Can you control Tinkerboard remotely?
Yes, with RealVNC Connect, you can securely access and control your Tinkerboard remotely, whether you’re using it with a display or as a headless device.
This is perfect for situations where you may wish to have your Tinkerboard constantly performing tasks, but don’t necessarily need visual access to it all the time.

Install VNC on Tinkerboard
To install it, simply run the following command on your Tinkerboard
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
Once installed you can start the vnc server using:
x11vnc -noxrecord -forever
If you want to run it with the password, first set a password using the following command
x11vnc -storepasswd
Now you can run the x11vnc with the password, run the command
x11vnc -noxrecord -forever -usepw
Now, on the mac if you want to connect to the Tinkerboard in the terminal type:
open vnc://ip_address_of_tinkerboard:5900
This is how you can install VNC on Tinkerboard and run it remotely.
