This is a great device but I can't imagine giving so much power and control to a closed-source, self-updating device.

Hey, billions of people use Windows and Mac OS.

But billions of people don't use Sipeed NanoKVM that gets an OOBM access to critical infrastructure
Yeah mine is on a non-internet-routed VLAN for that purpose. I access it through my vpn only. It doesn't even have outgoing internet access.
many more use closed source kvm solutions built-in into servers, so...
as an homelabber, i'm using HP's iLO on my gen8 microserver for example.
They opened the standalone unit, assuming this will be also?

i'm using one of the pcie ones right now, it's pretty nice.
uses exactly the same firmware image as the little usb ones. i also have one of the "full" and "mini" usb ones.
have connected it to the motherboard headers for power, reset, leds etc... including usb directly to motherboard header. documentation is pretty decent, was quite easy.
would still be better if it contained a usb hub on the pcie port, but they've basically just modified their existing design for poe/pcie power in addition to the preexisting usb, and slapped it on a card.
