Because STARTING-URL is null by default, so the default home page of chromium is google. After system bootup, try to input something to serach box, the virtual keyboard doesn't pop out.
There is a workaround, set STARTING-URL = "https://www.google.com", then the wr-chromium-web-kiosk.sh will be:
==============
#!/bin/sh
# setting default display for chromium
export DISPLAY=:0
chromium --kiosk --start-maximized \
--load-extension="/usr/share/chrome-virtual-keyboard" \
--window-size=1920,1080 \
https://www.google.com (https://www.google.com/)
===============
Then the virtual keyboard will pop out when you try to input something in searchbox
1. setup.sh --machine intel-x86-64 --templates feature/chromium-web-kiosk --distro wrlinux --layers meta-browser --accept-eula yes --dl-layers
2. bitbake wrlinux-image-small
3. boot up target with image and connect to a touchscreen.
4. If default page is google, try to input something to search box with virtual keyboard.
