Hi,
I declare victory over the initial porting of AGL to Raspberry Pi 4. My tests with AGL master from today show that:
Home screen boots successfully
HDMI works
The official 7" rpi touchscreen display works over DSI
Ethernet works
WiFi works
Bluetooth works
I still observe issues with the sound from media player app https://lf-automotivelinux.atlassian.net/browse/SPEC-2666#icft=SPEC-2666 which are generic for rpi as a platform. I've also noticed that lightmediascanner doesn't start properly on first boot but this seems to affect both rpi3 and rpi4. I will report this in a separate JIRA issue and investigate it further.
Best regards,
Leon
Hi,
I have updated the AGL wiki article about Bluetooth following the recent changes for Raspberry Pi 4.
Best regards,

Hi,
@Jan-Simon Moeller, thank you for contributing the patch that enables v3d and dependencies in Mesa. I confirm that now AGL master works better on rpi4. Following your feedback about the WiFi issues I have submitted a couple of fixes for a review in Gerrit:
As @Stephane Desneux noted a few days ago in a Gerrit code review, just for the record, I would like also to mention here in JIRA, that the merged update of Mesa to 19.1 is required only for Raspberry Pi 4 and it is a temporary solution until AGL moves to a new releases on the Yocto Project. The new releases will have appropriate Mesa version and the current temporary solution will be no longer needed.
Best regards,
Leon
Hi,
With the release of the new and more powerful Raspberry Pi 4 I think we need to support it in AGL. I have already started working on this. Raspberry Pi 4 is supported in master of meta-raspberrypi and I have work in progress changes for porting it on top of branch thud for meta-raspberrypi: https://github.com/leon-anavi/meta-raspberrypi/tree/thud
My plan is to integrate the required changes in AGL Yocto/OE layers as we did before for the previous versions of Raspberry Pi.
Thanks,
Leon
