* **Easy to build**
A ready-to-use OS that can be created just by running `make build` and installed to an SD-card using `make install`. The hardware can be made in half an hour and without soldering.
* **The widest hardware support**
There are many ways to build a Pi-KVM. Video capture devices can be attached using the CSI-2 or USB interfaces. Raspberry Pi models 2, 3, 4, or Zero W may be used. Any combination of hardware is supported, and Pi-KVM implements the maximum possible set of features.

# Required hardware
Pi-KVM supports several different hardware configurations, referred to as **platforms**. At the moment, there are two main ones: **v0** and **v2**.
* **v0** was designed to work with Raspberry Pi boards that do not have OTG (**Raspberry Pi 2** and **3**) and requires a few more components for a basic implementation. It also does not support the Mass Storage Drive feature.
* **v2** is the most modern implementation supporting all of the features of Pi-KVM. It was designed to work with the **Raspberry Pi 4** and **Zero W**.
* **v2** is the most modern implementation supporting all of the features of Pi-KVM. It was designed to work with the **Raspberry Pi 4** and **ZeroW**.
**It is recomended to buid v2 since it supports all features including the Mass Storage Drive feature. It's also the easiest to make.**
**Hardware for v2**
* Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB model is enough) or Zero W. The Pi 4 is reccomended because the Zero W is very slow.
