NanoKVM is an open-source IP-KVM system for compact RISC-V hardware devices that lets you remotely access and control computers over the network as if sitting in front of them. The repository contains the firmware and web-based control software for the NanoKVM product family, including Cube and PCIe form factors.

Use cases

• remotely control a headless server BIOS over the network
• manage embedded devices without a monitor and keyboard
• troubleshoot a machine that won't boot remotely
• mount virtual media to a remote computer
• access a home lab server from anywhere
• control multiple machines with a single affordable KVM device

When to choose

• you need an affordable open-source IP-KVM for headless machines
• you want out-of-band remote control including BIOS-level access
• you prefer self-hosted hardware you fully control
• you need a compact KVM that fits inside a chassis via PCIe

When to avoid

• you only need software-based remote desktop like VNC or RDP
• you need a USB-only KVM without network features
• you require enterprise-grade KVM-over-IP with vendor support
• you don't want to purchase dedicated hardware
