Sipeed NanoKVM KVM Version Options NanoKVM-Lite NanoKVM-FULL LicheeRV Nano RISC-V Remote Power / OS Control
Sipeed NanoKVM Lite & Full – Ultra-Compact IP-KVM for Remote Power & OS Control
Take full control of your PC, server, or lab machine from anywhere – even when the OS has crashed. Built on the powerful LicheeRV Nano RISC‑V platform, the Sipeed NanoKVM turns any system into a remotely manageable machine with video, keyboard, mouse, and power control over the network. Whether you are a home tinkerer, a small business admin, or managing racks of servers, NanoKVM gives you “hands-on” access without being in the room – saving time, travel, and frustration.
⭐ Key Features & Benefits
- True IP-KVM control, anywhere: View the screen, use keyboard and mouse, and manage power over the network – even if the OS is frozen or the machine is in BIOS.
- Ultra-compact, clutter-free design: Based on LicheeRV Nano, the device is small enough to hide behind a monitor or inside a rack, keeping your workspace clean and organized.
- Two versions for different users: NanoKVM-Lite for DIY makers and bulk enterprise deployment, NanoKVM-FULL for plug‑and‑play convenience with case, accessories, and pre-installed system image.
- Remote power & OS management: Power-cycle machines, access boot menus, reinstall OS, or recover from crashes without touching the physical device.
- User-friendly web interface: Access your target machine through a browser-like experience that feels familiar and responsive, even for non-experts.
- Ideal for home labs & small offices: Perfect for NAS boxes, mini PCs, remote workstations, and headless servers that you need to manage reliably.
- Top-rated & community-backed: Built on the popular LicheeRV Nano ecosystem, with an active community and documentation to help you get more from your setup.
💡 How NanoKVM Fits Into Your Life
Imagine a server in a closet, a mini PC under a desk, or a lab machine in another building. When it hangs during an update or gets stuck in BIOS, you usually have to walk over, plug in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and manually fix it. With NanoKVM, you simply open your browser, see the live screen, control the keyboard and mouse, and even power-cycle the machine – all from your sofa, office, or another city.
The NanoKVM-Lite version feels like a flexible toolkit: you can integrate it into custom enclosures, test benches, or racks. The NanoKVM-FULL version feels like a finished product: a refined case, neat cables, and a pre-installed system image card that boots straight into a ready-to-use interface. Just connect, power on, and you are in control.
🔌 Interfaces & Typical Connections
- Video input: Connect to your target machine’s display output (via supported adapter/cable) to capture and stream the screen remotely.
- USB for keyboard & mouse emulation: Plug into the target machine’s USB port so NanoKVM can act as a virtual keyboard and mouse.
- Network port: Connect to your LAN for remote access from your PC, laptop, or phone.
- Power input: Simple power connection to keep NanoKVM always on, even when the target machine is off.
