I’ve already install chromium driver and browser and using X11 , what is the problem?

also tried --disable-gpu, it wont work

Hi,
Please check whether the application depends on WebGL. It may not work properly since WebGL is not supported on Jetpack 5.

I already have chromium installed as you suggested in this post: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/webgl-support-on-orin/258873/6
but I’m using xavier nx, maybe that’s the reason why electron app cant run? what if I use orin nx, will it be differrent? or will electron can run smoothly ? if so I’m going to buy a orin nx dev kit.

Hi,
We don’t validate this software stack on default Jetpack release, so it is uncertain if it works or not. For developing graphics use-cases, we would suggest refer to the samples in

/usr/src/nvidia/graphics_demos

And also can use jetson_multimedia_api. There is a reference code:

/usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/samples/common/classes/NvEglRenderer.cpp

Would suggest develop the use-case based on the reference samples.
