 I mostly remote into my server via SSH too. And I use the screen method to = run menuconfig and devshell and so forth. Works well.

As Yusuke says you can install screen on the server (if it is Ubuntu or sim= ilar) if you need to with

$ sudo apt install screen

You might need to tell the bitbake tooling to use the screen utility which = you can do with something like

$ export=C2=A0 OE_TERMINAL=3Dscreen

I see there are some notes here

I hadn't heard of tmux. Thanks Aaron - I will have a look into that...<= br>

Sometimes I need a graphical environment. For example when I want to run up= a Yocto Poky build for testing on a QEmu emulated machine easily.

For this I have VNC Server installed on the build box. I then run this up a= nd it creates a new desktop. Your default desktop is usually :0 and in my c= ase VNC then creates a :1 desktop

This usually ends up on build box local port 5901 as I recall (if not it wi= ll be a similar number, you can check with netstat -anp)

You can then port forward the VNC TCP port 5901 over SSH and use a VNC clie= nt on your client local port.

I often use Windows as a client so use Putty for the port forwarding and Ti= ghtVNC for the VNC client.

This could well sound quite fiddly but it's fine when you get it setup.=

There are some notes here which might be useful
