SK-AM62: some question about Chromium and gpu integration

Part Number: SK-AM62

Hi Expert,

my customer enable meta-browser and do some modify and compile it.

But he found some issue about Chromium and gpu integration

such as the link

  https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/952437/am5728-chromium-in-sdk-06_03/3697674?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=chromium#3697674

He had to add --disable-gpu to the startup parameters of chromium-ozone-wayland to make it work

Does TI currently have any schedule to resolve this issue?

(fix gpu code stack or update chromium version...etc)

Thanks

Daniel

  • Hello Daniel,

    Our SW team is currently in the process of Kirkstone migration and we will be testing Chromium once the migration is finished. Out of curiosity, could you please share what errors you are observing when launching the chromium browser on AM62? I would like to pass the notes to our development team so they can use it as a test point for their validation. 

    Regards,
    Krunal

  • Hi Krunal

    The arago yocto version of AM62X is updated to Kirkstone
    Sounds like a work in progress
    Was it originally pre-ordered when it would be released?
    We need to know the timing here to arrange the plan

    Thanks

  • Hello Daniel,

    Kirkstone release is planned for 2Q 2023 and at the moment, I don't have exact timelines. However, I have added a wic image and it has browser enabled. I tested the below image on AM62 SK EVM and here are the instructions I used to run the browser:

    1) /etc/init.d/weston stop
    2) cd /usr/share/qt5/examples/webenginewidgets/simplebrowser
    3) export QT_QPA_EGLFS_NO_LIBINPUT=1
    4) export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1
    5) ./simplebrowser --platform eglfs

    Regards,
    Krunal

  • Hi Krunal

    Customer had done the twebengine performance test 

    1.

    More stable than the current version of chromium-ozone-wayland +weston
    The mouse dragging the image quickly does not trigger the weson/chromium signal when the screen moves. 11

    2.

    Just the performance test part of our quick map change
    It looks similar to the perofrmance of the current test chromium with --disable-gpu

    Thanks
