AM5728: Android WebGL support

Rajaneesh Mutyalapati

Part Number: AM5728

Hi ,

We are using AM5728 EVM with latest TI Android SDK.

We were trying to run a html page that has some WebGL code behind it. The code runs fine on chrome browser in a desktop.

We are getting WebGL support missing errors and all gl calls returning null and WebGL support NOT AVAILABLE on TI EVM & Extended Monitor. Root cause, we are not able to set values to textures within WebGL because WebGL is NULL, gl reference is not available in WebUI running on extended monitor.

--------------------

I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(361)]“Checking If WebGlSupports”

I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(374)] "Your browser or device may not support WebGL.", source: file:///android_asset/WebUI/assets/js/init.js(374)

I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(374)]Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'textures' of null“.. Unable to find WebGL Textures.

-------------------

Any help in this direction is appreciated.

Hello Rajaneesh,

To verify: By latest TI Android SDK, do you mean Android SDK 4.3?

Regards,
Nick

It is version 4.03 released on March 24, 2018. http://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X

Hello Rajaneesh,

TI did not run the Android compliance test suite on version 4.03, which would have determined if we expected Chromium to work as expected. We do not test WebGL.

What steps did you go through to enable WebGL in Chromium?

Regards,
Nick

To add,

Our SDK includes default applications from AOSP( test browser). Android Oreo (based of AOSP) test browser doesnt support webGL.

If you have integrated and using chrome, ensure webgl option is explicitly selected in chrome settings.
