Similarly I'm looking into the nano kvm now the firmware is open https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM

Update, perhaps I was miss-informed. Looks like the firmware isn't in the repo, just the web interface.

Disappointing, I had read on a blog somewhere recently that they had released the firmware and didn't look into it deeply enough

> the backend will be open-sourced soon (after the GitHub repository reaches 2K stars).

I would love to see an OpenWRT implementation, so that your router can be your KVM device :-)

I believe, that few, if any of the currently supported boards feature all of: USB Device Port, HDMI-Port (or sufficiently fast USB-Host-Port for Capture Adapter), HW-Video-Encode (or beafy enough CPU), enough available (programmable) GPIOs

I think with Wifi 6e and 7 this is no longer true. Most of these devices are really powerful supporting at least one usb3 port. This is probably no longer a problem in the near future, especially when 1080p is enough.
