Vulkan Tutorial 1: Introduction to Vulkan on Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Processors

We are pleased to announce the release of Matali Physics 4.3. The latest version introduces significant changes in support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan. Introduced changes equate the use of DirectX 12 and Vulkan with DirectX 11 and OpenGL respectively, significantly reducing the costs associated with application of low-level graphics APIs. From version 4.3, we recommend using DirectX 12 and Vulkan in projects that are developed in the Matali Physics environment.
 
What is Matali Physics?
Matali Physics is an advanced, multi-platform, high-performance 3d physics engine intended for games, virtual reality and physics-based simulations. Matali Physics and add-ons form physics environment which provides complex physical simulation and physics-based modeling of objects both real and imagined.
 
Main benefits of using Matali Physics:
    Stable, high-performance solution supplied together with the rich set of add-ons for all major mobile and desktop platforms (both 32 and 64 bit)     Advanced samples ready to use in your own games     New features on request     Dedicated technical support     Regular updates and fixes

Hi,
I have C++ Vulkan based project using Qt framework. QVulkanInstance and QVulkanWindow does lot of things for me like validation etc. but I can't figure out due Vulkan low level API how to troubleshoot Vulkan errors. I am trying to render terrain using tessellation shaders. I am learning from SaschaWillems tutorial for tessellation rendering. I think I am setting some value for rendering pass wrong in MapTile.cpp but unable to find which cause I dont know how to troubleshoot it.
Whats the problem?
App freezes on second end draw call
Why?

this debug helps somehow :(( I dont want you to debug it for me. I just want to learn how I should debug it and find where problem is located. Could you give me guide please?
Source code
Source code rendering just few vertices (working)
Difference between links are:
Moved from Qt math libraries to glm Moved from QImage to gli for Texture class Added tessellation shaders Disabled window sampling Rendering terrain using heightmap and texturearray (Added normals and UV) Thanks

Folks,
I tried to google Vulcan and sdl2 but they did not help so well.  I only found stand-alone or GLFW tutorials.
Does anyone have good tutorial about Vulkan with SDL2?
Thanks

Would anyone be able to point me to an object picking example with Vulkan using the render each object using a different color to a texture in a separate rendering pass and read those texture pixels to get the color value approach. 

I'm very new to Vulkan, and I'm starting to port my OpenGl apps over, and I use this technique a lot.
