|
Hardware accelerated raspberry pi client for windows PC.
|
|
It is more a proof-of-concept to show that OpenMAX can be used as a RDP viewer rather than a finished product.
|
|
There is no authentication, use at your own risk.
|
|
|
|
It uses a NVIDIA graphic card to encode H.264 video, and OpenMAX to display the video. It can achieve 1080P 60FPS RDP on a RPI with a relatively low latency of ~200ms on two monitors.
|
|
When the GPU is not accessible on the server, it falls back to CPU encoding at a lower FPS, around 10FPS depending on the CPU.
|
|
It uses DXGI for accelerated desktop capture in Windows 8
|
|
It can work in a Virtual machine in order to be a true thin client.
|
|
|
|
### To compile the client on the Raspberry PI ###
|
|
|
|
It needs the following packages. I started on a clean version of the Raspberian OS.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install cmake
|
|
sudo apt-get install libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev
|
|
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To compile ilclient:
|
|
```
|
|
cd /opt/vc/src/hello_pi
|
|
sudo ./rebuild.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To compile the RDP client:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/jean343/RPI-GPU-rdpClient.git
|
|
cd RPI-GPU-rdpClient/RPI-Client
|
|
mkdir build && cd build/
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### To run the client ###
|
|
./client <host> <port>
|
|
|
|
###To compile the server in windows###
|
|
- See the guide at https://github.com/jean343/RPI-GPU-rdpClient/blob/master/WindowsCompileGuide.md
|
|
- Optional, FFMPEG for a CPU fallback if the graphic card is unavailable
|
|
- Download FFMPEG from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/, need the dev and shared
|
|
- Set FFMPEG_ROOT to the root of FFMPEG dev folder
|
|
- Add the bin folder of the shared zip to your path, or copy the DLLs
|
|
|
|
### To run the server ###
|
|
./server monitor 0 port 8080
|
|
|
|

Want to be part of the project? Great! All are welcome! We will get there quicker together :)
|
|
Whether you find a bug, have a great feature request feel free to get in touch.
|
|
|
|
### Known issues and limitations ###
|
|
- There is no audio
|
|
- There is no authentication, use only in a local LAN or under a VPN.
|
|
- The software falls back to CPU encoding in a Virtual Machine, it is fast as it uses the x264 superfast preset, but the H.264 quality is reduced.

### NOTES ###
|
|
From https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update, update your pi:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo rpi-update
|
|
```
|
|
Update software:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
