AM335x RDP

Hi all, is AM335x capable of running rdesktop or freerdp to connect to a windows remote desktop?, has anyone succeeded?, where could I find information?, I've read somewhere someone has a BBB running rdesktop on arm debian but I'd like a more reliable source.

Thank you in advance

    You could run rdesktop or freerdp on AM335x.  The performance would be really poor since the ARM would have to take care of all the decoding (especially at HD resolutions).  A while ago I tried out some common remote desktop clients (citrix and freerdp) with the community ubuntu distribution.  I didn't use arago in the tisdk since I was just doing a quick test.  It worked, but the framerate was low.

    I have seen other TI ARM cortex-a8 SoCs run freerdp, but those platforms had DSPs to accelerate decode, so they had very good performance that wouldn't be achievable on ARM only platform like AM335x.
