Applications can be rendered to any display via a unified virtual display. + +### Remote Virtio GPU (RVGPU) + +The RVGPU rendering engine, operating on a client-server model, creates 3D rendering commands on a client device and transmits them to a server device via the network, where the server-side device performs GPU-based rendering and displays the results. The meta-rvgpu currently supports x86, Raspberry Pi 4, and Renesas Boards platforms. + +### RVGPU Architecture + +![RVGPU_Architecture](images/Unified-HMI/RVGPU_Architecture.png) + +## How to Build + +Follow the [AGL documentation](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/master/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/01_Build_Process_Overview/) for the build process, and set up the "[Initializing Your Build Environment](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/master/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/04_Initializing_Your_Build_Environment/)" section as described below to enable the AGL feature 'agl-rvgpu'. For example: +``` +$ cd $AGL_TOP/master +$ source ./meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m qemux86-64 -b qemux86-64 agl-demo agl-devel agl-rvgpu +``` +After adding the feature, execute the command: +``` +$ bitbake <image_name> +``` +**Note**: The operation has been confirmed with the **agl-demo-platform**. If you wish to specify a different `<image_name>` other than agl-demo-platform, create a file named `<image_name>.bbappend` in the directory +``` +$AGL_TOP/master/meta-agl-devel/meta-uhmi/meta-rvgpu/recipes-platform/images +``` +, and then add the following line to the file: + +``` +IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " packagegroup-rvgpu" +``` + +After making this change, you will need to execute the following commands: + +``` +$ cd $AGL_TOP/master +$ source agl-init-build-env +$ bitbake <image_name> +``` + +## How to Setup and Boot + +For Environment setup instructions for each platform, refer to the following link in the AGL Documentation. +[Building for x86(Emulation and Hardware)](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/master/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/07_Building_for_x86_%28Emulation_and_Hardware%29/) +[Building for Raspberry Pi 4](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/master/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/08_Building_for_Raspberry_Pi_4/) +[Building for Supported Renesas Boards](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/master/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/09_Building_for_Supported_Renesas_Boards/) + +For Raspberry Pi 4 and Supported Renesas Boards, refer to the above URL for boot methods. +For x86 emulation (qemu), network bridge is required to enable communication with other devices when using RVGPU.

For example: +``` +ifconfig <your environment> 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 +``` + +## How to run RVGPU remotely +Prepare two images, one as the Sender and the other as the Receiver. +It is necessary for the Sender and Receiver to be within the same network. + +**Receiver side** +``` +$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/<your_UID> +$ rvgpu-renderer -b <your_Area>@0,0 -p <Port_Number> & +``` + +Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values: +- `<your_UID>`: Specify according to your environment, for example:1001 +- `<your_Area>`: Enter an usable area for example: 1080x1488 + With the following command, you can know the usable area. + ``` + $ journalctl | grep -i "usable area" + # Example Output: + Nov 29 11:42:53 qemux86-64 agl-compositor[259]: [11:42:53.166] Usable area: 1080x1488+0,216 + ``` +- `<Port_Number>`: Enter an available port number, for example: 55555 + + +**Sender side** +Create the following shell script **run_remote_app.sh** in any `<WORKDIR>` for a smooth experience. +``` +#!/bin/bash + +export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp +export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mesa-virtio + +# ------------- +# launch app +# ------------- +$@ +``` + +Save the file and run the following to start weston. + +``` +$ rvgpu-proxy -s 1080x1488@0,0 -n <IP_address_of_Receiver>:<Port_Number> & +$ <WORKDIR>/run_remote_app.sh weston --backend drm-backend.so -Swayland-0 --seat=seat_virtual -i 0 & +``` +Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values: +- `<Port_Number>`: Port set in the renderer. + + +After completing these steps, the Weston screen from the Sender will be transferred and displayed on the Receiver using rvgpu-proxy and rvgpu-renderer.
