gpuhal_app does not show render device

Post by n.hristov »

I have TVS872XT with firmware version h5.0.0.1892.
I am very pleased to say that everything is working fine with some tinkering.
My external GPU is transcoding fine with Plex
The /sbin/gpuhal_app however is not showing the render device of the external GPU.
Let me show you what I mean:

Code: Select all

gpuhal_app -l
0:Intel Corporation:UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop):internal:2
1:NVIDIA Corporation:TU116 [GeForce GTX 1650]:external:7

Code: Select all

gpuhal_app -s 0
active_status=2,real_status=2,driverqpkg=None,driver_installed=1,in_used=HD_Station,transcode=1,display=1,pcie_slot=-1,pcie_vp=0,va_type=i965

Code: Select all

gpuhal_app -s 1
active_status=2,real_status=2,driverqpkg=NVIDIA_GPU_DRV,driver_installed=1,in_used=HD_Station,transcode=1,display=1,pcie_slot=1,pcie_vp=1,va_type=none

Code: Select all

gpuhal_app -T 0
2//dev/dri/renderD128

Code: Select all

gpuhal_app -T 1
0/0
That last one should show /dev/dri/renderD129 but it is not showing it.
The device is there and it is working fine.
My guess is that because of this some of the programs do not use the external GPU for transcoding.
Anyone have an idea why gpuhal_app is not showing this correctly?
