Hi,
I’m using a Luckfox Pico-86 Panel (RV1106, 256 MB RAM) as a wall display for Home Assistant.
I know this hardware can’t run a full browser. I’m only wondering if a very minimal WebKit-based browser (kiosk style) is feasible — framebuffer/DRM only, no X11, just enough to load the HA web UI.
In the Luckfox SDK / Buildroot:
I don’t see wpewebkit, cog, or Qt WebKit options
QtWebEngine is obviously too heavy
I also can’t find a Qt WebKit setup that works on framebuffer for this SoC
Questions:
Is this simply not possible on RV1106 due to uClibc / graphics stack / SDK limits?
Has anyone managed to run any lightweight HTML/JS renderer on this platform or similar Rockchip SoCs?
Would switching to glibc or rebuilding Buildroot change anything, or is this a dead end?
If the answer is “don’t bother, use LVGL and build everything yourself instead”, that’s fine, I just want to be sure before going that route.
Thanks.
wpewebkit or super minimal browser on luckfox pico 86 panel
Hello, currently we haven't found any solutions for running a browser on the RV1106.
Among wpewebkit, cog, and Qt WebKit, I'm only familiar with Qt WebKit. It's highly likely that RV1106 with 256MB + SWAP won't be able to run Qt WebKit.
Switching to a file system with glibc and a package manager might make the installation of wpewebkit, cog, and Qt WebKit more convenient, but the default system usage will also increase, which may affect system performance.
