ESP-KVM is free, open-source firmware that turns the JetKVM Mini W into an IP-KVM: the screen, keyboard and mouse of another computer in your browser, from the BIOS up. Add an HDMI capture board, flash it from the browser, and it runs with no Linux, no app and no cloud. What it does → Try the demo →

The Mini W is the JetKVM Mini with an ESP32-C5 for Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4 and 5 GHz instead of the Ethernet port. Everything else is the same box, and the steps before flashing are on the Mini's page.

The first version for this device. ESP-KVM on the Mini W is new and has not been through enough testing yet. In theory nothing can break: at worst the image does not start, and you flash it again over USB. Still, a first version is at your own risk, so make the backup from the steps on the Mini's page first: it is the only way back to the stock firmware. Once it has been tested properly, I will say so here, and from then on it can be installed without any worry.

On the first boot ESP-KVM opens its own setup hotspot, and the screen shows a code to join it. The C5 keeps the firmware it ships with. If the Wi-Fi does not come up, tell me.

ESP-KVM is a separate open-source project. It is not made, sold or supported by JetKVM.
