HTML or PDF viewer on linux RT

Hi everybody,

I am creating a HTML report in my realtime application und Labview 2018 on a cAQ 9136 running the LINUX RT OS. I managed to install Firefox Portable and show the HTML-file on the screen by call Firefox with the exec command. It works very nicely. The only issue that I have with solution is that Firefox needs a lot of ram. The cDAQ has 2 GB of ram only and Firefox takes more than 0,4 GB.

 

So I am looking for a way to bring the HTML-file the screen unsing less ram. I did not find a HMTL viewer or a lighter browser which can be installed, because the LV RT OS is not the same as other Linux operating systems. Now I have found a way to install a HMTL to PDF converter here https://dokuwiki.hampel-soft.com/kb/ni-rt/linuxrt/html2pdf

 

I haven't tried this out, but I guess it will work. But then I will still need a way to show PDFs on the screen and there is a new problem.

 

Any ideas anybody?
