Description

Hello,

I am using the CoralDevBoard with the coral camera on a Windows 10 computer; to view graphics and run GUI programs, I use vcxsrv. I am working with WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and I have successfully installed all the requirements. I was able to run the simple_pose.py module, but I have not been able to run the pose_camera.py example. The output is attached.

I then ran the gstreamer.py file and got the same error of not being able to display.

Can I actually get a display through WSL2? If not, is there a way to stream this through a sever, in the same way, that the demo for the coral camera set up does (https://coral.ai/docs/dev-board/camera/#view-with-a-streaming-server)?

I appreciate your help

Hello @jorgemmar10 we haven't tested coral devices on WSL. Can you please tell us why you are using WSL as you can connect to the Dev Board through Windows itself.

Hello,
I used WSL for convenience purposes; I was able to get it to work using the instructions provided online. Thank you for your help.
