johanvdw Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Hi, I wonder if anyone has experience using an sbc (or tv box) for remote controlling a server. I think the necessary pieces are there on many boards (many have camera inputs which could perhaps be used for video, it looks like some even have an hdmi in). I found this [1] project, but it uses some extra hardware I'd like to avoid. https://github.com/Fmstrat/diy-ipmi Has anyone done anything similar? Note I'm mostly looking into this to gain knowledge, not to put this in production in a real world situation.
johanvdw Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 Okay, perhaps I should limit the scope: is there an sbc (or set top box) which can take hdmi in and encode it? I have seen orangepi rk3399 has an input port, but is it supported?
e97 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Yes, I've used older RK3288 STB with HDMI-IN. In the end, went with a server motherboard with IPMI. It may be possible to use the serial console and an arduino or pi
