Color Format

The default display format of Weston in the Buildroot SDK is ARGB8888. For some low-performance platforms, you can configure RGB565 in the core section in the weston.ini.

The following code block provides an example.

# /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
[core]
gbm-format=rgb565
# xrgb8888|rgb565|xrgb2101010

You can also configure the display format of each screen individually in the output section of weston.ini.

The following code block provides an example.

# /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
[output]
name=LVDS-1
# output name can be seen in the Weston startup log, such as: Output LVDS-1,
(connector 71, crtc 60)
gbm-format=rgb565
# xrgb8888|rgb565|xrgb2101010
