Built Yocto (Poky fido branch) linux distro for Raspberry Pi 2 following this excellent tutorial Part 1.

Now trying to run Chromium.

Added meta-browser to my bblayers.conf

Added chromium recipes to my .bb image file.

Was able to compile and build my image but getting these errors when trying to run:

--use-gl=egl

I'd be very interested to have it working with hardware acceleration

root@raspberrypi2:/usr/bin/chromium# export DISPLAY=:0.0 && ./chrome --no-sandbox --use-gl=egl

Any pointers are welcome.

Perhaps this helps....from my "ps" slightly different platform.

This was launched from a desktop icon "/bin/sh /usr/bin/google-chrome" which in turn set all the variables seen in the following threads.
