Following up on our episode about deploying static websites, we’ll explore how to leverage Chromium on embedded systems with SimpleSwitch™.
Prerequisites:
- SMARC module with RDP enabled for display sharing
- Skopeo login credentials (Watch Episode 5: Tooling of SimpleSwitch™)
Steps:
- Set Up Chromium Environment:
- Log in to your device and access the website, adapting Cog web browser setup instructions for Chromium.
- Install the Chromium container from our incubator store. Wait for container startup, and Chromium should be displayed.
- Load Your Static Website:
- Install a file browser for easier file management and access it on port 8081 using a web browser.
- Copy your static website files to the device using the file browser
- Serve the Website Locally using Python

Your application should be displayed and interactive – now running with Chromium!
