Description

The Geekworm KVM-A3 Kit leverages the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B to deliver a comprehensive KVM-over-IP experience. This solution allows you to control a remote server or computer directly through a web browser, simulating a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Crucially, it provides true hardware-level access, operating independently of any remote ports, protocols, or software services running on the target system. This ensures robust control even during critical system states, such as boot-up or OS failures.

Designed for easy integration and robust performance, the KVM-A3 kit features an HDMI Full HD video capture mechanism powered by the TC358743 chip, ensuring clear remote visuals. Peripheral emulation is handled via the Raspberry Pi’s OTG port, allowing for seamless remote keyboard and mouse interaction, along with mass storage drive emulation for file transfers or OS installations. Additional features like a hardware Real-Time Clock (RTC), a dedicated cooling fan for the Raspberry Pi, and solid-state relays for GPIO protection against electrical spikes enhance its reliability and utility in professional and DIY environments. Note that the Raspberry Pi board itself is not included with the kit.

Key Features

  • Open-source DIY IP-KVM solution based on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
  • Fully compatible with KVM OS for web browser-based control of remote systems.
  • HDMI Full HD video capture powered by the TC358743 chip.
  • OTG Keyboard & Mouse emulation, alongside Mass Storage Drive emulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with the KVM-A3 Kit?

The KVM-A3 Kit is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It does not support Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ or Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. Ensure you have a Raspberry Pi 4 to utilize the full KVM-over-IP capabilities of this kit effectively, as the Pi board is not included.

What is the primary function of the KVM-A3 Kit?

Its primary function is to provide a hardware-level KVM-over-IP solution. It allows users to remotely control a computer or server via a web browser, emulating a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, completely independent of the target system's operating system or network services for robust out-of-band management.

How does the KVM-A3 handle video capture and peripheral emulation?

The KVM-A3 utilizes a TC358743 chip for HDMI Full HD video capture. For peripheral emulation, it uses the Raspberry Pi's OTG port to simulate a USB keyboard, mouse, and mass storage drive. This enables seamless remote interaction, allowing full control over the connected host system.

Can the KVM-A3 Kit control the power of the remote server?

Yes, the KVM-A3 Kit includes ATX control capabilities via an RJ45 connector. This allows users to remotely switch the target machine on or off, perform a reset, and monitor the status of the HDD and power LEDs. This provides comprehensive remote system management for connected servers.
