[TG] 3rd party software request VNC client

[Tom - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello Sailshade,

I'm sorry to say that we can't help with that one. There's no SDK available for our MFDs, any way to get them to run third-party software (e.g. a shell), or any way to get video into a standard Axiom. We do offer HDMI-in, Touch-out (over USB) on Axiom XL, but there are no plans to add that capability into the smaller Axiom range.

As navigation displays we need to control the platform a little more tightly than, for example, a smartphone needs to be, in order to prevent unintended consequences as a result of a third-party software. The 3rd-party apps integrated with Lighthouse3 so far have all been through Raymarine's product assurance testing to make sure that they don't interrupt navigation functions, but we don't have the resources or financial business-case to do that for something as niche as a VNC client.

Regards,
Tom
