And the serial console is available over USB UART (SBU)
If it's attempting to be a covert op it's doing either a terrible job or a very advanced one.
It is similar to NanoKVM-Pro, and indeed one may also install PiKVM on that commercial hardware.
Given that very distinctive "JetKVM" shape, I am now 99% sure I've seen this gadget someplace last year, If I recall the Mandarin Chinese name (difficult for me), I will post the hardware URI.
One may be surprised how much hardware includes unsigned firmware OTA updates. And someone will need to audit the stack to check if it has that common problem, and predict if it also has SoM specific Linux kernel requirements.
The Raspberry Pi foundation isn't just hardware, but comes with a proven 10 year OS lifecycle. =3
It's been on KickStarter for about a year at this point - could that be where you'd seen it?
The item was promoted on a China e-store site for awhile, and caught my eye given a video encoded streaming kvm at that price point seemed like "optimistic" marketing. I spend a lot of time sourcing electrical parts, optical components, and metric 304 steel fasteners on these sites.
It might be possible something popped up that looked very similar to the Kickstarter ad. Could also just have been a 4th container product run common with China CM exports. =3
