About this item

The Geekworm KVM-A8 Kit PCIe Version is an open-source KVM-over-IP solution designed for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, enabling remote management of computers via a web browser. This kit transforms the Raspberry Pi into a powerful KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) device, allowing users to control servers or PCs remotely, including tasks like powering on/off, BIOS configuration, and OS reinstallation using virtual media. The KVM-A8 PCIe version is installed directly into a desktop PC's PCIe slot, eliminating the need for additional cables and simplifying the setup process. It comprises the X630 HDMI to CSI-2 module for video capture and the X630-A8 V1.7 expansion board, which provides features such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, a cooling fan for heat dissipation, a hardware Real-Time Clock (RTC) with a CR1220 coin battery, and ATX power control. The system supports full HD HDMI capture through the TC358743 chip, emulates keyboard, mouse, and mass storage devices, and offers reliable remote access to servers and computers. The kit is compatible with the PiKVM V3 platform and requires a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (not included). It is ideal for IT professionals, data center operators, and hobbyists seeking a cost-effective and efficient remote management solution.
