VNC server for Linux framebuffer devices.

[] (https://travis-ci.org/ponty/framebuffer-vncserver)

The goal is to check remote embedded Linux systems without X, so only the remote display is implemented. (no input, no file transfer,..)

The code is based on a LibVNC example for Android: https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/blob/master/examples/android/jni/fbvncserver.c

All input handling was removed, command-line parameters port and fbdev were added. In 32 bit color only half of the screen was displayed, so I hacked the code to show the full screen, but I don't know how it works.

build

Dependency:

sudo apt-get install libvncserver-dev

There are 2 options: CMake or qmake

Using cmake:

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Using qmake:

mkdir -p build && cd build
qmake ../framebuffer-vncserver.pro
make

command-line help

# framebuffer-vncserver -h

-p port: VNC port, default is 5900
-f device: framebuffer device node, default is /dev/fb0
