===OS Download & Installation===
1. Firstly, need prepair a micro sd card, a minimum 16 Gb class 10 memory card is recommended.
2. Download an appropriate OS image for the PiKVM, the url link is: https://pikvm.org/download/
:We recommend that you use the ''''V3 Pre-Assembled'''' version, and this image includes OLED display configuration.
:For Raspberry Pi 4, please use [https://files.pikvm.org/images/v3-hdmi-rpi4-box-latest.img.xz PiKVM V3 platform]. <span style="color:red;">Only compatible with '''PiKVM V3 Platform OS''', NOT support '''V4'''</span>
:[[File:Pi4-V3-HAT.png|800px|PiKVM V3 platform]]
3. Flash it to a microSD memory card by following [https://docs.pikvm.org/flashing_os the simple instructions] or [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html#installing-the-operating-system Official installation tutorial]
4. Power the device, then open explore to login the pikvm web ui.
5. Blog sharing for reference: https://www.andysblog.de/kvm-over-ip-pikvm-als-bausatz
===Enable RTC ===
<span style="color:red;">Only need to configure the RTC function for the X630-A3 V1.5/V1.3/V1.2 version, X630-A3 V1.6 don't need.</span>
Due to different RTC chips with official PiKVM hardware, you still need to '''configure RTC''' to make RTC work normally.
Firstly, insert the '''CR1220''' button battery. run the following command in web terminal window:
1. switch to 'root' user
su root
then type the password, and the default password is 'root' also.
2. Switch OS to writable mode
rw
3. Edit the /boot/config.txt file, and change line <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563</code> to <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307</code> (due to use the different RTC chip).
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Then save & '''reboot''' the device;
4.Test & setting RTC, write&read the time of Raspberry Pi to RTC DS1307
date
sudo hwclock -w
sudo hwclock -r
5. Swith OS to readonly mode
ro
===Enable OLED display===
Run the following command in web terminal window to enable OLED display:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro
If you are using <code>PiKVM OS V3 Pre-Assembled</code>, the OLED configuration is already pre-installed, you can ignore this step.
===Enable hdmi audio===

Q1: Which pins are available on the KVM-A3?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: You only can use GPIO16,26,11,17,25,9,10 pins on KVM-A3
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">
Q2. Why the device does not show the video only display <b><span class="tb_red">No Signals</span></b>?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A:
* Please check the hardware connection. Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly.
* Make sure you use the original HDMI port. If your desktop only has a VGA display port, there may be no video signal when you use VGA to HDMI adapter, and there is no way to solve this; However, you can try to lower the resolution and restart the PC to test, but the probability of success is very low.
* Change the HDMI cable to test.
* Test the X630 separately to check if there is HDMI output.
* Some laptops do not output any signal until you switch the output (usually via the FN + and an F5 key on the keyboard).
* Your computer maybe enter sleep mode, please exit sleep mode

</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">
Q5. How to enable OLED display?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: Run the following command to enable OLED display:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">
Q6. Why OLED is not display?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: Please follow the steps below to check
1. Please confirm that your OS is right:
Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We ALSO made such mistakes during testing.
[[File:Pi4-V3-HAT.png|800px]]
2. Please check if the order of OLED screen pins is correct, please contact us if it's a wrong pin order;
[[File:OLED-IMG-4373-1.jpg]]
then runt the following command to check i2c address
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
<pre>
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3c -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
</pre>
'''3c''' is a hexadecimal number, it is the I2C address of OLED, if you can’t find this value, please shut down and reconnect X630-A3&OLED and run this command again, If you still can't find the OLED's I2C address, the OLED screen may be damaged.
'''PS''': The newest PiKVM V3 image does not include '''i2cdetect''' tool, and you can use the following command to check the i2c device
ls /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-1/devices/
4. Then run the following command to enable OLED display:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">
Q7. I want to control several pc power. Is it possible with one PiKVM-A3 and several x630-a5
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A. No, one kit can only control one pc, you can refer to [[X680]] to control up to 4 PCs.

A: Please follow the steps below to check
1. Please confirm that your OS is right:
Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We ALSO made such mistakes during testing.

2. Please check if the order of OLED screen pins is correct, please contact us if it's a wrong pin order;

then runt the following command to check i2c address
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
<pre>
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3c -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
</pre>
'''3c''' is a hexadecimal number, it is the I2C address of OLED, if you can’t find this value, please shut down and reconnect X630-A3&OLED and run this command again, If you still can't find the OLED's I2C address, the OLED screen may be damaged.
'''PS''': The newest PiKVM V3 image does not include '''i2cdetect''' tool, and you can use the following command to check the i2c device
ls /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-1/devices/
4. Then run the following command to enable OLED display:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro

Q7. I want to control several pc power. Is it possible with one PiKVM-A3 and several x630-a5
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A. No, one kit can only control one pc, you can refer to [[X680]] to control up to 4 PCs.
