Hi,

I would like to install web browser (chrome/firefox) on my board, currently TI demo matrix GUI is running.

Is it possible to run only webbrowser on my AM335x EVM SK LCD?

I just killed the matrix GUI app and run the QT5 chrome webbrowser using the following command, but is it possible to use run the web browser without QT5 ?

/usr/share/qt5/examples/webenginewidgets/demobrowser/demobrowser

Thanks for the support.

Hello Titus,

There is a chrome browser already installed on the latest versions of Processor SDK. It relies on wayland and doesn't require Qt5.

You can launch it with this command.
root@am335x-evm:~$ /usr/bin/google-chrome --no-sandbox --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --start-fullscreen --no-first-run --ignore-certificate-errors --kiosk --disable-translate --disable-session-crashed-bubble http://localhost:80/

Best regards,
Kemal
