* On PiKVM V3 or V4, you have a built-in USB-UART adapter in your device. Just disconnect the OTG cable and place the USB-C end into `IOIOI` port on V4 (or `CON` port on V3). Place the USB-A end into the port you want serial to be accessed, typically done on the host. If you have a Windows host, you may need to install this [driver](https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), other OS's may not need one. * On PiKVM V3 or V4, you have a built-in USB-UART adapter in your device.
