HiPi PiKVM v3 HAT for Raspberry Pi 4

Description

The HiPi PiKVM v3 HAT is an advanced KVM-over-IP solution designed for the Raspberry Pi 4, enabling comprehensive remote management of servers and computers. This HAT allows users to interact with a target machine at a hardware level, regardless of its boot state, making it ideal for managing headless servers, troubleshooting operating system issues, or performing low-level system configurations like BIOS/UEFI adjustments. By leveraging the Raspberry Pi, it provides a cost-effective yet robust alternative to traditional KVM solutions, integrating seamlessly into existing network infrastructures.

Equipped with a high-performance HDMI video capture module, the PiKVM v3 delivers low-latency video streaming up to 1080p at 50Hz, supporting both MJPEG and H.264/WebRTC codecs for optimal performance over various network conditions. Its virtual mass storage capabilities enable OS reinstallation from remotely mounted ISOs or virtual USB drives, while integrated ATX power control ensures you can power cycle the target system even if it’s completely unresponsive. The HAT also includes an onboard real-time clock, a 5V PWM fan controller, and health monitoring for the Raspberry Pi, enhancing its reliability and operational oversight.
