[Enable Lima hardware acceleration]

General rules:  we only try to support our builds / work. That is already close to impossible due to lack of resources. When you are using custom build, support costs goes sky high and its again problematic to ask for support. Too much resources to understand what was changed. IIRC 3D support works OOB on Focal user land or higher. If you build image with our tools and enable 3D, it should work but I am not sure if there are 32bit packages for this. I know it works on 64bit. That's all i can help you here.

It is the local image downloaded from Armbian site. It's only using an preemptive kernel. linuxcnc software is just a package isntalled later. Putting this aside, let's assume I'm running a completely clean image (actually it is Armbian_21.02.3_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.10.21_xfce_desktop_h3) the problem is exactly the same. It's not anyone else build. I'm missing something?

Many other things can be wrong - like lack of most important data for example. @Werner have provided you link to some page where you have to go trough few steps to understand what is minimum requirements to ask for technical oriented help on this forum. Ofc you can also choose to provide no data, data you think is relevant or just vague description of the problem.

 

tl;dr; There is too little information about software you are using, so nobody with competence can give you valuable data. If you count on our supernatural skills of mind reading - don't know anyone around to have that 

 

Welcome!

You are right! I've been searching for help on too many places for too many time. Totally forgot this isn't the project forum. I'm sorry for the initial lack of information. I made an update to this topic giving some background and details about everything. Is there anything else I could be doing to make things easier?

[Enable Lima hardware acceleration]

Hi! I'm sorry, didn't noticed I had posted in wrong section, so here we go again!

 

I'm trying to activate X11 hardware acceleration on this board. It's running an RT PREEMPT Kernel from the project AllwinCNC  which aim to run linuxcnc software using ARISC core to generate steps in realtime. Unfortunately, I'm getting very bad performance in X11 with lima driver. It seems to be running on software and not the lima driver itself and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the graphics acceleration done in hardware instead. CPU usage is going to 100% and it is resulting in errors on the aforementioned CNC controller software due to this.

 

BOARD: Orange Pi PC 1GB

How can I have hardware acceleration on X11 using Lima? Is it possible?
