[lwip-users] [lwip] uVNC - VNC for microcontrollers

[Adam Dunkels]

Hi!

For those of you who don't know VNC, it is a remote display system that can 
be used to remotely display the screen of a computer in a window on another 
computer. Most people use it for working with a Windows desktop under Unix or 
with a Unix desktop under Windows.

Perhaps VNC could be a good protocol for interacting even with small 
microcontrollers? To try to answer that question, I wrote a small VNC server 
that can be used together with uIP on small 8-bit systems. If someone thinks 
this is interesting, I have uploaded the code and some info to:

I had a small demo server running as well, but it crashed yesterday :-( But 
the code can be run under FreeBSD and (probably) Linux as well, so it is 
possible to try it out nevertheless.
