It's all GPL code for the kernel, so there's no secret to it. I forget what kernel version the roboRio is running this year but it has to be one of these branches: https://github.com/ni/linux/tree/nilrt_pub/16.0/4.1

I think it's the 4.1 one but not sure. It's do-able, but tossing a pi in the mix and using NetworkTables to toss relevant vision data back to the roboRio sounds less risky.

Just my two cents.
