1 Wayland IVI Extension May 10, 2017 Updates in front of us Eugen Friedrich, Emre Ucan Graphics engineers, ADIT

2 Wayland IVI Extension

3 Agenda Short introduction of wayland-ivi-extension Current status of wayland-ivi-extension repository ivi-controller protocol update New challenges Xdg-shell support Using libweston Virtualization Resource management: not really new but still not realized 3 May 10, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

4 Introduction of wayland-ivi-extension Graphical content is produced from different applications Compositor is in change to combine it to a single view HMI Navigation Popup 4 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

5 Introduction of wayland-ivi-extension Wayland-ivi-extension provides an interface to control the composition and input routing Control is possible from an separate application which is not a compositor allows flexible implementation of window managers Allows using the same compositor across projects 5 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

6 Current status of wayland-ivi-extension repository Github project 24 closed, 3 open pull request in last year 6 contributors Most important updates deprecated APS s Complete ilmclient API: use ivi-application protocol direct ilm_surfacegetpixelformat: doesn t make sense for ilm surface pixel format is provided by the attached buffer Adaptation for weston 2.0 Renesas GPU stack has a problem, buffers are inverted Workaround reverts commit e050e2b4833e10093ccefd8ad77a6ef78d in weston Correct fix should be done in the GPU stack 6 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

7 ivi-controller protocol update Motivation for the update Reduce round trips between ivi-controller and compositor Simplify implementation of some ilm API s Remove unused parts of the protocol Simplify wayland object lifecycle Better error handling Introduce surface types Desktop compatible surfaces Restricted surfaces 7 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

8 ivi-controller protocol update (cont.) New features Visualize one surface on two displays Visualize one surface on one display in two different views Display hotplugging Predefined display IDs Display 1 Display 2 8 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

9 Discussion on the new protocol update

10 New challenges: xdg shell support xdg-shell is supported by freedesktop.org Freedesktop is building a base platform for desktop software Backend for application visible APIs as such: 10 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

11 New challenges: xdg shell support Desktop setup cmp Desktop-System map application xdg-shell xdg-shell «wayland compositor» mutter «window manager» desktop-shell libwestondesktop 11 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

12 New challenges: xdg shell support IVI setup cmp IVI-System map application ivi-application ivi-controller «window manager» ivi-wmanager ivi-application ivi-controller «wayland compositor» weston ivi-shell ivi-controller 12 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

13 New challenges: xdg shell support IVI with xdg setup cmp IVI-XDG-System map application media application xdg-shell ivi-application ivi-controller «window manager» ivi-wmanager xdg-shell ivi-application ivi-controller «wayland compositor» weston ivi-shell libwestondesktop ivi-controller 13 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

14 New challenges: xdg shell support ivi-application protocol does not offer much benefits: It is only used to assign surface IDs for application surfaces Every application has to be modified to include unique Ids IDs are not portable across projects xdg-shell offers: Easier integration of desktop applications in ivi system Support open source frameworks out of the box Existing desktop applications could be use as it is 14 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

15 New challenges: xdg shell support xdg shell is designed for desktop environment Some of the defined events and request are not applicable in ivi systems We still need to have surface IDs to be able to control surfaces from a HMI controller. Application will use xdg shell and will provide name ivi-shell can generate surface IDs ivi-shell can read IDs from a database Startup critical applications need special handling: default minimal scene Defined id and behavior for early apps 15 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

16 Discussion on the xdg shell support

17 New challenges: Using libweston We can use libweston instead of weston compositor We can create our own compositor with greater flexibility We can still reuse upstream core weston code Different versions of libweston could be installed on parallel Easier to maintain and update wayland-ivi-extension We can move ivi-shell code to wayland-ivi-extension repository We can stick with one version of wayland/weston for longer time 17 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

18 New challenges: Virtualization Complex systems Complexity affects a lot of hardware and software layers in the system 18 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

19 New challenges: Virtualization Another OS Genivi Linux Cluster App Tempo App Navi App Media App Each OS has it s own display Other compositor Request red content Weston One or several application content is shared from one OS to another Waltham receiver Waltham transmitter Bidirectional sharing of content could be required Provide red content Hypervisor Hardware Cluster display HMI display 19 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

20 New challenges: Virtualization Another OS Genivi Linux Cluster App Tempo App Navi App Media App All displays are connected to one OS Other compositor Request red content Weston All application content is shared from one OS to another, here from Genivi Linux -> Another OS Waltham receiver Waltham transmitter Provide red content Hypervisor Hardware Cluster display HMI display 20 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

21 New challenges: Virtualization Another OS Genivi Linux Cluster App Tempo App Navi App Media App All display are connected to one OS Other compositor Request red content Weston But Genivi Linux has controll of a hardware plane on HMI display Waltham receiver Waltham transmitter Each OS is able to display content on the display directly Provide red content Hypervisor Hardware Handling of application content is complex Cluster display HMI display HW Layer of HMI display 21 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

22 New challenges: Virtualization How virtualization affects compositor? We have to send and received content to a different OS and used it in the composition How virtualization affects ilm interface? HMI controller could need a way to find out if the surface is a remote or local surface This information is also required to forward the input event correctly 22 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017

23 Discussion on virtualization

24 New challenges: Resource management Are there enough resources in the system to display or render particular use-case? Do we need clear separation of resource and policy management? Support for sending and receiving content to a from different OS in virtualization environment 24 May 12, 2017 Copyright GENIVI Alliance 2017
