OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for Firefox Browser
|
||
|
|
================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This layer provides web browser recipes for use with OpenEmbedded
|
||
|
|
and/or Yocto.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This layer depends on:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
|
||
|
|
- branch: master
|
||
|
|
- revision: HEAD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
|
||
|
|
- layers: meta-oe
|
||
|
|
- branch: master
|
||
|
|
- revision: HEAD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URI: git://github.com/kraj/meta-clang
|
||
|
|
- branch: master
|
||
|
|
- revision: HEAD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URI: git://github.com/meta-rust/meta-rust
|
||
|
|
- branch: master
|
||
|
|
- revision: HEAD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* python2.7 and python on host for HOSTTOOLS
|
||
|
|
- e.g. on newer ubuntu which doesn't install python2 at all by default
|
||
|
|
you need to install python-is-python2 (which will pull python2-minimal/python2.7-minimal)

PACKAGECONFIG knobs
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
* alsa: (detected automatically)
|
||
|
|
Enable ALSA support to play audio. It will be enabled automatically when
|
||
|
|
DISTRO_FEATURES contains "alsa". Note that Firefox's default audio backend
|
||
|
|
is PulseAudio, not ALSA. Although it's not enabled in official build, we
|
||
|
|
enable it by default to make easy to play audio without additional daemons.
|
||
|
|
When PulseAudio is running, it will be used instead of using ALSA directly
|
||
|
|
even if this config is specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* wayland: (detected automatically)
|
||
|
|
Enable wayland support. It will be enabled automatically when DISTRO_FEATURES
|
||
|
|
contains "wayland".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* gpu: (off by default)
|
||
|
|
Enable GPU acceleration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* openmax: (off by default)
|
||
|
|
Enable OpenMAX IL decoder to play H.264 video.
|
||
|
|
This features is confirmed only on Renesas RZ/G1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* webgl: (off by default)
|
||
|
|
Firefox on Linux doesn't enable WebGL against most GPUs by default. This
|
||
|
|
option adds a config file to enable it focedly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* forbit-multiple-compositors: (off by default)
|
||
|
|
This option allows to create only one GPU accelerated compositor, second and
|
||
|
|
the following windows will use basic compositors. Multiple compositor may
|
||
|
|
cause crash on platforms that doesn't support multiple EGL windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Runtime options
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
* The enviromental variable `GDK_BACKEND=wayland` is needed to run Firefox with
|
||
|
|
the wayland backend.
