I have been reviewing the Beaglebone Black and would like to know if I install Android on the device how do I enable casting/mirroring? The Beaglebone Black has a Network card and wifi can be added. Is it possible to create an open source Chromecast device with greater capabilities?
This is very a promising board, I'd love to build my own device similar to Samsungs Galaxy HomeSync.
No, it is not. Each Chromecast has a device-specific certificate which is used to authenticate to an official SDK that it is a "real" Chromecast. Withtout this certificate, your Fake-Chromecast would not work with anything which expects that certificate.
