Building End-user Applications on Embedded Devices with WPE
summary
WPE is a WebKit port that runs full Web Platform apps on constrained Linux boards, shipping a stable public API, dma-buf zero-copy support to avoid copies, and GStreamer-backed hardware codecs so H.264/H.265 use platform decoders when available. It provides backend abstractions, a FreeDesktop backend and a small launcher (cck), runs on Raspberry Pi 3 with playable FPS, supports 64-bit (maintains 32-bit) and has initial RISC‑V work. headless rendering pointer-lock added recently
