral/rootfs.

$mkdir -p /opt/Coral/rootfs
$sshfs root@192.168.100.2:/ /opt/Coral/rootfs

and configure the Qt

./configure  -v \
-release \
-opensource \
-confirm-license \
-recheck-all \
-device linux-imx8-g++ \
-device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/gcc-linaro-6.3.1-aarch64/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- \
-sysroot /opt/Coral/rootfs \
-prefix /opt/Coral/qt5.9.9_SDK \
-opengl es2 \
-gstreamer 1.0 \
-nomake examples -nomake tests \
-no-use-gold-linker 

and i got the error below

ERROR: Feature 'opengles2' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'config.win32 || (!config.watchos && !features.opengl-desktop && libs.opengl_es2)' failed.

ERROR: The OpenGL functionality tests failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],

I check my dev package correct install.

Any dev package or setting I missing ?

Thanks for any help

Hi,

You need these packages for your target. They are usually provided through its root filesystem.

The usual way is to install them directly on your device and then synch the root filesystem back to your desktop machine to use it for cross-compilation.

This is NOT an attempt to hijack this thread!
( I have started similar thread elsewhere )

I am in process to build / cross-compile using Qt Creator and looking for any pointers and found this.

I am currently in Tools-Options and have installed GCC crosscomplier.
My next step is to "connect" to "device " - using same Tools-Options.

My "device" is Raspberry Pi and it has "Target Commodification Framework' (TCF) installed and it was working using another IDE.
So far I am unable to locate a decent sample / tutorial implementing TCF in QtCreator.

The video mentioned is using Eclipse "light" and it does not look at all as the Eclipse I was using - no TCF is used.

In short - I am not sure if I have to modify qmake - prefer NOT to - but in general - am I on right track to implement TCF in QtCreator?

Please check the config.log in the folder where you're trying to configure the Qt build for the exact issue why it failed.

You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],

QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platform.

Please do so, since you're using qmake.conf file from "linux-jetson-tk1-g++"

However, you've succeeded hijacking the post. You're issue is quite different from the original post (different devices, different goals).

( I have started similar thread elsewhere )

So why double posting here? One post is enough, please wait for other users to comment on your other post.

@SGaist
I think I am correct install these needed packages in my target device.
(libgles2-mesa-dev, libxkbcommon-dev, libgstreamer1.0-0, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base)
Is there something I still missing?

[Shao]

@Pablo-J-Rogina
In my opinion, the reason to cause the OpenGL functionality tests failed is incorrect setting of QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL, QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL.
Is that right?

Those setting is refer to my past experience and some article(not Coral dev board), but actually I don't know the setting detail.
Could you provide me some additional reference?

I noticed that the rasp-pi and Jetson device will provide specific file and folder about opengl.
In the Jetson, there is a folder locate at sysroot/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gun/tergra-egl
In the rasp-pi, there is a folder locate at sysroot/opt/vc.

These specific folder is setting in the QMAKE.
But I don't find the specific folder in the image file provide by the development company.
Even I link to sysroot/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gun (the path to libEGL.so libEGL.so.1.1.0 ,etc.), I got the same error.

You should check the configure logs to see exactly what is failing.

You should also do an out of source build so you can more easily nuke and restart when you change something or you have an error and need to restart.
