Something like Intel AMT? Some prosumer motherboards like ASRock Rack have out of band management controllers in them.

Something like Intel AMT? Some prosumer motherboards like ASRock Rack have out of band management controllers in them.
- fotta 11mo agoannoyingly, AMT still requires me to have a dummy HDMI dongle plugged in to work
- nerdsniper 11mo agoYes - but a bolt-on solution for nearly any motherboard with an extra PCIe or NVMe slot.
- mbreese 11mo agoI’ve seen raspberry pi based kvms that do just this - draw power from PCI to operate. Except they still usually require a cable to HDMI/USB ports on the computer. I suspect you’d like to have the whole thing to be on card without cables. Example: https://geekworm.com/collections/pikvm https://geekworm.com/collections/pikvm (but I think this still requires separate power) To do this, wouldn’t you effectively need to make a graphics card (VGA would work) where a separate chip could read the screen buffer? And somehow get this card to display preferentially over the on-board video card? I’m sure the all in one card version exists, but honestly a cabled version seems more robust (w/o vendor support that is).

And somehow get this card to display preferentially over the on-board video card? If you do basic VGA (and UEFI), that'd be plenty for most. If it had a local output it'd be great for systems without video on the cpu (am4 non-apus, but also others)
- somanyphotons 11mo agoI have a desktop that I'm using as a server box, I'd like to avoid plugging in a GPU just to change BIOS options or debug a boot failure
