Like GBM it is Mesa specific, so no change in supported setups is\n expected. If ever required, a fallback to the generic device platform\n could be added on top.\n2. It leaves the complexity of selecting a renderer device to the\n driver, reducing code and dependencies.\n3. It allows to use llvmpipe / software drivers without dri device,\n which can be useful on CI or debugging (with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1).\n\nSigned-off-by: Robert Mader \nReviewed-by: Bryan O'Donoghue \nTested-by: Bryan O'Donoghue # sm8250/rb5, x1e/Dell Insprion14p\nReviewed-by: Milan Zamazal \nTested-by: Milan Zamazal # TI AM69\nTested-by: Barnabás Pőcze # ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 + ov2740\n---\n include/libcamera/internal/egl.h | 4 +---\n src/libcamera/egl.cpp | 12 +++++-------\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp | 7 ++-----\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h | 1 -\n 4 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)","diff":"diff --git a/include/libcamera/internal/egl.h b/include/libcamera/internal/egl.h\nindex f007f448a..630345ea7 100644\n--- a/include/libcamera/internal/egl.h\n+++ b/include/libcamera/internal/egl.h\n@@ -16,8 +16,6 @@\n #include \n #include \n \n-#include \"libcamera/internal/gbm.h\"\n-\n #define EGL_EGLEXT_PROTOTYPES\n #include \n #include \n@@ -96,7 +94,7 @@ public:\n \teGL();\n \t~eGL();\n \n-\tint initEGLContext(GBM *gbmContext);\n+\tint initEGLContext();\n \n \tint createInputDMABufTexture2D(eGLImage &eglImage, int fd);\n \tint createOutputDMABufTexture2D(eGLImage &eglImage, int fd);\ndiff --git a/src/libcamera/egl.cpp b/src/libcamera/egl.cpp\nindex da563ee09..7ff1b5ea2 100644\n--- a/src/libcamera/egl.cpp\n+++ b/src/libcamera/egl.cpp\n@@ -256,24 +256,22 @@ void eGL::createTexture2D(eGLImage &eglImage, GLint format, uint32_t width, uint\n \n /**\n * \\brief Initialise the EGL context\n- * \\param[in] gbmContext Pointer to initialised GBM context\n *\n- * Sets up the EGL display from the GBM device, creates an OpenGL ES 2.0\n- * context, and retrieves function pointers for required extensions\n- * including:\n+ * Sets up the EGL display, creates an OpenGL ES 2.0 context, and retrieves\n+ * function pointers for required extensions including:\n * - eglCreateImageKHR / eglDestroyImageKHR\n * - glEGLImageTargetTexture2DOES\n *\n * \\return 0 on success, or -ENODEV on failure\n */\n-int eGL::initEGLContext(GBM *gbmContext)\n+int eGL::initEGLContext()\n {\n \tEGLint configAttribs[] = {\n \t\tEGL_RED_SIZE, 8,\n \t\tEGL_GREEN_SIZE, 8,\n \t\tEGL_BLUE_SIZE, 8,\n \t\tEGL_ALPHA_SIZE, 8,\n-\t\tEGL_SURFACE_TYPE, EGL_WINDOW_BIT,\n+\t\tEGL_SURFACE_TYPE, EGL_PBUFFER_BIT,\n \t\tEGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE, EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT,\n \t\tEGL_NONE\n \t};\n@@ -291,7 +289,7 @@ int eGL::initEGLContext(GBM *gbmContext)\n \t\tgoto fail;\n \t}\n \n-\tdisplay_ = eglGetDisplay(gbmContext->device());\n+\tdisplay_ = eglGetPlatformDisplay(EGL_PLATFORM_SURFACELESS_MESA, nullptr, nullptr);\n \tif (display_ == EGL_NO_DISPLAY) {\n \t\tLOG(eGL, Error) << \"Unable to get EGL display\";\n \t\tgoto fail;\ndiff --git a/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp b/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp\nindex 9693d7252..c85c7d6cd 100644\n--- a/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp\n+++ b/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp\n@@ -142,7 +142,7 @@ int DebayerEGL::initBayerShaders(PixelFormat inputFormat, PixelFormat outputForm\n \n \t/*\n \t * Tell shaders how to re-order output taking account of how the\n-\t * pixels are actually stored by GBM\n+\t * pixels are actually stored by EGL\n \t */\n \tswitch (outputFormat) {\n \tcase formats::ARGB8888:\n@@ -586,10 +586,7 @@ int DebayerEGL::start()\n {\n \tGLint maxTextureImageUnits;\n \n-\tif (gbmSurface_.createDevice())\n-\t\treturn -ENODEV;\n-\n-\tif (egl_.initEGLContext(&gbmSurface_))\n+\tif (egl_.initEGLContext())\n \t\treturn -ENODEV;\n \n \tglGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS, &maxTextureImageUnits);\ndiff --git a/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h b/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h\nindex a5033bc63..cfbaf8e9d 100644\n--- a/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h\n+++ b/src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h\n@@ -113,7 +113,6 @@ private:\n \tRectangle window_;\n \tstd::unique_ptr stats_;\n \teGL egl_;\n-\tGBM gbmSurface_;\n \tuint32_t width_;\n \tuint32_t height_;\n \tGLint glFormat_;\n","prefixes":["v2","1/2"]}
