@Yulia Marid Hello，
Do you want to install PiKVM-A3 kit? Could you please provide more details? so that we can provide you with any assistance.
Hello, I bought the PiKVM-A4 kit. All works well except the OLED screen. I tested it on an arduino and it works. I have enabled the screen in the terminal and it is active in the PiKCM settings. How to check if the X630-A4 board has a problem? Thanks
Hello, This is normal and not a problem with X630-A4. Because the screen will not work if the mirror is used with PI ZERO. PIKVM OS has not solved this problem.If the system fixes it, the screen will be available. Hope to get your understanding. Thanks~
Hi, official audio support is added. Is this working on Geekworm A3? Can you add instructions for how to connect I2S to X630? https://docs.pikvm.org/audio/
@Snuupy Snup Hi，
The I2S Audio in（10pin SH1.0 connector） of X630-A3 is for I2S HDMI audio support. But you need a I2S cable.
I noticed on a new install, I was having several errors in the system log every 5 seconds related to kvmd-watchdog. I used the v3 Hat version of PiKVM on the A8 PCIe product. It appears to be a difference in the hardware used by the official PiKVM hat and the GeekWork A8 hardware.

Thanks,
Tom
I have a working kit.
However I only get video using an HDMI-HDMI lead.
When I use an HDMI-VGA lead there is "No signal". This same lead works fine to a monitor.
I am trying others - as Amazon has a good free return system!
Can you point me to a lead that works with the PiKVM.
This issue is surprising, as I maintain dozens of SuperMicros and they all have VGA sockets. In fact I haven't encountered *one* computer with an HDMI socket built in.
Thanks for sharing this great official documentation. I'll leave you a message after reading about it.

@Lisa ZHANG How can I purchase the "I2S cable (10pin SH1.0 connector)" ?
@Lisa ZHANG I have two 10pin SH1.0 connectors now. could you let me know the pin assigns of the cables? (reverse, strait, or else)
