What is the reason it says
" * opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Couldn’t find anything to satisfy ‘x11vnc’."

Hi @asifalilu

Could you please provide me the full log file and also cat /etc/issue log.
is this a custom image?

This is not a custom image. Installed through toradex easy installer.
Is there any BSP available with vnc server for iMX7D 1GB?
Can we use windows IoT BSP for i.MX7 from NXP ?
It is successful to remote terminal monitoring through SSH also, but only terminal, not GUI.

Hi @asifalilu

Is there any BSP available with vnc server for iMX7D 1GB?

No, You have to customize the Linux image by adding vnc server packages(eg:x11vnc ). Please click here for more information on how to add x11vnc to custom Linux image.

opkg update && opkg install x11vnc not working for you??

Can we use windows IoT BSP for i.MX7 from NXP ?

No, we have not tested.
