VNC server in Petalinux - can't find

rscasny

I have a member who needs some help regarding VNC Server in petaLinux.

He's tried to find the VNC server enabled Image but could not find it.

Can anyone help?

  • Hi Randall,

    I have not used PetaLinux so cannot comment if there is a pre-built version of a VNC server, but from working with Linux for many years, it's very rare to need such a thing (and the same would apply to PetaLinux).

    Here are three better options:

    (1)  An alternative is to use a SSH client to connect to the device. It is way faster, and more productive. This solves things for command-line applications.

    (2) For the rare occasions that a graphical application needs to run, then there is always the option to run an X server. There is a free one here:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

    and it works very well. This would work with all Linuxes, including PetaLinux, because X is a standard.

    (3) If speedy graphical applications need to be run, then nothing beats a local display monitor connection, e.g. HDMI, if the device has such a connection (VNC is too slow in comparison).
