#Limelight Embedded
Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built for Linux/OSX/Windows.
Limelight Embedded allows you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your powerful Windows desktop to your embedded system, like Raspberry Pi, CuBox-i and Hummingboard.
For a demo see this video.
Limelight-common is the shared codebase between different implementations of Limelight
Limelight also has an Android implementation.
Limelight-pc also has an Linux (X)/OSX/Windows implementation.
