Major milestone! The first USBridge-KVM 2.0 unit is officially shipped to the US for technical review 🚀 4 more packages are on the way to Spain, UK, and the US. Can't wait for the first independent feedback!

I built USBridge-KVM 2.0 to turn Pre-OS/BIOS into interactive text via SSH.

But why stop there? I rewrote the pipeline to stream games via Moonlight using hardware encoding (RGA/MPP) & DMA!

Zero lag. 1080p. Watch it run 👇

I'm assembling the first batch of USBridge-KVM 2.0 for bloggers 📦 Inside: streaming via Moonlight (no lag), BIOS-in-Terminal with offline OCR for SSH, and hardware Immutable Snapshots on Btrfs.

USBridge v2.0: Moonlight integration is alive! 🕹️⚡

We are bringing ultra-low latency video streaming directly to our compact KVM module. Perfect remote control with near-zero lag is getting closer.

Automating BIOS via SSH? Yes, please.

My DIY IP-KVM maps pixels into a text terminal, enabling copy-paste for error codes. Here I'm triggerring a reboot script using OCR for automation.

I started with copper and went on to a custom shape and an active fan. I strive to put maximum effort into every component of this device to achieve the perfect result.

I'm no master machinist, but I cut and filed these aluminum heatsinks anyway.

Review units for tech bloggers are almost done. Testing active thermal design on the new USBridge batch!

The evolution of USBridge-KVM 2.0.

1️⃣ V0.1 — Bare stacked PCBs, getting the firmware and display logic to work.
2️⃣ V0.2 — Device optimization and removing a whole PCB layer to slim it down.
3️⃣ V1.0 — Almost production-ready, fine-tuning the final details.

Autonomous AI at the bare-metal level! 🦾

Connected Claude AI (@AnthropicAI) directly to a server BIOS via MCP and USBridge-KVM v2.0.

Watch it autonomously navigate settings and diagnose a dead CMOS battery via terminal OCR. No humans.

Working on the BIOS-to-text feature via SSH for our KVM. Fixed the rendering, colors, and layout.

Next step: training a new OCR model to speed things up.

[USBridge Amir Fatkulin @USBridgeKVM]

Dropped the USBridge KVM 2.0 thermals by a solid 20°C!

I replaced the axial fan with a high-static-pressure blower and soldered a 2mm copper shim directly to the heatsink.

From 70°C to a stable 50°C under heavy 2K/OCR load. Massive win for stability.

7/ Another item on my to-do list is to fix the menu display in KVM. There’s no anti-aliasing. It works, but I want to make it look nice. I haven’t had a chance to work on it yet.

1/ Built a hardware KVM that gives you full server access before the OS even loads. It has a local LCD menu so you don't need a laptop at the rack. Here's what each item does 🧵

6/ Monitor — displays real-time video from the host. Enables quick diagnostics at the server rack without connecting a monitor or launching a client.

The evolution of the USBridge Power Management Module. 🛠️

It took three iterations to get from a hand-soldered prototype (V0.1) to the production-ready version (V1) that ships with our KVM 2.0.

This tiny board allows for full remote server reboots from anywhere.
