Github website crashes using chromium browser for BSP 6.1.55

[hankwang]

Hi ,

       We add chromium browser in the BSP 6.1.55_2.2.0 and test github website. The Chromium browser will be shutting down . We tested on i.MX8M Plus Evaluate Board.  Can anyone help?

Hi , Thanks for your reply. We follow the i.MX Yocto Project User Guide Rev LF6.1.55_2.2.0 document to build the bsp.

The instructions are as follows :

$ mkdir imx-yocto-bsp
$ cd imx-yocto-bsp
$ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-mickledore -m imx-6.1.55-2.2.0.xml
$ repo sync

$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mpevk source imx-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland

Add Chromium Browser on Wayland

Add this CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium-ozone-wayland" in imx8mpevk.conf. 

The path is at " /meta-imx/meta-bsp/conf/machine"

$ bitbake imx-image-full

When the bsp image is installed on the 8MP EVK board, you can follow the instructions to launch the chromium browser.

$ chromium --no-sandbox

Have a try to add this CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium-ozone-wayland" to conf/local.conf

Yes we did. So we can use chromium browser to work on 8M Plus EVK Board.

This feature command is added just to add chromium browser to the bsp image. It can be in local.conf or imx8mpevk.conf.

Hello, I have replied to you. Can you replicate the same problem?

[Harvey021]

Hi,

Yes, the same problem here, unfortunately, we don't provide support and test the patches.

May we know, would you raise this issue with the RD?

Hi @hankwang 

Gor reply from R&D as below.

For customer's case, users may need to add "--disable-gpu" to the command. 

show as following:

"chromium --no-sandbox --disable-gpu "

Disables GPU hardware acceleration. If software renderer is not in place, then the GPU process won't launch. You can reference the following ling about Chromium's issue and usage:

1.Headless: make --disable-gpu flag unnecessary - chromium

2.Chromium - ArchWiki (archlinux.org)

3. List of Chromium Command Line Switches « Peter Beverloo
