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.

Key Features

  • Fully open-source software with a pre-configured, fine-tuned Linux-based OS for ease of use.
  • Web UI and VNC access for versatile remote server management.
  • HDMI video capture with extra-low latency (1080p 50Hz max) using MJPEG or H.264/WebRTC codecs.
  • Comprehensive keyboard and mouse emulation for complete remote input control.
  • Bootable Virtual CD-ROM and Flash Drive emulation for OS installation and recovery.
  • Mass storage emulation with "removal and insertion" simulation for flexible device management.
  • ATX controller via RJ45 ports for remote power on/off and reset functionality.
  • Onboard real-time clock (RTC) for accurate system logging and timekeeping.
  • 5V PWM fan controller for optimized thermal management of the Raspberry Pi.
  • Health monitoring of the Raspberry Pi to ensure stable operation.
  • USB and RJ-45 serial console access for debugging and direct command-line interaction.
  • Web UI control for GPIO ports and USB relays, expanding automation possibilities.
  • Compatible with Apple computers for broad system support.

Applications

  • Remote server administration and headless system management.
  • BIOS/UEFI configuration and low-level system troubleshooting.
  • Operating system reinstallation using virtual media (CD-ROM/Flash Drive).
  • Data center and server room management for power cycling and initial setup.
  • Educational and development environments requiring remote hardware access.
