Raspberry Pi 4 Citrix Client



Australia’s ThinLinX Pty Ltd has been developing Thin Client and IoT Hardware & Software for over 17 years. ThinLinX has many World First’s including

  • First in the World to market in 2011 with our own in house designed and manufactured TLX400 single and dual display Microsoft RemoteFX / Calista hardware decoder thin clients
  • First in the World to market in 2011 with our own RemoteFX App for the Apple iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini and also iPads bringing high performance Windows desktops to the Apple range via RemoteFX / Calista
  • First in the World to market in 2015 with our own Operating System (TLXOS) which delivered high performance Citrix HDX Windows Desktops by utilizing the US$35 Raspberry Pi H.264 hardware decoder.
  • First in the World to market in 2016 with our own Operating System (TLXOS) which delivered high performance VMware Blast Windows Desktops by utilizing the US$35 Raspberry Pi H.264 hardware decoder

More recently we have transitioned to TLXOS Software solutions which allows us to concentrate on developing the best value Thin Client, Digital Signage and IoT Gateway Software for existing high volume hardware such as Raspberry Pi’s, Intel and AMD Small Form Factor devices, Re-Purpose PC’s and Laptops

TLXOS is a small down loadable custom Linux based Operating System with minimal hardware requirements needing less than 1GB of RAM and less than 2GB of storage to deliver high performance Desktops using Citrix HDX, VMware Horizon Blast and Microsoft RDP / RemoteFX.

ThinLinX Founders, husband and wife team, John & Jeanne Nicholls demoing their TLX400 dual display RemoteFX / Calista hardware decoder thin client at Microsoft Teched Atlanta in May 2011. An Apple MacBook Air running the ThinLinX RemoteFX software decoder App for Mac OS X was also demoed

The image above shows the RemoteFX Premier Partner Award presented to ThinLinX Pty Ltd by Microsoft. ThinLinX commenced development of our own ARM Architecture custom System on Chip (SoC) with an integrated RemoteFX / Calista hardware decoder.

John & Jeanne Nicholls went on to develop the low cost single display TLX1000 and the dual display TLX2000 which utilized Texas Instruments DM3730 and DM8148 SoC’s respectively. The integrated Digital Signal Processors were used by ThinLinX to deliver high performance when running RemoteFX / Calista, Citrix HDX and VMware Horizon. The TLX2000 included built in Power over Ethernet support, Dual Displays and Dual 1Gbit Ethernet. The TLX1000 and TLX2000 are displayed below

We also developed the Dual Display TLX3000 with integrated Power over Ethernet, this model used a STmicro SPEAr1340 SoC which was pin compatible with our own RemoteFX / Calista decoder TLX1 SoC. Our ARM Architecture TLX1 SoC also included a H.264 hardware decoder. Unfortunately we had insufficient funds to finalize development of the TLX1 SoC and the TLX3000

It is built on the Raspberry Pi 3 client with the Citrix workspace hub software as well as Stratodesk/Atrust software. It is available via Citrix Ready partners NComputing, ViewSonic and Atrust. The Citrix Ready workspace hub is a fully assembled device which can act as a thin client, replace your desk phones, and smart card readers.

We discontinued hardware development in 2014, switching our efforts to creating our own Linux based Operating System (TLXOS) which would support low cost ARM Architecture hardware such as the Raspberry Pi and most X86 Architecture devices. We also developed a powerful remote Management console which we call TMS

ThinLinX Management Software (TMS) is a very powerful, scalable Management Console that allows TLXOS devices located anywhere in the World to be configured, updated via Hotfixes, or have complete Firmware upgrades installed from one central location. TMS consists of a TLXOS client side component and TMS itself, the latest TLXOS client side component is always integrated in each TLXOS release, this may be updated from time to time via a TMS client upgrade. TMS is available for Windows and Linux, TMS is also integrated into TLXADM which is a Free Virtual Appliance used for administration and Desktop Shadowing

ThinLinX has just released a new much improved version 8.2.3 of TMS which has a corresponding 8.2.2 TLXOS client side which is already integrated into the current TLXOS 4.9.3 release. This allows access to all the new features of TMS 8.2.3

The lastest Intel NUC’s now have SD, SDHC, SDXC Card or Micro SD Card slots, no need to fit a hard disk drive, just buy a low cost SD Card and boot from SD. Use the TLXOS USB stick installer to write the TLXOS image to the SD Card inserted into a single NUC or use the built in TLXOS PXE Boot Server running on a single NUC to program TLXOS to multiple NUC’s fitted with SD Cards by PXE booting the NUC’s. Mass installs of TLXOS can be carried out simultaneously to SD Card or other storage by using a Network switch. A 24 Port switch would allow 22 simultaneous installs of TLXOS to the NUC storage. A new Diskless boot mode has also been integrated into TLXOS, this allows devices to be booted using PXE boot with NO storage whatsoever fitted to the devices. This allows for significant hardware cost reductions in Schools, Universities, Call Centers etc

Don’t throw out those old PC’s and Laptops just yet…Consider Re-Purposing them as Powerful Thin Clients. Even an 12 year old Dell Dimension 1100 with 512MB Ram is a powerful thin client when loaded with ThinLinX’s TLXOS-RePC. You can convert one or Hundreds of PC’s simultaneously into Thin Clients using ThinLinX’s Management Software (TMS) and the TLXOS-RePC PXE Boot Server. RePC also Supports Dual Displays and Digital Signage
