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 parameter 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
