Linux/AM6548: Chromium bitbake error

PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X: Chromium-Wayland browser status

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X

Greetings! 

I am hoping to get more information regarding the Chromium-Wayland browser and its current status in the PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM65X. This forum post from late August seems to imply that the Chromium-Wayland browser should be working but I am also seeing the known SDK issue LCPD-13816 from the release notes. Is the browser currently functional? If not, are there any work arounds? My company and I are also  hoping to know why the browser is not currently working if this is possible for you to share. 

Regards,

    Hello,

    Chromium is not currently supported in Processor SDK 6.x due to some incompatibilities in the SW stack. Chromium should be functional in Processor SDK 5.x and I would recommend that as an option for now. We are looking for the best ways to reenable it in future SDKs.

    I hope this help you.

    I really appreciate you providing that information! Would you be able to direct me to a How-To-Guide or a validation script for trying out the Chromium-Wayland browser using the AM6 SDK 5.x, perhaps written for one of your EVM platforms?

    Hello,

    As mentioned in the following document, most of components (modules) that we include in the PSDK are openSource (FOSS) components including the chromium-browser. Therefore, we only perform limited and basic tests to make sure that they are functional.

    Using the PSDK5.3, power on the board and navigate to the folder "usr/share/qt5/examples/webenginewidgets/simplebrowser". Launch the simplebrowser app using the following command: "./simplebrowser www.ti.com" and run the html5 test by going to html5test.com.
