#1
Hi All,

I am trying to get debian wheezy xbmc( since it uses glibc-2.13.2( on board i got 2.14) on my ST310 based board with below spec.

Using ST's SDK2-20 with 3.10.65 kernel version, and arm-linux based rootfs for typical set-top-box environment.

Single core ARM ® Cortex TM -A9 application CPU at up to 1.5 GHz: – 3750 DMIPS – 512 Kbyte L2 cache

• Video decoding:– HEVC L4.1 (1080p60)– H.264 (1 x HEVC 1080p60 or 2 x HEVC 1080p30) – H.264 AVC, one L4.2 (1080p60) or twoL4.1 (1080i60/1080p30) streams – H.264 MVC, SHP @ L4.1—1080p30L30R – VC-1, MPEG4, MPEG2
• 3DTV display: up to 1080i60L60R or 1080p30L30R
• High-performance ARM ® Mali TM -400 MP GPU for true 3D graphics:– Up to 350 MHz – 700 Mpixel/s fill rate

When I run xbmc it throughs below error and stops.

root@b2204-h301_a9:~# xbmc
Error: unable to open display
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver.

Please consult XBMC Wiki for supported hardware

root@b2204-h301_a9:~#

Even though am using mali-400 drivers it is not comming up.

Please any one in the list help me ,what am I suppose to do to get xbmc running on my board.

Our plan is to cross-compile the latest stable version kodi with ST's toolchain, for HTPC kind of application on
our board.

Your help regarding this will be grate help for us.

Thanks and Regards,
Nagaraja.

You probably need to disable OpenGL and use egl instead.
What is your configure line?

Using the rpi Howto's as a base is probably your best bet
