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- Ubuntu 16.04 comes with a very much outdated version of usbip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
