alt Hacker NewsMaintainer (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 Linux JetKVM, so it must be a rewrite from scratch - a sign the idea of a KVM without an OS holds up.
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.
