So, I'm an IT guy, but he never messed with Pico or RPi before.
I have several questions if you may.
1. Why is it a jack for the pinout(GPIOs) not included in the package?
2. How can I obtain one of those?
3. What are the pins that I'm supposed to use for power and reset buttons?
(Just in case I need to power on the PC remotely or forcefully reboot it)

Hello! You can refer to the pinout diagram at https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-PicoKVM/Introduction. You can use the SH1.0-10Pin socket for connection. We will release related expansion kits later to facilitate connection to the computer host.

Hi!
I'm looking into https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-PicoKV ... efinition- and can't understand what I need to connect to RESET button pins and what I need to connect to POWER button pins. Help me, please, pinout isn't helpful.

Is there any update on which pins that can be used to connect to the reset pins on the target machine? Thanks.

Now we have launched the expansion kit https://www.waveshare.com/luckfox-picokvm-ext.htm, which can be used in conjunction with the latest firmware.
To control it solely with GPIO, you need to have some hardware knowledge and know how to control the power-on through the level. Only GPIO1_D3 and GPIO1_D2 can be used for level output.
Some machines can be started with a pull-up or pull-down signal (such as industrial control hosts), in which case you can directly output to the GPIO.
Other machines are started by shorting two pins (such as computer motherboards). In this case, you can connect one of the pins to the GND of PicoKVM and the other to the GPIO of PicoKVM. Pulling down the GPIO will achieve the shorting effect. This implementation lacks protection, and the luckfox-picokvm-ext is designed to provide protection and lower the wiring threshold.
