Chromium crashes at start on iMX93 EVK - Yocto Rev: LF 6.6.23_2.0.0

[abt]

Hi,

I have encountered an issue with Chromium that was build using Yocto Rev: LF6.6.23_2.0.0 for iMX93 EVK (MCIMX93-EVK). 

My build scenario:

Added CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium-ozone-wayland" to conf/local.conf

DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk source ./imx-setup-release.sh -b ./builddir

bitbake imx-image-multimedia

After deploying the build to iMX93 EVK, chromium crashes with the following output:
chromium --no-sandbox
[0227/174608.541667:ERROR:file_io_posix.cc(144)] open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory (2)
[0227/174608.541847:ERROR:file_io_posix.cc(144)] open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq: No such file or directory (2)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Anyone encountered a similar problem, any idea how to fix this issue?

Chromium runs OK when built with Yocto LF 6.1.55-2.2.0

Thanks in advance.

Hi @abt,

Thank you for report this issue.

I would like to share the solution from our team.

Please use the following command to run Chromium:

cd /usr/lib/chromium && ./chromium-bin --use-gl=egl --ozone-platform=wayland --disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor --no-sandbox

This command should work to run Chromium successfully on i.MX93 with the BSP version 6.6.23_2.0.0.

Thanks brian14. That workaround worked, I am able to run chromium now using LF 6.6.23_2.0.0
