IMX8MP Chromium version

[clemntnxp]

Hello,

I have chromium v101 working well with Yocto and NXP kernel 5.15.71 but i need to upgrade the chromium version.

I tested with chromium 105 (minimum version requirement for me) but it seems that hardware acceleration is not working.

Is it possible with current IMX8 GPU driver ? How can i do ?

Hi @clemntnxp !

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

I think is possible to change the Chromium version.

You can change the source files of the meta-chromium of the Yocto project.

Answering to your question, We can´t be sure of the functionality of that version with the imx8 GPU driver.

You can try but we can't be sure of the functionality of the software please use our BSP as we provide

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+refs

https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/tree/master/meta-chromium

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/

Best Regards!

Hi @Chavira ,

I tested version 105 but I have some errors when starting chromium which show that GPU is not working well...

Any idea ?

Thanks.

I also try version 106.0.5249.119 but same errors.

Can I have a roadmap for the next BSP update with Chromium version upgrade please ?

[Chavira]

Hi @clemntnxp!

The last BSP was released 3 days ago and has the version 101.0.4951.54

Best Regards!

Hi Chavira,

Yes I use it already but i wanna know when the next release with new chromium upgrade will be available if possible ?

Thanks.

[Chavira · Accepted solution]

Hi @clemntnxp!

We release a new BSP every 3 months, but I can't know what version of Chromium will be implemented on the next BSP.

Best Regards!

Don't want to stress..., but i could use a new version too.

There are a few new features in the newer chromium version that I want to use.

But the patches provided in your layer are not longer compatible...
