I didn't use that confguration, but I have compiled Qt on an Atom with a Tegra chipset. I vaguely remember optimizing the video stack. By default it was using a CPU renderer, but I beulve the trick was re-compiling GStreamer to use the proper hardware acceleration. There may have been an environment variable involved in getting GStreamer to select the proper back-end -- that is to say GStreamer had it own envionment variable , not a QT_ one -- IIRC.
I am sorry I can't be more specific, but maybe that can get you in the right direction.
Also, I remember using the 'top' command and I think it being rather obvious who who the culprit was who was not using hardware rendering. Once I got it all set, even on that old Atom, it was doing 30fps with less than 10% CPU.
That said, in my experience linuxFB is extremely slow, never use it for video.
If you can't find the DRM device, then you are missing the Direct Render Mode drivers for it. That said, I've never used DRM without X.

Subject: [Interest] Qt 5.5.x & NVIDIA Tegra Jetson TK1 video performance issue
Hi Qt developers.
I have veeery slow video performance with Qt 5.5.1 and the video camera (frame rate about ~1-3 fps) on Tegra Jetson TK1 device, where the video stream writes via HDMI interface to the monitor.
My stuff is:
* Qt 5.5.1, cross-compiled himself.
* Tegra Jetson TK1 board [1]
* Logitech c920 USB camera (supports 1920x1080 @ 30 Hz) [2]
I compiled Qt with this C++ flags:
{quote}
DISTRO_OPTS += hard-float
QMAKE_INCDIR += /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include \
/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.8.2 \
/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.8.2/arm-linux-gnueabihf
TEGRA_TK1_CFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-a15 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -marm
QMAKE_CFLAGS += $$TEGRA_TK1_CFLAGS
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += $$TEGRA_TK1_CFLAGS

I tried to launch the QtMultimedia's Camera example (which does not use QML) via SSH connection
to the Tegra's device, like:
= using LinuxFB =
{quote}
$ ./camera -platform linuxfb:fb=/dev/fb1
{quote}
= using EGLFS via X =
{quote}
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ export
$ startx &
$ ./camera -platform eglfs
{quote}
= using EGLFS via KMS =
{quote}
$ export DISPLAY=
$ export
$ ./camera -platform eglfs
{quote}
Use of LinuxFB and EGLFS via X gives very slow video performance (~3 fps as I spoke before).
Use of EGLFS via KMS gives folloving error:
{quote}
Could not find DRM device
Aborted
{quote}
I found out in the google yours blog [3] from Laszlo Agocs in which Tegra Jetson is mentioned,
but there are no details about building, running and so on.
So, my question is:
* do you have any trics and recommendations how to properly compile Qt on Tegra Jetson TK1 (maybe requires another flags and so on)?
* how to run the GUI application properly with KMS and so on?
* how to check that are used the HW rendering instead of SW rendering of video?
BR,
Denis
