[iMX8] Yocto with FreeRdp

Technical Support

Hello There,

im trying to connect to my iMX8 remotely using FreeRdp. According to the wiki page:

it is applicable on iMX8.

I found the freerdp recipe and added the package through local.conf

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " freerdp"

the Image is built correctly. but in Linux it seems only “xfreerdp” is available and it didnt work. Since the iMX8 image uses wayland display protocol, i guess the suitable freerdp tool for it should be “wlfreerdp” right?
is there a way to use the freerdp protocol on iMX8 ?

Thanks in Advance.

Best regards, Majd

Hi @majd.m

I also tried to apply the PACKAGECONFIG for wayland, but when I did this, I did not have a CLI for freerdp. However, you should still be able to use xfreerdp on the iMX8 in general, even with Wayland (makes use of xwayland). I think the CLI of the application recently changed and the documentation you mentioned is still the old one. Could you try the following:

xfreerdp /u:"user" /p:"password" /v:"192.168.1.10"

Best regards
