meta-wpe is a meta layer for OpenEmbedded / Yocto environments. It provides the necessary recipes to build the WebPlatformforEmbedded components including the WPE WebKit browser.
The meta-wpe layer provides the OpenEmbedded recipes to build the Web Platform for Embedded (WPE) components. The WPE components can be found under the main github org: https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded
Components include:
- WPE WebKit - powerful low-resource embedded WebKit engine with Wayland support
- WPE Backend - Abstraction layer for WPE WebKit with support for MESA based gfx or Wayland/EGL gfx
- WPE Framework - plugin based framework for embedding C/C++ components and bridging the "web" world.
- WPE Framework plugins - various plugins from a DIAL Server, Compositor to premium app based plugins (NF, Amzn, etc)
The meta-wpe is frequently tested on reference devices such as Raspberry Pi and various other open-source boards.
Meta-wpe can be integrated into any OpenEmbedded based distribution. From the reference poky distro to the RDK-V distro, meta-wpe will easily be integrated into any distribution of choice.
To support different versions of OpenEmbedded, please find the respective branch names to match the OE releases. Note that older branched may have not been touched for a while and provider older snapshots of the meta-wpe components. If any support/updated are needed feel free to reach out through the issue tracker.
