Taking place February 4 & 5, 2023 in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software.

This year, Konsulko Group senior software engineer Leon Anavi will present Ups and Downs with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on Wayland, Weston and the Yocto Project.

Leon’s tutorial provides the exact steps to build-from-scratch core-image-weston, setup RDP and remotely access the embedded device using wlfreerdp (for Wayland) or xfreerdp (for X11) from a personal computer with Linux in the same network. Examples will be based on the kirkstone long-term support release of Yocto Project.

Leon will also discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of RDP as well as some troubleshooting guidelines.
