The psplash-drm userland splash screen is running and is then the DRM master, avoiding other DRM applications to access to DRM/KMS. Please stop this psplash-drm application with the command below before running your use case:

 psplash-drm-quit

Note: You may need to enter "export QT_QPA_EGLFS_ALWAYS_SET_MODE=1" before running your Qt application, please refer to the Qt documentation.

Maybe the GPU reserved memory area in the kernel device tree is not aligned with the board DDR memory size, please have a look at the "gpu_reserved" entry in the kernel device tree, and update it if necessary.

Weston is using pixman software composition instead of GPU hardware composition. This may be because you have not accepted the EULA at the beginning of the build...

 cat /etc/default/weston
#Autogenerated
OPTARGS=--use-pixman

Please comment the content of the file /etc/default/weston or delete it.

 systemctl stop Weston@root.service
Failed to stop Weston.service: Unit Weston.service not loaded.

Please remove the capital letter in the word Weston. The correct command is

 systemctl restart weston@root.service
 systemctl stop weston
Failed to stop weston.service: Unit weston.service not loaded.

Please use the full Weston service name "weston@root.service". The correct command is

 systemctl stop weston@root.service

Note: You can list all systemctl services with the command

 systemctl list-units
 weston-image mypicture.bmp
mypicture.bmp: unrecognized file header 0x42 0x4d 0x1e 0x51

"weston-image" small application supports only jpeg, png and webp image files. Please convert your ".bmp" image file into one of these supported image file formats.

Note: The official source code of "weston-image" is in the file image.c and the related error message is in image-loader.c.

GStreamer
There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

This message is typically displayed when the GStreamer A/V sync drops some frames. This may be due to a decoder that is too slow, badly timestamped buffers, or a badly formed container (.ts, .3gp, .mp4, .avi, ...).
To proceed with investigations, refer to the article How to profile video framerate.

Could not create Wayland display

HDMI TV not connected, please connect it.

Could not load BMP file

Make sure the loader of the bmp file format, libpixbufloader-bmp.so, is present in /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/. If not, remove /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache, copy libpixbufloader-bmp.so file from distrib build to /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/ then run "/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache" to reload loaders.
