Latest revision as of 13:40, 22 February 2024

This page contains information about building and using Chromium with the Renesas BSP.

You can choose between two versions: Chromium v116 and Chromium v109.

Please bare in mind that only Chromium v109 supports GPU Acceleration.

How to build Chromium 116.0.5845.187 for RZ/G2L,LC + VLP/Gv3.0.5

(1) Follow "3. Build Instructions" described in the Release Note until 3.1(5) .　
- RZ/G Verified Linux Package V3.0.3 Release Note (renesas.com)

(2) Perform the following steps to prepare the recipe for the Chromium build.

$ git clone https://github.com/kraj/meta-clang -b dunfell-clang14
$ git clone https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser.git
$ cd meta-browser
$ git checkout e75da7cc83393b174220b808d96f8f05ab7ad4d2
$ cd ../
$ rm -rf meta-openembedded/
$ git clone https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded
$ cd meta-openembedded
$ git checkout 116bfe8d5e5851e7fc5424f40da8691a19c5b5ee

(3) Perform the following steps to add Chromium build settings to the configuration file.

$ cd ../build
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-clang
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-browser/meta-chromium
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-networking

(4) Add the following lines to local.conf(build/conf/local.conf) manually.

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " chromium-ozone-wayland"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ntp"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho "
PREFERRED_VERSION_nodejs-native = "14.%"

(5) Run bitbake

$ MACHINE=smarc-rzg2l bitbake core-image-weston

Chromium startup command

⚠️ Note: You must have an input device (USB mouse or touchscreen) plugged in before you start the browser. If you do not, you will get a "Segmentation fault"

chromium --no-sandbox --in-process-gpu --use-gl=desktop https://XXXXX

Note: Currently, the HW codec and the GPU features has not been supported yet.

How to build Chromium 109.0.5414.74 for RZ/G2L,LC VLP/G v3.0.5 update3

(1) Follow "2. Build Instructions" described in Linux Start-up Guide until 2.1(5). Please make sure you have added the required layers: Graphics (RZ/G2L & RZ/G2LC), Video Codec (RZ/G2L).
- SMARC EVK of RZ/G2L, RZ/G2LC, RZ/G2UL Linux Start-up Guide Rev.1.01

(2) Perform the following steps to prepare the recipe for the Chromium build.

$ git clone https://github.com/kraj/meta-clang -b dunfell-clang12
$ git clone https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser.git
$ cd meta-browser
$ cd ..
$ git checkout f2d5539552b54099893a7339cbb2ab46b42ee754

(3) Perform the following steps to add Chromium build settings to the configuration file.

$ cd ../build
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-clang
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-browser/meta-chromium
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-networking

(4) Add the following lines to local.conf (build/conf/local.conf) manually

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " chromium-ozone-wayland"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ntp"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho "
PREFERRED_VERSION_nodejs-native = "14.%"

For RZ/G2L add these lines, too

DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " h264enc_lib"
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-chromium-ozone-wayland =" proprietary-codecs"

(5) Run bitbake

$ MACHINE=smarc-rzg2l bitbake core-image-weston

Chromium startup command

⚠️ Note: You must have an input device (USB mouse or touchscreen) plugged in before you start the browser. If you do not, you will get a "Segmentation fault"
