• Format your newly created partition with ext3 file system

• Create a folder for mounting your new partition at /ext_hdd
• Mount your newly created hard disk partition to /ext_hdd

STEP 5: Copy a video file to your file system to be used for emulator video playback.

• Pre-requisite to the step is assumed that /ext_hdd is already mounted with the external hard disk partition on your emulator VM
• Copy your video file from your host machine to /ext_hdd folder on the emulator VM 
• Note: The following command is performed from your Host Machine

Usage Instructions

Logging into your VM

As described in the previous section, you can log in to your emulator VM from your Host Machine using the ssh command.

Testing Westeros compositor using test application

RDK emulator supports westeros compositor and renderer module as westeros-renderer-gl. Do the following to check westeros animation using westeros_test command line utility.

• After logging in to the Emulator via ssh, kill the already running compositor application via below command

$ killall westeros

• Restart the Emulator VM
• Run following commands in terminal for manual starting the westeros compositor application

$ mkdir -p /run/user/0
$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0/
$ westeros --renderer <renderer module> --display <socket-name> &
$ westeros --renderer /usr/lib/libwesteros_render_gl.so.0.0.0 --display WPE &
$ gdisplay start
$ export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=WPE

for Dunfell Emulator
---------------------
$ mkdir -p /run/user/0
$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0/
Add the below line in westeros-init.sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwesteros_gl.so.0.0.0
$ westeros --renderer /usr/lib/libwesteros_render_gl.so.0.0.0 --display WPE &

westeros-init.sh
westeors_test

westeros compositor will launch

Testing Westeros_compositor

to test westeros compositor with simple egl test apliaction

# After Launching westeros compositor in emulator
$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0/
$ export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=WPE
$ westeros_test
(or)
$ westeros_test --display WPE

Testing Videosink on Westeros Compositor

$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0/
$ export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=WPE
