Hi @jeremias.tx
hi @leon.tx

I’ve just seen this commit on toradex/github.
It’s related to GPU acceleration in Chromium for iMX8 platform.
Great news!
I rebuilt the chromium container for iMX8, and so

ARG IMAGE_ARCH=linux/arm64

ARG BASE_NAME=wayland-base-vivante

ARG IMAGE_TAG=3

Now I see some promising messages in the log of the container:

I say promising because now, for the first time, I see that chromium tries to use the GPU.
Chromium is not shown on the display, but I think this is for the errors.
Now I think that the focus can be moved to the investigation of these errors.
I found some topics that seems similar to what happens:

Do you agreee to what I wrote?
Thanks
