Vulkan on Wayland
VIM3 VIM3L VIM4 VIM1S with Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 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/resources/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.
Run Vulkan examples
Run Vulkan examples from SaschaWillems/Vulkan.
Build the examples:
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install -y cmake g++ libvulkan-dev pkg-config libwayland-dev xorg-dev glslang-tools wayland-protocols $ git clone https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan --depth=1 $ cd Vulkan $ git submodule init $ git submodule update $ mkdir build && cd build $ cmake -S .. -DGLSLANG_INSTALL_DIR=/usr -DUSE_WAYLAND_WSI=ON $ make -j4
