On some SoCs (Amlogic and Realtek?) the libwayland-egl.so in RDKv6/7 is library provided by SoC vendor layer instead generic frontend lib provided by wayland and we need to fix/resolve that in RDK-8

RDK OSS

Currently RDK OSS does by default opposite of what wayland graphics guys tried to achieve with libwayland-egl.so split. RDK removes the generic libwayland-egl.so provided by Wayland because it expects it to be provided by platform-specific integration. (unless you explicitly use wayland-default-egl.bb recipe) . Should be changed once all SoC support this split mode

on Amlogic

This is current bitbake recipe used in current AH212 version as provider of virtual/libgles but also as RPROVIDES:${PN} += "libwayland-egl.so" , see see (access rights are restricted to aml licensees)

...

Since library is only provided as binary and not as source (access requires ARM approval Mali DDK license) we and RDK-M cannot investigate and action is fully on amlogic

since move to newer brcm wayland backend in RDK6 no issue

of that libe is

on Realtek

issue to be described

libs deps https://github.com/stagingrdkm/lgpub/blob/master/dac/templates/oe_4.0/rtd1319_libs.json

on meta-bolt-distro

distribution and base layer for firebolt native runtimes and apps

libwayland-egl.so should become part of base-layer. It is currently provided by wayland recipe but it is currently not installed in base-layer rootfs because it is removed as part of  following post rootfs image handling https://github.com/rdkcentral/meta-bolt-distro/blob/3c368153f4edb8bf8ae8c95fcec5c3ed995fcacc/meta-bolt-base/classes/base-bolt-image.bbclass#L40

The reason why it is still being removed because when testing we see application is not visible on Amlogic AH212 when using the libwayland-egl.so from wayland in Application container while it works when bind mounting libMali.so as libwayland-egl.so provider. (see Amlogic issue) so when that is fixed  we can move to thatmeta-bolt-distro
