Description

I have an old x86 mini PC lying around (Wintel w8 pro), and it actually has an OTG Micro-USB port. Is there any way to get TinyPilot working on x86 instead of ARM? I tried running the installer script, but obviously it has a bunch of arm-specific dependencies.

I could just buy a Pi4 now that they are actually available, but I already have this so I wanted to see if I could get it working

Is there any way to get this working? Or any similar projects / forks that work with x86?
