Hello,
A customer running i.MX6 with a recent NXP Yocto build is asking for a browser with the following features:
1) https support
2) websocket compatibility with linux libwebsockets
3) json and javascript support
4) HTML5 support
The purpose is to stream a video to a 800x480 LCD from a camera providing MJPEG or from rstp server providing MPEG3 or MJPEG streams.
Our i.MX6 platform supports Linux Framebuffer. No X11, no Wayland.
As far as I understand, this should be a QtWebkit or QtWebengine browser.
Putting aside a possible performance issues, the questions are:
- if there are some out-of-the-box working examples with the above feature available in Yocto Qt?
- If not, could someone please outline amount of work needed to bring up the above capabilities using these examples as a starting point?
Thanks!
Regards,
Sergei

Hi Igor,
Chromium or Firefox are not option for us because they don't support Linux Framebuffer, only X11 or wayland. At least build for them failed immediately in my build tree with complain that X11 is not available.
Any other hints?
Thanks!
Regards,
Sergei
