Flashing the Arduino HID

This operation can be done using your RPi. Before starting, disconnect the RESET wire from the Arduino board, otherwise the firmware will not be uploaded. Connect the Arduino and RPi with a suitable USB cable. Log in to the RPi and upload the firmware. Then connect the RESET wire, disconnect the USB cable, and reboot the RPi.

[user@localhost os]$ ssh root@<addr>
[root@pikvm ~]# rw
[root@pikvm ~]# systemctl stop kvmd
[root@pikvm ~]# cp -r /usr/share/kvmd/hid ~
[root@pikvm ~]# cd ~/hid
[root@pikvm hid]# make
[root@pikvm hid]# make install
[root@pikvm hid]# reboot

On this you may encounter the following error:

/root/.platformio/packages/tool-avrdude/avrdude: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Create a symlink for this library:

[root@pikvm ~]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

And run make install again.
