* **Easy to build - For the v0 variant**
A ready-to-use OS that can be created just by running `make build` and installed to an SD-card using `make install`. The hardware can be made in half an hour and without soldering.
* **The widest hardware support**
There are many ways to build a PiKVM. Video capture devices can be attached using the CSI-2 or USB interfaces. Raspberry Pi models 2, 3, 4, or ZeroW may be used. Any combination of hardware is supported, and PiKVM implements the maximum possible set of features.

# DIY Getting Started
## Required hardware
PiKVM supports several different hardware configurations, referred to as **platforms**. Now available: **v2** and **v0**.
* **Recommended**: **v2** is the most modern implementation for **Raspberry Pi 4** and **ZeroW** supporting all of the features of PiKVM including the **Mass Storage Drive**. **For Raspberry Pi 4 (not for Zero), there is support for H.264 video.**. **It's also the easiest to make**.

* v0 was designed to work with Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 that do not have OTG and requires a few more components for a basic implementation. It also does not support the Mass Storage Drive feature.
## Hardware for v2
* Raspberry Pi board:
- **Recommended**: Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB model is enough) for the best performance. However, the 1Gb models will also work (No longer sold).

* MicroSD card (min 16 GB recommended).
* USB-A 3A charger (female socket) or official rpi recommended power supply.
* Video capture device:
- **Recommended**: [HDMI to CSI-2 bridge based on TC358743](https://aliexpress.com/item/4000102166176.html) - low latency, more reliable, **H.264 video**.

**Raspberry Pi 4**: since one USB-C female connector is used to receive power and perform keyboard/mouse/drive emulation a special Y-cable must be made that splits the DATA and POWER lines of USB-C (see [reasons](https://github.com/pikvm/docs/issues/11)). It can be made from two suitable connecting cables, or soldered together from scratch. Be sure to check the circuit diagram below, otherwise you may damage your devices. The appropriate USB pinout(s) can easily be found on Google. Please note that if you make a Y-cable from two no-name cables, the colors of the wires may not match those shown. Use a multimeter to make sure the connections are correct.
**Raspberry Pi Zero W**: This board has two USB micro connectors: one for power supply, the second for emulating a USB OTG device. You need to prevent backpowering as in the RPi4 case. To do this, you need to cut off the red power wire in the OTG wire, or seal the +5v pin in the USB-A connector with electrical tape like this:

Pre-compiled images are only available for the Raspberry Pi 4 and ZeroW. For all other cases, you will need to build the operating system yourself. But don't worry, it's [very simple](building_os.md).
