RPI UXPLAY Buildroot
hkfuertes opened this issue · comments
Hello, quick question. Can UXPlay run on a non X11/WAYLAND (lite image) raspberrypi image? I was thinking on create a "dongle" with a pi02w using buildroot, but before even starting I ask if you guys know if it feasable.
Thank you! And also thank you for this awesome project!
yes pi02w runs well on lite with no X11/wayland
use -vs kmssink for the frame buffer. see the README

A Pi Zero 2 W (which has 512GB memory) worked well when tested in 32 bit Bullseye or Bookworm Lite with 128GB allocated to the GPU (default seems to be 64GB).
In Legacy Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye), raspi-config "Performance Options" allows specifying how much memory to allocate to the GPU, but this setting appears to be absent in Bookworm (but it can still be set to e.g. 128GB by adding a line "gpu_mem=128" in /boot/config.txt).
