The usage of one backend over other may impact graphic performance, but
it has no impact at all on other parts of the performance of a webapp
(like JavaScript performance).

It looks a bit strange that it complains with a "no default display
support on wayland" error when the wpebackend-rdk/imx6 backend doesn't
use wayland at all.

I tested it on a Wandboard QP with Yocto rocko and it worked fine for me.

Can you double-check you are using wpebackend-rdk/imx6 backend ?
That one is selected by setting on local.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/wpebackend = "wpebackend-rdk"
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-wpebackend-rdk = "imx6"


And rebuilding the image.

Then when the image starts, weston has to be stopped and cog launched
via a text terminal (or via SSH). To select the window size export the
env variables before launching cog like:

export WPE_INIT_VIEW_WIDTH=1280
export WPE_INIT_VIEW_HEIGHT=720
