It should be possible, I'm working my way through this now. I did this with the PI3 B+ with success but a few things are a bit different using the PI4 with the new driver. I used 6by9 github project
X11_export for reference as it shows how to create an offline buffer using vcsm and get it's fd. The project also shows how to create an opengl texture from the vcsm fd. The part that isn't shown is to tie the texture to an opengl framebufferobject (fbo) which would be the last step allowing you to render directly to that offline buffer. You can get access to the offline buffer by doing a mmap.
by the way these are the list of valid import buf fourcc (EGL_LINUX_DRM_FOURCC_EXT) I was able to get EGL to query for using
eglQueryDmaBufFormats (I had to use eglGetProcAddress to use this function).
Code: Select all
DMA Supported Formats: 10
