Hi @FDuch.1​ ,

Maybe you can try to add the following layer to your build : https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser.

BR,

I have such an image built using the above named repo. I also had to add meta-clang (make sure to use the dunfell branch) and meta-python2.

T problem is the STMicro Yocto images use Wayland and not X-11. I can't get chromium to start, even though it is also built for Wayland. I keep getting a "cannot open display" error.

Also, be aware it will take over 3 hours for a clean build on a Core i9 with Samsung 980-PRO NVMe so make sure to enable/configure SSTATE and Download caches to reduce subsequent clean build times.

While I was able to build the image and get Chromium to somewhat start, it just hung and crashed after a few minutes with nothing displayed.
