Getting Started (eMMC)

This guide is for PicoKVM and PicoKVM Base with eMMC storage and the factory-installed system.

Lite models need a system installed before first use

If you have a PicoKVM Lite or Base Lite, follow the Lite first-use guide to flash a MicroSD card before connecting the device.

  1. Connect the controlled host’s video output to the KVM’s HDMI port using an HDMI cable.

  2. Connect the controlled host to the KVM via a USB cable.This connection provides both keyboard/mouse control and KVM power supply, as well as the following functions:

    • Mouse: Supports two modes

      • Relative Mode: Standard mouse operation. Reports the distance and direction of movement, moving the cursor relative to its current position.
      • Absolute Mode: Cursor position directly maps to screen coordinates. Suitable for touchscreens or operations requiring precise positioning.

    • Keyboard: Standard keyboard input.

    • UMS (USB Mass Storage): Mount image files or external storage devices.

    • UAC (USB Audio Class): Provides sound card functionality.

  3. Connect the KVM to a local area network (LAN) or the Internet using an Ethernet cable.

  4. Successful startup:

    • Full Version: The LCD screen displays the HDMI and USB connection status. Swipe left or right to access the network interface and check the IP address.

    -Base Version: Access http://picokvm.local/ in a browser (make sure proxy is disabled) to obtain the IP address. Alternatively, log into the system via serial console and run ifconfig in the command line.

  5. Enter the obtained IP address in a browser within the LAN to access the web control interface.
