Hi Prabhu,
I'm using the kernel version 3.14.28.
Regards
Julio

Wondering what is the kernel version you are using? The problem does not seem to occur in linux-imx with 3.14 kernel.
Best Regards,
Prabhu

Hi Otavio, Prabhu,
The previous patch help to build the imx-gpu-viv module for the Linux-wandboard-rt. After testing, there is the following issue:
[ 3.692132] galcore: Unknown symbol swait_prepare_locked (err -22)
[ 3.701981] galcore: Unknown symbol swait_finish_locked (err -22)
These symbols are part of the linux-rt patch. To solve it, the EXPORT_SYMBOL directive was used at /kernel/sched/wait-simple.c. The board is able to show QT application using eglfs (no xorg). Attached the additional patch.
Julio

For this, it suggest to use the option defined by Otavio 5 month ago (patch-v2-0-5-dynamically-choose-between-built-in-or-external-vivante-gpu-kernel-driver#post8). MACHINE_USES_VIVANTE_KERNEL_DRIVER_MODULE = "0" in the local.conf file.

Ideally we ought to fix the kernel module source. Prabhu, is it possible for you to review the patch proposed by Julio? It seems good from my point of view and harmless for normal kernel as well.
