Chromium (see Deprecation notice below)
---------------------------------------
Add Chromium to a Wayland-based image:
- add the recipe to the image, e.g., by adding to local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " chromium-ozone-wayland"
- add the meta-chromium layer:
$: bitbake-layers add-layer ../sources/meta-browser/meta-chromium
Build server host requirements for chromium 74 version:
- Host gcc version should be gcc 7. Ubuntu 18.04 has a default gcc 7 version.
- Increase ulimit (number of open file descriptors) to 4098
Chromium will have compilation errors, if any of the above host requirements are not met.
Deprecation: Release 6.6.52-2.2.0 is the last release to build and test Chromium on i.MX 6 and 7. The problem is
Chromium no longer supports fbdev, which is required by the Vivante GPU drivers.
