Unable to launch weston on linux yocto from ssh
I have the error "no drm device found" as shown below. I thinks the mail error is fatal: failed to create compoitor backend. I have the following in my lib desktop-shell.so drm-backend.so fbdev-backend.so fullscreen-shell.so gl-renderer.so hmi-controller.so ivi-shell.so wayland-backend.so x11-backend.so

How do I launch weston on linux yocto?
Here is the image:
So.. I found the answer to my question it has three errors logind (systemd) was having trouble access the input keyboard type second one is drm device is not found which implies that you have trouble accesing your output port. try to troubleshoot the port make it accessible to the board and then try to launch weston with correct config.
NOTE: Weston wayland wont launch if you dont have keyboard or a mouse connected preferably a usb
