Select the version of your OS from the tabs below. If you don't know the version you are using, run the command cat /etc/os-release or cat /etc/issue on the board.
Remember that you can always refer to the Torizon Documentation, there you can find a lot of relevant articles that might help you in the application development.
This guide describes how to enable a VNC or an RDP backend in a Weston Debian Container for Torizon. You can choose one of them at your discretion, but you can't use both at the same time. Both protocols can provide graphical access to a remote device, displaying your Graphical User Interface and transmitting the keyboard and mouse events. It can be enabled by passing an environment variable when starting the Weston container.
This article complies to the Typographic Conventions for Torizon Documentation.
Remote Weston via VNC
When starting the container, you just need to pass the environment variable ENABLE_VNC=1.
From the command line, that means adding the parameter --env ENABLE_VNC=1 to the docker run as explained on Debian Containers for Torizon. See the examples:
Pull the latest torizon/weston container image:
# docker pull torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON
Start the weston container:
# docker run -d --rm --name=weston --net=host --env ENABLE_VNC=1 --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG \
-v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' \
torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON --developer weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon
Pull the latest torizon/weston container image:
# docker pull torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON
Start the weston container:
# docker run -d --rm --ipc=host --name=weston --net=host --env ENABLE_VNC=1 --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG \
-v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' \
torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON --developer weston-launch \
--tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon -- --use-pixman
Pull the latest torizon/weston-vivante container image:
# docker pull torizon/weston-vivante:$CT_TAG_WESTON_VIVANTE
Start the weston container:
# docker run -e ACCEPT_FSL_EULA=1 -d --rm --name=weston --net=host --env ENABLE_VNC=1 --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG \
-v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' \
torizon/weston-vivante:$CT_TAG_WESTON_VIVANTE --developer weston-launch \
--tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon
On the client side, install your favorite VNC remote-control software and run the following command (change to your IP address):
$ vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>
When starting the container, you just need to pass the environment variable ENABLE_RDP=1.
From the command line, that means adding the parameter --env ENABLE_RDP=1 to the docker run as explained on Debian Containers for Torizon. See the examples:
Pull the latest torizon/weston container image:
# docker pull torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON
Start the weston container:
# docker run -d --rm --name=weston --net=host --env ENABLE_RDP=1 --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG \
-v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' \
--device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' \
torizon/weston:$CT_TAG_WESTON --developer weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon
Pull the latest torizon/weston container image:

Pull the latest torizon/weston-vivante container image:
# docker pull torizon/weston-vivante:$CT_TAG_WESTON_VIVANTE
Start the weston container:
# docker run -e ACCEPT_FSL_EULA=1 -d --rm --name=weston --net=host --env ENABLE_RDP=1 --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG \

On the client side, install your favorite RDP remote-control software and run the following command (change to your IP address):
$ xfreerdp /v:<IP_ADDRESS> /sec:tls
