Overview

Working

• Internet via RNDIS
  • View UBPorts: Reverse Tethering

Partially Working

• Keyboard and Mouse via USB/IP
  • View ubuntuusers: USBIP
  • Ubuntu Touch comes without the usbip binary and the vhci-hcd kernel module
  • Ubuntu 16.04 comes with a very much outdated version of usbip
    • usbip 0.1.7 ($Id: vhci_attach.c 42 2007-09-07 12:07:51Z hirofuchi $)
  • Tested on a normal PC with Ubuntu 22.04 however and that works

Work in Progress / Ideas Welcome

• Use HDMI display of rpi as virtual display of UT device
  • Could evdi be a solution?
  • My idea right now:
    • Switch to a VT on Raspberry Pi that only shows a full screen image and refreshes that image whenever a new one is received over the network.
    • Run a service on Raspberry Pi that publishes that display as a virtual display that can be used from UT
