Since we've figured out how to cross-compile our own binaries, we were able to compile a VNC solution for the Quad Cortex. The VNC server we compiled is based on this project. We had to modify the source code a bit to make it work with the touchscreen, But besides that, it is identical.
Note: when connected to the QC over VNC, you might notice a dip in framerate on the device itself. This is normal. It is the device trying to encode the video feed and struggling. Note: Installer and auto-run on boot will be added later, For now you can use it the manual way
In the External VNC folder you will find the files qc_vnc and libvncserver.so.1. Move these to the following locations on the QC:
- qc_vnc:
/bin - libvncserver.so.1:
/lib
That's it. You can now start the server!
qc_vnc -f /dev/fb0 -t /dev/input/event0
