Description
I get this when I run any of the /opt/vc/bin programs:
- ./tvservice -s
[E] Failed to initialize VCHI (ret=-1)
- ./vchiq_test -s abcd -f 1
Functional test - iters:1
======== iteration 1 ========
vchiq_test: 615: vchiq_initialise(&instance) != VCHIQ_SUCCESS
I ran strace on the latter and got this:
open("/dev/vchiq", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
I think the problem here is that I upgraded to the 3.10.y kernel but didn't rev the RPi firmware. I need to rev the latter and try again, then try rev'ing the kernel to HEAD and see if that's working yet. Previously it was thought it wasn't working because of boot problems with usb drivers, but that may not really be the case.

Updated rpifw to master. Ran tvservice -s and got a slightly different result:
# ./tvservice -s
vchiq_lib: Incompatible VCHIQ library - driver version 6 (min 3), library version 2 (min 2)
[E] Failed to initialize VCHI (ret=-1)
Not sure what this means but a google search seems to say its not a problem. But tvservice still doesn't work. So I'm upgrading the vchiq libraries (gles target) and trying again.
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- % Done changed from 10 to 80
That did the trick. When I run tvservice -s now I get the correct output.
# /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s
state 0x120016 [DVI DMT (83) RGB full 16:9], 1600x900 @ 60Hz, progressive
Now I can go back to RM#240 and see if this displays useful info when the HDMI is not plugged in.
Still need to check in the updates. Then I'll close this issue.
Updates pushed upstream.
I want to do one more clean build of the whole system (sans toolchain) to make sure this is actually fixed correctly. I know bumping to master for the gles and rpi firmware is the fix, I just want to make sure it's been done correctly in the build.
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
- % Done changed from 80 to 100
Verified - a new build comes up just as expected and tvservice works.
Closing issue.
