Vulkan on Wayland

VIM3 VIM3L VIM4 VIM1S with Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome Desktop and Wayland with 5.15 kernel supports Vulkan, you can follow this documentation to test Vulkan.

Only for VIM3/3L/4/1S with 5.15 kernel with Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 Gnome Desktop and Wayland.

Install Vulkan tools

Ubuntu 22.04

The default vulkan-tools doesn't support Wayland, so we rebuild it to support Wayland, you can follow the commands below to install vulkan-tools.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install vulkan-tools
wget https://dl.khadas.com/development/vulkan-tools_1.3.204.0%2Bdfsg1-1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i vulkan-tools_1.3.204.0+dfsg1-1_arm64.deb 

Ubuntu 24.04

sudo apt update
sudo apt install vulkan-tools

Check Vulkan informations

You can use command vulkaninfo to get the Vulkan informations.

khadas@Khadas:~$ vulkaninfo | less

Run Vulkan cube test program

You can run the Vulkan test program vkcube-wayland.

$ vkcube-wayland

You will see a rotating cube on the screen.
