Chromium on IMX8

Giacomo_ — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 07:45:25 GMT

Hello community,
I am trying to compile the chromium-ozone-wayland based on Yocto hardknott (imx-5.10.35-2.0.0.xml) on IMX8MQEVK board, but the compilation fails with the error:

In my previous version (Yocto Warrior) I was able to fix it by adding this dependency:

DEPENDS += " mesa "

but this trick no longer works, has anyone successfully compiled chromium?
I know... There is no support for Chromium, I am just asking.

Hi,

I have the same issue (iMX8M Mini, using Zeus 5.4.47) , no solution found yet.
Can you tell me the exact version of Yocto Warrior (or actually the version of Chromium) you've been using previously?

Just wanted to have a look at the differences....

here you are my bbappend:

chromium-ozone-wayland_83.0.4103.116.bbappend

it contains only one line:

DEPENDS += " mesa "

Okay, thanks, I'll have a look

Just to let you know, I'm trying to buildby using this patch right now:

https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/issues/528

Seach for "0013-Only-DRI-for-x11.txt" and adapt to your code version.

But, it takes a while to build Chromium, I'll post my finding later.

Hopefully DRI isn't needed on iMX8 and Wayland.

Cheers,

Jeroen.

Backporting? Yes, I can evaluate this too, thanks.

Hi,

Building succeeded, I have chromium (83.0.4103.116) running now on iMX8M Mini, weston-wayland, and using the GPU of the iMX.

I'm using Zeus btw.

Performance looks good.

Still doing some testing, but I think you can take it from here

Jeroen.

Hi!

Thanks for pointing us out to the document. I've already gone through these steps.

Unfortunately, adding mesa to the depends, and building seperately still produced errors during do_configure().

Kind regards,

Jeroen.

Kudos to Jeroen (not the button only).

This is the way to go.

Thank you for helping!

Hi Jeroen,
Can you share,

Which BSP you used ?
How did you build (for wayland running on GPU ) ? , basically build step doc or pointers.
Any performance statistics or issues you found ?

Appreciate your guidance.

I've seen the similar problem when compile 117.0.5938.132.

And this problem has been resolved by following https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/issues/528#issuecomment-2123583852

Looking for the last if condition, add more condition "ozone_platform_x11" then recompile Chromium browser.

117.0.5938.132
