Introduction
X11 Extensions:
x-composite : This extension should support redirecting of egl Surfaces to x11 pixmaps too.
+x-damage
EGL / OpenGL ES 2.0:
eglDestroyImageKHR
Furthermore it should be supported to create an egl image from an x11 pixmap.
-Beagle board platform
+Platform with X11 and OpenGL
===
-If you have choosen the BeagleRenderer as rendering backend, than the following
-kernel module must be available too :
+If you have choosen the GLXRenderer as rendering backend, then the following
+Extensions have to be supported by the TargetPlatform :
-CMEM Module is needed, it can be downloaded from
+X11 Extensions:
-http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/linuxutils/index.html
+x-composite : This extension should support redirecting of egl Surfaces to x11 pixmaps too.
+x-damage : This extension is required to render surfaces only, if there content has changed.
-The EGL implementation on the beagle board should support the following egl config:
+GLX / OpenGL :
-EGL_SURFACE_TYPE = EGL_WINDOW_BIT | EGL_PIXMAP_BIT
-EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE = EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT,
-EGL_RED_SIZE = 8
-EGL_ALPHA_SIZE = 8
-EGL_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA = EGL_TRUE
+GLX_TEXTURE_FROM_PIXMAP :
+The following functions should be supported by the vendor specific graphic driver
+Furthermore it should be supported to create an texture from an x11 pixmap.
-Furthermore the application which should be rendered by the layermanagement, should initialize egl
-by the following steps:
-
-1. Get EGL Display
-2. Initialize EGL
-3. Bind API
-4. Choose EGL Config
-5. Allocate native pixmap Structure
-6. Allocate native pixmap space by CMEM_alloc
-7. Get physical address of native pixmap using the CMEM module, and assign the address to the native pixmap structure.
-8. Create egl pixmap surface using the allocated native pixmap.
-9. Create egl context.
-10. Make egl context with the surface as current.
How to build on different platforms
====================================
-If you want to build the layermanagement on your own platform than you have to use the following
-command line call:
+These conditions need to be met in order to build the LayerManager component:
+
+- CMake required (version 2.6 or higher)
+
+Building the LayerManager breaks down to the following steps:
+
+1. Pull the current codebase from the git repository to your target source directory [referred to as <source-dir>]
+
+ Example: git clone https://git.genivi.org/srv/git/layer_management
+
+ This should give you a directory called "layer_management" in your current directory.
+
+2. Create a build directory, e.g. IVILayerManagement_build [referred to as <build-dir>]
+
+ Example: mkdir IVILayerManagement_build
-make all [CONFIG=PLATFORM COMMUNICATOR=MyCommunicator RENDERER=MyRenderer]
+3. In <build-dir> Generate build system for your platform using CMake.
+ This step provides some customization options to configure build options.
-Example for Beagle Board:
-make all CONFIG=Beagle
+ Example: cd <build-dir>
+ cmake <source-dir> [optional_build_options]
+
+ For a full list of available build options in [optional_build_options] see "Supported Build Options"
-If you want you have to provide an additional platform definition file which
-should located at LayerManagerPlatform. The file should provide the following content :
+4. Start the build.
-MyPlatform.defs:
+ Example: make
-RENDERER=MyRenderer
-COMMUNICATOR=MyComunicator
+5. Install LayerManager on local system.
+ Note: This step will require root priviledges on most systems.
-CXXFLAGS = -Wall -fPIC -O2
+ Example: sudo make install
+
+The LayerManager may now be started by calling "LayerManagerService".
+

+ Example : export LM_PLUGIN_PATH= /usr/local/lib/layermanager
+
+LM_USE_SESSION_BUS enables the DBUS communication to run on Session bus instead of Systembus
+ default : disabled run on system bus
+ Example : export LM_USE_SESSION_BUS=enable
+
+Commandline parameter :

+ -h<verticalresolution> - default 480
+ -c<console debug level> - default 2 (only errors and info)
+ -f<file debug level> - default 0 (disabled) log file location is /tmp/LayerManagerService.log
