Keyboard not working on retroarch menu and games

RetroArch General
#1

Hi to all,

[this part was (maybe) solved, please help on mi last port here: http://www.libretro.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2329&p=17127#p17127]

I’m trying to compile RetroArch on my BananaPi board. It’s an ARM (armhf) based board on chip A20. (details: http://www.lemaker.org/). I’m using this line to configure, based on Lekka config files (BananaPi board) and CFLAGS on cubieboard2:


 CFLAGS="-mcpu=cortex-a7 -mtune=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -ffast-math -Ofast" ./configure --disable-vg --disable-ffmpeg --disable-sdl --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --enable-gles --disable-kms --enable-neon --enable-fbo --enable-mali_fbdev --enable-lakka --enable-freetype

And after that, here the error:

Syrtem is Raspbian 3.1 (for BananaPi). I’ve installed sunxi-mali as well.

Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hello!

After some corrections, I was able to compile it. I’ve compiled imame4all-libretro as well. Now executing a rom I get an error:

* failed to open vchiq device

What is this device for? On my board (banana pi) there is no such a device.

Thanks for help!

Simon

#3

Hmm. That’s weird, but it could be a permissions issue, according to this: https://digitalchild.info/raspberry-pi- … ce-solved/

#4

i think the problem is this device does not exist on this board… its a banana pi board and not raspberry .

i have no idea how to solve it…

any idea?

#5

Is there someone that cound help me? I’ve tried to delete the entry ‘–lvchiq_arm’ on "GLES_LIBRS in’ the “config.mk” file as well. Same result :frowning:

Simon

#6

It looks like that device is related to CPU>GPU communication…? Since it’s missing in this case, the bananapi drivers don’t have opengl acceleration, so you’ll probably need to use SDL for your video driver instead of gl.

#7

SDL means via X11? This should decrease a lot the performances, seems… I get only “gl” and “sdl2” as video options. Any experience with “lima”.

#8

yeah, that would be via X11, and it would indeed hurt performance. I unfortunately do not have any experience with the lima driver.

Have you tried running the Lakka distro on your board?

#9

lakka I’ts a little buggy on menu navigation. It doesn’t show the first 10 menus :frowning: What I would need is an emulator but on demand… when not needed I need a board with some features like ssh server, perl to execute some background script and a web browser. I don’t think Lakka can offer this, because it’s a tiny image. Or not?

Meanwhile SEEMS i got something to work, but the keyboard is not responding. I’ve compiled imame4all-libretro as core. I’m starting in from within a terminal into X11 Desktop as root.

Here the retrarch features and the error:

Maybe try changing input_driver from udev to linuxraw or sdl/sdl2 in your retroarch.cfg.

#11

I’ll try this and let you know. Neanwhile I’ve tried to start over with a fresh new installation and getting a new error on the compilation. Maybe the git repo was updated? I’ll ask on a new thread and update this tomorrow with your suggesions.

Thanks

Simon

Hello!

Here again! Well, the input_driver set to ‘linuxraw’ doesn’t start at all. Using sdl2 it starts, the menu is displayed (I’m launching only retroarch --menu) . I can navigate the menu but it is EXTREMELY SLOW. I press arrow down and it answer me after 4-5 seconds or more…

Here the log:

#13

Hi again…

I’m trying as many options as possibile, but cannot figure out how to improove this. Could you tell me which video_driver should I use (even with rec-compilation of the sources) to try retroarch from terminal without X11?

AFAYK seems the only solution to gain performance against SDL/SDL2 on X11.

Thanks

Simon

#14

You’ll need to --enable-kms at compile-time, though it’ll probably have some complaints on bananapi. It works on rpi, though, so maybe not /shrug

#15

Hello!

I’ve done a lot of steps forward. Now, reinstalling under Arch Linux seems much better. Windowed in X11 is fluid but in fullscreen is slow. I’ve compiled it with KMS support as well, but setting:

video_driver=“kms”

And starting it from terminal console (not X11)

I obtain:

#16

If you set the driver to opengl and try to launch from console, it should automatically use KMS/EGL. KMS/EGL is a context rather than a driver, which explains why it’s not allowing it as an option there.

#17

Hello hunterk

It doesn’t work, setting it to “gl”, even if I can see the KMS like you said:

#18 
RetroArch [ERROR] :: gfx_ctx_init :: [KMS/EGL]: Couldn't find a suitable DRM device.

This suggests to me that your display driver doesn’t support KMS/EGL contexts.
