==Overview==
PiKVM <ref>PiKVM © belongs to https://pikvm.org</ref> (https://pikvm.org/) is a very powerful and Open Source Software which allows for a remote connection via your Raspberry Pi to turn on/off or restart your computer, configure the UEFI/BIOS, and even reinstall the OS using the Virtual CD-ROM or Flash Drive. You can use your remote keyboard and mouse or PiKVM can simulate a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor, which are then presented in a web browser as if you were working on a remote system directly. It's true hardware-level access with no dependency on any remote ports, protocols or services!  The KVM refers to Keyboard Video Mouse. PiKVM is divided into Raspberry Pi 4 version ('''PiKVM-A3''') and Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W / Zero W version ('''PiKVM-A4'''). PiKVM-A3 is also compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+ / 3B, but since Pi3 without OTG interface, when PiKVM-A3 is used with Pi3, OTG analog keyboard and mouse cannot be used.  '''Note:''' Please use the supplied USB Type-C to USB 2.0 A-Male Cable only. USB-C to USB-A cable only with DATA lines (for keyboard and mouse emulation), Using other cable might cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi. We need to ensure you isolate the 5v connection between the Raspberry Pi and host PC to prevent backpower issues that can cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi. Some PC case may not have HDMI port, you need to use VGA/DVI to HDMI adapter to transfer HDMI port.  '''The PiKVM-A3 is composed of follow parts:''' [[File:IMG20220616171152-970x600.jpg|700px|RPIKVM-A3]]* '''[[X630]]''' HDMI to CSI-2 Board (for video capture)* '''[[X630-A3]]''' HAT Board (for ethernet, cooling, 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 Shield |0.96 inch OLED]]''' (for display, Resolution: 128×64 pixel)* Ethernet Cable (TIA/EIA-568.B connection, and it's ATX control signal cable)  '''The PiKVM-A4 is composed of follow parts:''' [[File:PiKVM-A4-real.jpg|700px|RPIKVM-A4]]* '''[[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 Shield|0.96 inch OLED]]''' (for display, Resolution: 128×64 pixel)* Ethernet Cable (TIA/EIA-568.B connection, and it's ATX control signal cable)*<span style="color:red">Important Note: The OLED screen will not work if you use PI ZERO image, because pikvm OS has not fixed this problem.

There is a I2S Audio In on X630-A3, does the packing list contain an I2S cable? How to connect it?''' A. No contain an I2S cable.  PiKVM OS does not support I2S, so it cannot be used yet. The 10pin SH1.0 connector is for '''future''' I2S HDMI audio support. Once it supported, we will update the product information for detail use.  '''Q: How to login?''' A: Input the XX.XX.XX.XX ip address on the explorer, then input user: admin, the default password is 'admin' also.  '''Q: How to switch root user?''' A: su root #default password is root also  '''Q: How to enable OLED?''' A: Run the following command to enable OLED display: rw systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled ro  '''Q: Why OLED is not display?'''
A: Please confirm that your OS is right:

<span class="tb_red">'''QAbout after-sales service: How to enable RTC?'''</span>
A: Firstly, insert The after-sales service of all products sold by Geekworm should be the C1220 button battery.run the following command: rw sudo nano /boot/config.txt #Then change the lineresponsibility of our Geekworm team (email: '''dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563''' to support@geekworm.com'''dtoverlay=i2c-rtc),ds1307''' #Test RTC #Display the current time of the Raspberry Pi date #Write please do not disturb the time of Raspberry Pi to DS1307 sudo hwclock official PiKVM after-w #Read the time of DS1307 sudo hwclock -r rosales team.
'''QSome Resource: Why PiKVM-A3/A4 does not show the video?'''* [https://docs.pikvm.org/ Official Document]* [https://docs.pikvm.org/faq/ Official FAQ]* [https://pikvm.org/download/ PiKVM OS download]
A:==References==* Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly. For the CSI bridge, this should be exactly the camera port;* 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 may have turned on sleep mode for the monitor. Move the mouse to turn it off.<references />
