PiKVM V4 Mini
Description
PiKVM V4 Mini is an open-source KVM over IP device based on Raspberry Pi. It allows you to manage servers or workstations remotely, regardless of the operating system state. With PiKVM, you can turn your computer on or off, restart it, configure the UEFI/BIOS, and even reinstall the OS using a Virtual CD-ROM or Flash Drive. You can use your own keyboard and mouse remotely, or PiKVM can simulate these along with a monitor, accessible through a web browser as if you were directly using the remote system. This provides hardware-level access without relying on any remote ports, protocols, or services.
Note: USB functionality such as KVM switching is only supported on the PiKVM V4 Plus
Note: USB-C displays are not supported
