[meta-freescale] Error: Adding chromium browser + fsl-image-gui (Yocto - Dora)

[Somashekar]

Hi All,

We are able to integrate and build yocto(dora) with chromium browser, but 
hardware acceleration seems to be not working.

Could not play video from youtube.com, following procedure was referred to 
export WebGL libraries;  which we assume is required for enabling hardware 
acceleration.

- To enable rendering of WebGL do the following steps after boot.  Add the 
following lines to  /etc/profile or /usr/bin/google-chrome
export 
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGAL.so:/usr/lib/libEGL.so:/usr/lib/libGLSLC.so:/usr/lib/libCLC.so:/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so

- Start the Chromium browser
$google-chrome --use-gl=egl

(http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release.git/tree/imx/README?h=dora_3.10.17-1.0.0_beta)

After loading youtube.com browser shows an option to install adobe flash 
player, since it is for X86 machines we were not able to use it.

Please provide your suggestion on how to enable browser(chromium) to use 
hardware acceleration.

In the same project we have to change the screen mode from landscape to 
portrait.  Please let us know is there any configuration file or settings 
through which we can change the mode ?


Regards,
Somashekar

Hi All,

Bitbaking fsl-image-gui of Yocto-dora was successfully built and
desktop appeared at HDMI also we can utilize all the privileges which
are available in it.

Now we desired to add chromium browser, for which, following changes
were did with the earlier successful one:

1. build/conf/bblayers.conf:
BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-browser "

2. build/conf/local.conf:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium"
LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST="commercial"

3. .repo/manifest.xml
<remote fetch="git://github.com/OSSystems" name="OSSystems"/>
<project remote="OSSystems"
revision="fc3969f63bda343c38c40a23f746c560c4735f3e"
name="meta-browser" path="sources/meta-browser" />

After repo sync, fsl-image-gui was built. But while after parsing
recipes, it throws error as below:
