Hi guys!

When I saw this tiny little guy, I had to go in and get it. And so I received it today. My first experience is…the software is a bit rough at the moment. And now I’m having trouble with the keyboard detection. It’s no longer working, and I"m not sure what’s wrong. Basically, it worked initially, but after I unplugged it to dump some isos onto it*, the USB keyboard emulation seems to no longer work.

And since I’m one of the very first users…I think have no documentation (yay). I see there’s a Chinese forum where more people mention a USB keyboard issue, but I don’t think this is sorted.

Anyone else tried it? How’s your experiences so far? Any ideas how to fix the keyboard issues? Still, for all its initial wonkiness, I clearly see this as the future for a KVM device, instead of a full blown Raspberry Pi board, which I think is a bit overkill.

*: The ‘full’ version comes with an embedded 32GB microSD, of which 8GB is for the OS, but the remainder is a separate partition for ISOs…you connect it as a USB storage to a PC and drop your ISOs there. At the moment you don’t seem to be able to mount a random file from your PC via the browser UI. Only ISO files it already has in its own storage.

    Yeah I agree with that. I was giving it a spin. They produced a release with open source attached on github, but not sure how much of the source is in there, and that release seems to be a bit outdated compared to the release I got running on my nanoKVM right now.
