I went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 90s, they had a Sandain image processor in the video lab then. I spent many all nighters patching that thing. It was actually part of why I wanted to go there. Someday I’ll have to get the VHS of that stuff into a digital format.
PM for this at MS. We do work with WSL but do not rely on it. Currently we treat it as another remote Linux machine, just setup SSH in WSL and we'll work
The initial report from last year has interesting, if sadly unsurprising, background on how/why so many of these embedded devices have wound up this way.
I've been puzzling over this all night. I think I finally got your meaning. I have an IoT focus so "target" doesn't have a negative connotation to me. :)
I've not tried anything with XServer on windows. What we showed in the blog post is setting export DISPLAY=:0.0 to the Pre-Launch command in the project properties. Then when the gui app gets launched from our session it pops open on the remote Linux desktop.
We're aware of that work of course but haven't tried anything with it yet. We were really focused on the remote compile. Since we only support remote right now to try it you’d have to setup an ssh connection to yourself. Hmmm...
Anyway, I'm very interested in how can we leverage Linux tools locally on Windows as part of this.
