Update History
In August 2023, the X630-A4 has been updated from V1.1 to V2.0 version, the PCB layout and PCB size of X630-A4 has changed a lot.
Overview
PiKVM-A4 is one of the members of PiKVM[1] family, it only supports Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W without a matching metal case.
!!! warning "ZeroW reached EOL and is no longer supported, the last image it can be found here"
Or you can refer to here
The PiKVM-A4 is composed of follow parts:
- X630 HDMI to CSI-2 Board (for video capture)
- X630-A4 HAT Board (for ethernet, RTC, ATX Control power in etc)
- X630-A5 Adapter Board (it is installed inside the PC case, and it connect the computer motherboard and IO panel cabe of PC case))
- 0.96 inch OLED (for display, Resolution: 128×64 pixel)
- Ethernet Cable (TIA/EIA-568.B connection, and it's ATX control signal cable)
How to Power
- (For X630-A4 V2.0) Power Input: 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥3A (Power Via Micro-USB port of Raspberry Pi Zero 2W)
- (For X630-A4 V1.1) Power Input: 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥3A (Power Via USB Type-C port of X630-A4 V1.1)
How to Cool
- The new version KVM-A4 V2.0 (X630-A4 V2.0) does not support C296 aluminum heatsink installation, please use the ordinary heatsink for the CPU of Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
- For use with raspberry pi zero 2 w, X630-A4 V1.1 (KVM-A4) allows to use C296 aluminum heatsink with your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, but user need to prepare 4pcs M2.5*7mm screws yourself.
