NanoKVM

Mmh... I think that the LicheeRV Nano has kind of more value to it. Around 20 bucks for the Wifi variant. 1GHz, 256MB RAM, USB OTG, GPIO and full Linux support while drawing less than 1W without any power optimizations and even supports < 15$ 2.8" LCDs out of the box. And Rust can be compiled to be used with it... https://github.com/scpcom/LicheeSG-Nano-Build/ Take a look at the `best-practise.md`. It is also the base board of NanoKVM[1] 1: https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM

Sipeed makes a PCIe KVM card for around $80 that drops into standard PC cases. I'd assume it runs off the 5v standby power when the primary ATX supply is sleeping. =3 https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM?tab=readme-ov-file

https://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH9329DS1_PDF.html They dont have the. The chip convert the ecltrical signal into keypress The ch9329 they link is the chip they use. It is certainliy off the shelf and purchased from another, that does not provide much more information to them past implementation The firm: Check the https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM/tree/main/server there is quite a bit of .so committed to the repo sadly. The NanoKVM in NanoKVM USB use CH9329.

NanoKVM looks really neat, thank you! I take it you're in the US? Because it seems I (in Europe) could order it from Aliexpress, see the link on https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM. EDIT: It seems the NanoKVM is struggling with one of the most fundamental KVM tasks, though: https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM/issues/594 I really liked the PCIe form factor, but it looks like I'll have to go for https://tinypilotkvm.com/ instead.

Like this one? https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM

How similar is this to the sipeed NanoKVM? (RISC-V based, software source https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM ) From the outside it looks very very alike.

At the bottom of the post: > And the NanoKVM also still exists, with it's own upsides and downsides. I covered the NanoKVM just a few weeks ago <https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/sipeed-nanokvm-risc-v...> which is GPLv3 https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM#opensource--contribution--... I don't have a horse in this race aside from a network connected device that has essentially "keylogger access" to devices should for sure be as open as possible

After years of dealing with colocation, I would never deploy a server without KVM in a data center. The cost of truck rolls is just too damned high! Even with KVM, I have had to make an emergency trip to a data center that is a 3.5 hour drive away due to a hardware errata on circa 2010 Intel Xeon boards where the network port shared between the KVM and the host would lock up under certain rare circumstances. The second time that happened I pulled the system from production. If you do happen to have a system without on-board KVM, check out NanoKVM, which is a cheap (~$40) option for an add on KVM. It's rather more affordable than PiKVM. https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM

Is this not the software side? https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM Link copied from another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41432060

Similarly I'm looking into the nano kvm now the firmware is open https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM

If anyone wants to add remote access capability to machines without IPMI you can try with something like the $30 RISC-V NanoKVM[1][2]. It provides HDMI capture (and encoding), Ethernet/Wifi, ATX power control, and runs a normal linux distribution.
