Hey, glad to hear from a like minded soul. It's true they'd likely make quite good ipkvms as long as you're OK with having CVE's pop on your ipkvm gear. I guess they probably already do.
I think even just embracing it as an ipkvm++ opens up a lot of potential additions to the current approach. There's no reason why you wouldn't want to build in remote power and triggers to go into S3/S4 powersave. There are still plenty of shops that prevent sleep to make maintenance easier. And It'd be super easy to hook a usb port up as a usb client and software fake whatever dvdrom you happened to want to boot.
If you ever feel like shooting the shit, i'd be down to hear what parts of it does it for you or whatever else was on your mind. I have the same nick on github.
- mschuster91 13y agoActually all of the bigger SoC families bring USB gadget support with them... the Linux kernel has at least support for USB mass storage and networking (of course, networking is useless, because of low speed) - so it should be possible indeed to internally connect the USB jumpers to the ipkvm board to provide HID and storage. The only thing is now to get a cheap way to adapt VGA (or better yet, DVI) to an SoC. Video encode is supplied with the chips, the real difficulty will be getting the signals to the CPU, though.
