1# OpenBMC IpKVM Server 2 3The obmc-ikvm application is a VNC server that provides access to the host 4graphics output. The application interfaces with the video device on the BMC 5that captures the host graphics, and then serves that video data on the RFB 6(remote framebuffer, also known as VNC) protocol. The application also 7interfaces with the BMC USB gadget device to pass HID events from the BMC to the 8host, allowing the user to interact with the host system. 9 10## Usage 11 12Once the host is running and an appropriate HID gadget device is instantiated on 13the BMC, the application can be started with the following command: 14`obmc-ikvm -v <video device path> -i <HID gadget device path>` 15 16For example: 17 18`obmc-ikvm -v /dev/video0 -i /dev/hidg0` 19
