# KDE Yocto Demo Setup for FOSDEM 2023

This page provides the basic information about the demo setup that is available at the KDE stall at FOSDEM 2023.

## What You See

- a VisionFive-2 RISC-V development board
- a small HDMI screen
- a very basic KDE Plasma Bigscreen Session running with a few applications

What is the goal of this demonstration:

- show the state of the Yocto meta-layers
- show the extremely-WIP state of hardware porting to the RISC-V board (Kernel, drivers, graphics system and multimedia libraries are all moving targets with big patch sets)
- give an example of how such embedded boards can be used

## FAQ
- Why is the cool, Plasma Bigscreen adapted Aura Browser not running:
    - QtWebEngine in Qt5 does not work with RISC-V (fails to build)
    - there are recent patches from a few months ago to Chromium, which will make the Qt6 version available on the platform
- Why is Plank Player not playing videos?
    - Because binary VPU drivers are a mess ;) There is active work-in-progress work to get a fully HW accelerated GStreamer Pipeline running, but though it is close to working, we are not there yet
    - un-accelerated video looks okay though, but due to bugs in the QtMultimedia/GStreamer integration this does not work with Plank at the moment and priority for fixing this in Qt5 is very low on our side
- Why does the board not really come back when I press the power-off button?
    - hibernation support just was integrated in the last Kernel update 2 weeks ago, userland integration is an upcoming topic
