Description:
WebGPU is not available in the latest FydeOS 21 on RPI 5.
I have installed a fresh fydeOS 21 on the RPI and am trying to use web applications leveraging the WebGPU feature. I have activated proper flags in Chromium:
- enable-vulkan
- enable-unsafe-webgpu
- enable-webgpu-developer-features
In the chrome://gpu/ page, everything is in order:
- Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
- Video Encode: Hardware accelerated
- Vulkan: Enabled
- WebGL: Hardware accelerated
- WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
- WebGPU: Hardware accelerated
No policies are active.
When I try to call an adapter from JS code, I get a message: Error: requestAdapter returned null - this sample can't run on this system.
Can anyone help with a solution?
