1.2.2 Chrome Browser Installation

Due to compatibility issues, the release version of the browser cannot be installed directly, so you need to install the browser maintained by the Chromium team.

Step 1: Add the Chromium team’s PPA (for Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saiarcot895/chromium-dev
sudo apt update

Step 2: Install chromium-browser.

sudo apt install chromium-browser

After completion, restart the board.

1.2.3 Error Handling

If an error occurs during installation, you need to modify the kernel configuration.

CONFIG_SQUASHFS=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO=y
CONFIG_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
