Using RDK/imx6 backend on an iMX8 with mouse/touchscreen support

[gvalcaza]

Hi all, I'm currently testing the RDK backend for WPE via the meta-webkit layer on the Yocto 3.0 (zeus) branch by compiling framebuffer images for a i.MX8-based board. I'm using the cog launcher and the imx6 version of the backend, and I can browse pages perfectly fine out of the box.

However, I'm unable to use the mouse or touchscreen to interact with the webpages. I have seen that the RDK/rpi backend code has additional code to support the touch and/or cursor, but this code isn't present in the imx6 flavor of the backend.

Is touch/mouse support available in any way in the imx6 flavor of the RDK backend? Or is it something that needs to be added by hand?

Hi @gvalcaza, I did not add it to the initial vivante-backend as I don't need it... But so it is possible. Feel free to look at the other backends and port it towards the vivante-backend.
