Android to RoboRIO Communication

Hello all,

My team has decided to see what is necessary to use an Android Phone for vision tracking and sending the target information to the RoboRIO. We have been looking through the RIOdroid library (https://github.com/Spectrum3847/RIOdroid). ADB installs fine on the RIO, however, there is a program called SOCAT which is used for port forwarding and virtualization which refuses to install saying that the architecture is incompatible. When we attempt to install it on a RIO with last years image on it, the installer works fine. We have tried downloading various versions of SOCAT, but all of them fail with the same message. Are there any other communication protocols that can be used between Android and the RoboRIO? All help would be appreciated!
