Hi：
I crosscompile the qt with -opengl es2,and copy the libqwebgl.so to my beaglebone , but still can't run the qml with webgl,
this is the log informatiaon:

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, webgl.

Are you sure you installed the plugin ?

HI：
I just copy the libqwebgl.so to /root/usr/lib/plugins/platforms/ ,and run the qmi app with -platform webgl,:

@feixu said in How to run a qml applicatiion with wegbl on a embedded system?:

I just copy the libqwebgl.so to /root/usr/lib/plugins/platforms/

Where does that plugin come from ?

hi:
after cross compile the whole qt5.14.2, I found libqwebgl.so in :
/qt-everywhere-src-5.14.2/qtwebglplugin/plugins/platforms/ .
then I copy it to my beaglebone : /root/usr/lib/plugins/platforms/

SGaist

Which version of Qt are you using on your device ?
You seem to be putting the plugin in a system folder rather than in a dedicated Qt installation,

qt5.14.2
2.You seem to be putting the plugin in a system folder rather than in a dedicated Qt installation,
yes，I use ti‘s sdk . qt cannot be installed directly on the bbb，need to be cross compiled on the PC
first，and copy to the board.
I saw Qt Quick WebGL platform plugin worked on a Raspberry PI:
https://www.qt.io/blog/2017/03/24/webgl-streaming-raspberry-pi-zero-w
Is qt installed directly on Raspberry PI:?

SGaist

The raspbian provides Qt but it usually is a bit behind the current version and thus most people cross-compile it.

As for your use case, where exactly did you install your cross-compiled Qt ?

@SGaist
Thank you for your continued help, this issue has been resolved.
this time I copy the whole cross-compiled qt lib to the board ，replace the prebuilt qt lib。
now it‘s working。
running qml in the web browser is really awesome~ I don't need a touch screen anymore

SGaist

Great !

Then please mark the thread as solved so other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)
