#### A few words about HDMI-USB dongle
It's completely supported and Pi-KVM works great with it. But it has some disadvantages compared with recommended [HDMI-CSI bridge](https://aliexpress.com/item/4000102166176.html): USB gives a lot of latency (200ms vs 100ms for MJPEG) and it doesn't support stream compression control (you won't be able to use Pi-KVM in a place with a poor internet connection). There is no H.264 support at the moment. It also cannot automatically detect screen resolution. All this is caused by the hardware limitations of the dongle itself. In addition, some users report hardware problems: the dongle may not work in the BIOS or simply stop working after a while. It's a black box, and no one knows what's inside it. If you have problems with it, it will not be possible to fix them.

# Installing the OS
Here the final steps. There are two ways to get the Pi-KVM OS:
* We provide the ready-made images for **Raspberry Pi 4** for platforms **v2-hdmi** (the CSI-2 bridge) and **v2-hdmiusb** (the USB dongle); and for **ZeroW** for **v2-hdmi** [Follow these instructions](pages/flashing_os.md) to install the OS quickly.
* We provide the ready-made images for **Raspberry Pi 4** for platforms v3, **v2-hdmi** (the CSI-2 bridge) and **v2-hdmiusb** (the USB dongle); for **ZeroW** **v2-hdmi** [Follow these instructions](pages/flashing_os.md) to install the OS quickly.
* For the other boards and platforms, you need to build the operating system manually. Don't worry, it's very simple! [Just follow these instructions](pages/building_os.md). You can also build the OS for RPi4 manually if you really want to :)
