piCore15.0 Beta

[yvs]

Errors on libX11-dev, libxcb-dev, libXau-dev, and libXdmcp-dev:
it comes from libvulkan-1.3.283.tcz.dep

Which repo are you speaking of - libvulkan doesn’t have a dep file..

most probably it was my experiments with vulkan builds at that time, so it needs to be skipped (and I already cleaned up my old locally built extensions)

OK - as an update to the piCore vulkan status, it works on an RPi4 running aarch64 although gtk4 windows are missing various decorations. I haven’t tested on an RPi4 running armhf yet.

I suppose it will work only in software mode (via llvm) as far gtk4 works with gl3+ only and underlying v4 driver is only gl2 compat

..but the 32bit RPi4 driver is v3d, no?

It's about rendering in general, and 2d and 3d.
I cannot say surely about RPi4 (not having one under hands to find out API provided by its VideoCore6 with common V4 driver).

Speaking of RPi3:

Here's what you should get with xorg 3d working using vc4-kms-v3d on an RPi3:

Code: [Select]

inxi -Ga
  API: OpenGL v: 2.1 vendor: broadcom mesa v: 24.1.4 glx-v: 1.4 es-v: 2.0
    direct-render: yes renderer: VC4 V3D 2.1 device-ID: 14e4:ffffffff


The same API versions I've seen with v4-fkms-v3d too.
And needless to say about much newer Vulkan and its support by V4.

I just pushed up beta3 images.

Changes:
Update to Kernel 6.6.47  (mainly to pickup a few critical pi5 changes.)
Update 32bit initrd to include udev rule changes.
