The Openterface KVM Ext. for uConsole is a compact extension board crafted to unlock new capabilities for your uConsole. Designed as a plug-and-play solution, it transforms your uConsole into a fully functional KVM console, eliminating the need to carry extra monitors, keyboards, or mice when managing headless devices.
Setup is straightforward: simply replace your uConsole’s 4G/LTE module with the KVM extension board, install the Openterface Connect App, and you’re ready to control target devices directly. Whether you’re an IT technician maintaining servers in the field, a developer debugging embedded systems, or a maker working with single-board computers, this extension turns your uConsole into an all-in-one control hub.
Built on the open-source Openterface KVM platform, it’s designed to grow with community input—perfect for users who want to customize functionality to their needs.

Open Source Plans:
We’re not quite ready to share the code just yet there’s still some tidying up to do behind the scenes! But good news: we’re diving into the beta phase, and once hardware and software are feeling nice and polished, we’ll fling the doors open for everyone to explore.
In the meantime, we’re growing a fun open-source crew over on Reddit at r/Openterface_miniKVM. It’s where IT pros and enthusiasts can chat bugs, brainstorm cool new features, and even cook up custom tweaks that fit their needs all to keep the innovation and collaboration vibes going strong.
We’d love your help shaping this project, and any contributions will definitely get a big shoutout in our thank-you list. Thanks for sticking with us while we spruce things up we’re almost there! 😊
