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?

Hi @loof2736, thanks for your question about running TinyPilot on other hardware.

The Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry Pi Zero 2 are the only third-party devices TinyPilot officially supports, meaning we only produce ARM-compatible builds. In addition, TinyPilot has several dependencies in Raspberry Pi OS that might not exist on other operating systems.

Unfortunately, the above conditions mean that you won't be able to run TinyPilot on x86/AMD64 hardware.
