Change license to GPL 2 This application links with libvncserver, which is GPL 2, and therefore needs to be licensed as GPL 2 also. Change-Id: I8807e110653782773263e36b94f69af885901aee Signed-off-by: Eddie James <eajames@linux.ibm.com>
The obmc-ikvm application is a VNC server that provides access to the host graphics output. The application interfaces with the video device on the BMC that captures the host graphics, and then serves that video data on the RFB (remote framebuffer, also known as VNC) protocol. The application also interfaces with the BMC USB gadget device to pass HID events from the BMC to the host, allowing the user to interact with the host system.
Once the host is running and an appropriate HID gadget device is instantiated on the BMC, the application can be started with the following command: obmc-ikvm -v <video device path> -i <HID gadget device path>
For example:
obmc-ikvm -v /dev/video0 -i /dev/hidg0
