When starting Chromium using the Terminal we get a lot of GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION errors when moving the mouse over the chromium GUI. If we build the same image for T30, we don’t get any GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION errors.
The output is the following:
sh-4.4# chromium --no-sandbox

Chromium works, but visual content is not updated correctly and it’s very slow.
What can we do to get rid of the
GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION
errors?
How can we monitor the GPU load and
check if hardware acceleration is
activated?
How can we activate the hardware
acceleration, if it’s is not activated
on the Linux image?
We want to build an HMI hardware (Touch-Tablet) that uses a browser (e.g. chromium) to display a website in kiosk mode, this website is used to operate production equipment. The website uses react and material UI and a lot of javascript. In future we want to show videos and documents too.
It looks like chromium is faster and even more stable than firefox, because of that we try to use chromium. If you can recommend a different better browser, it would be helpful.
We switched to morty branch (Toradex Version2.7) to use the recommended chromium recipe for Chromium 52.0.2743.76. It looks like that solves the GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION errors. But the performance still is not better, and some components of the website are not rendered correctly.
With chromium 67.0.3396.87 that is included in the LinuxImageV2.8 for IMX6DL it seemed that the website was rendered more correct except the perpetual GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION errors that lead to “clipping errors”.
What Linux Image do you recommend as base for further development 2.7 or V2.8?
What can we do to improve the performance?
What can we do to get Chromium on the latest LinuxImage V2.8 (rocko) with Chromium version 67.0.3396.87 to work?
Did you try out the steps I mentioned in the post above?

Since 2.8 is not released yet, we recommend to use 2.7.
What can we do to improve the performance?
First you need to find out, if the GPU is already used or not? If is not, then the hardware acceleration should be enabled. If it is already enabled, then check for the cpu usage, especially by java scripts? Which java version are you using by the way?
