Touchscreen virtual keyboard options

Demo of Qt6 WebEngine on VAR-SOM-MX8 with Weston Virtual Keyboard

@khem has integrated Qt6 into the Yoe Distribution, so we have been experimenting with QtWebengine on a VAR-SOM-MX8 platform. Apparently, Qt works with the Weston input methods, where stock Chromium does not.

Notes on building/running

Yoe Build Setup

local.conf:

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " qtwebview-examples qtvirtualkeyboard qtwayland"

bitbake yoe-kiosk-image

Running

  • Open a terminal in Weston
  • /usr/share/examples/webview/minibrowser/minibrowser -platform wayland
