I am amazed that there is an ESP that can handle this and with just 32MB of RAM: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/e...
Actually 8P8C.
Awful marketing.
or make one yourself: https://github.com/espkvm/espkvm
Maintainer (espkvm) here. :) Thanks for the mention ;) It started as a firmware for myself: I wanted a KVM, but not a Linux system inside one. A colleague talked me into publishing it and it grew from there. It runs on ESP32-P4 dev boards, no custom hardware. I am not saying it is better than JetKVM. What I find more interesting is that the Mini landed on the same chip. Their stack is completely different from the Li…
Have you considered using usb-hdmi capture dongle instead of using hdmi-csi. That is my idea, you bring your own capture dongle, plug it in and good to go. The esp32-s3 (and P4 i guess) support usb host, and there is uvc example from esp-idf.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Have you considered using usb-hdmi capture dongle instead of using hdmi-csi. That is my idea, you bring your own capture dongle, plug it in and good to go. The esp32-s3 (and P4 i guess) support usb host, and there is uvc example from esp-idf.
Does anyone know such a device, but for a CUPS/SANE server? It would allow tou to secure a printer/scanner (which often use out-of-date software stacks). I'm currently using a RPi for this, but require partly to use qemu to run this to emulate a x86-64 binary (Brother driver). How did we end up with this mess. TVs and STBs are same story.

The GL-iNet Commet X is a 4-port IP KVM. It does 4K, albeit at 30fps. https://nascompares.com/2026/06/26/gl-inet-comet-x-kvm-early...
I have the single port PoE version of the glinet. Its been rock solid so far. I’ve been wanting this 4 port version. But they’re sold out every time I check their site.
There is also the Comet 5G, which gives you cellular backup. I use it to control my OpenBSD home router when traveling if my Internet connection goes down.
If you have an Intel CPU, there is a good chance you have a KVM built-in (whether you wanted one or not): Intel AMT. Its reputation was tarnished by Intel's dissimulation and opacity about the technology, and a streak of critical vulnerabilities disclosed in late 2017. I chose to take my chances with it anyway for my homelab server. It is secured with a password, mutual TLS (client has to provide a cert), and restric…
The phsyical kvms just work and worth the $.
I wish every KVM manufacturer would prominently answer one question: Can't I get it onto tailscale
Main issue with these things -- clipboard support?
