So bought one of these to use in place of a PI as a PiKVM style device. Yes, this is an Allwinner H6. Yes out of box its got poor cooling. But it is a worthy device just has not as much flexibility as a pi. Over on the PiKVM discord one of the regulars has a script that will install the right pieces to use this as KVM device. All you need is a hdmi usb capture device (about $17 or less) and a HDMI cable, and a usb cable. The PiKVM retail packages are over $200 w/ a pi and the only feature this lacks hardware wise is the ATX physical ability to power off and reset the remote machine. These are great for the price though, if it fits your needs.

Can you install your own OS despite one being flashed internally?

So far from messing around with it . It doesn't seem too easy to do so but trust me I'm gonna try . I feel like this is less of rpi alternative than we all thought and more of like a Chromebook for small Linux boxes lol

@@djdarien93 the fact that they have done this sounds so monopolized which definitely does not keep with the raspberry principles to make it an alternative. Do update us if you try to change the OS

@@djdarien93 so before I messaged you I emailed them this same question and they hd this to say in response. Yes. It will always try to boot from the SD card first. So if you have a compatible OS, you can flash it and boot from there. Note that it will not boot a raspberry pi OS directly. Armbian is supported and images are on our site (see the forum for more info).
