July 2023: Banana Pi started work on the BPI-KVM box in July 2023. The device is powered by a Rockchip RK3568 SoC. However, it’s not a mini-PC; it is a KVM over IP solution. In other words, it allows you to remotely control another computer or device as if you were there with it. For example, you can turn on and off the connected device or access its BIOS. Commercial KVM over IP solutions have long been expensive. However, people have started to use Raspberry Pi SBCs with an expansion board, such as the PiKVM v3.
And more recently, Raspberry Pi CM4-based KVM over IP solutions launched for under $200. Seeing this trend, Banana Pi has decided to release its own BPI-KVM. The latter is powered by an IO-rich Rockchip RK3568 processor that provides all interfaces needed for this type of application.
