这里的 arm-linux 裸机指的是，只有基本 Ｃ 库和安装了 busybox 的嵌入式系统，没有 X11 或者 wayland 作为底层支援。
这里的实现是基于 framebuffer 的，是将用于 LCD 显示的 /dev/fb* 设备中数据进行了拷贝(其实是 mmap 进行了数据共享，是直接取了 framebuffer 数据缓存)，并通过 VNC 协议外发。本文只记录了一个没有键盘鼠标的，基于 framebuffer 的 VNC 桌面实验。本实验中，使用友善之臂设计的 s5pv21 开发板。
今天目的只是实验是否可行，并没有详细 debug。这个明显是还有很大改进空间的。PS: 原来 VNC 的协议本身就是叫 rfb, remote framebuffer。
下面是在 xtightvncviewer 中连接效果:
实现路径:
1. 为 arm 板编译安装了 libvncserver。编译的时候，进行了下面一些特殊操作：
a. 有部分可以在 configure 时候关闭（比如 --without-gnutls）
b. 对 SDL 和 GTK 的需求，我直接编辑了 configure 脚本，找到 HAVE_LIBSDL_FALSE= ，HAVE_LIBGTK_FALSE= 位置，去掉了外面的判断。即默认就是这两个状态。因为我不需要 GTK 和 SDL。
c. 解压出来的工具无法正确判断系统类型，configure 时候指定了系统: build_os=gnu-linux ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/tmp/install
编译下面的文件，将二进制拷贝到开发板。
该文件是从github获得的，作者实现的时候把键盘鼠标都删掉了，不过这个明显是可以添加的。网址:
