[meta-freescale] meta-qt5 and WebKit2 examples?

[Erik Botö]

Hi,

I haven't tried the examples, but we can display e.g. google maps in a
webview on imx6 (eglfs). I'm not on latest meta-qt5, but I think it
should work there as well.

QtWebProcess seems to require a certain pixelformat of the
framebuffer. In order to get it displaying properly I pass fbpix=BGR32
on the kernel command line. I use a nitrogen6x with the 10" hannstar
display so I basically do this in the u-boot-boundary-scripts package:

diff -uNr git.orig/board/boundary/nitrogen6x/6x_bootscript-yocto.txt
git/board/boundary/nitrogen6x/6x_bootscript-yocto.txt

 i2c dev 2
 if i2c probe 0x04 ; then
- setenv bootargs $bootargs video=mxcfb${nextcon}:dev=ldb,LDB-XGA,if=RGB666
+ setenv bootargs $bootargs video=mxcfb${nextcon}:dev=ldb,fbpix=BGR32
 if test "0" -eq $nextcon; then
 setenv fbmem "fbmem=10M";
 else


Also, make sure you set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs when you run your app,
since using -platform eglfs won't propagate to the launched
QtWebProcess.

Cheers,
Erik
