Using an sbc or tv box for remote control of server (like ipmi)


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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?

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
