Running Slint Demos on Torizon#

Toradex provides TorizonCore a Linux based platform for its embedded devices that packages applications in docker containers.

We provide our demos compiled for Toradex as docker containers.

Prerequisites#

  • A device running Torizon

  • A running weston container

  • SSH access to the Torizon device

Running#

Our pre-compiled demos are available in four different variants:

  1. Compiled for ARM 32-bit as armhf and compiled for ARM 64-bit as arm64

  2. Compiled with Linux DRI or with support for Vivante GPUs (-vivante suffix)

A complete list of all containers can be found at

https://github.com/orgs/slint-ui/packages?q=torizon&tab=packages&q=torizon

For example to run the container on an i.MX8 board with Vivante GPU, use the following command line:

docker run --user=torizon -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp --device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw ghcr.io/slint-ui/slint/torizon-demos-arm64-vivante

Selecting Demos#

By default, the printer demo from /usr/bin is run. The containers however package multiple demos:

  • printerdemo

  • slide_puzzle

  • gallery

  • opengl_underlay

  • carousel

  • todo

  • energy-monitor

Run then by specifying them as paramter to docker run, for example:

docker run --user=torizon -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp --device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw ghcr.io/slint-ui/slint/torizon-demos-arm64-vivante opengl_underlay
