For some more context why such a device is desirable:
Mainboard-built-in KVMs provided by server vendors are usually buggy as hell closed-source horrors, with regular full-compromise holes that make running them over the Internet a complete gamble.
This is why open-source KVMs that are just as secure as other normal Linux servers, and auto-upgradable, are very desirable.

- louwrentius 5y agoYup, but frankly, those interfaces should be only accessible by trusted systems, if you care about that stuff.
