Kiwi App v1.6.2 September Release — Sept. 9, 2026
This September release focuses on reliability and a smoother experience across Kiwi and Kiwi+ devices, with fixes for firmware updates, device detection, and video status handling.
For Pro and Plus users, we’ve also added a new Boot Mouse toolbar button that appears when Boot Mode (BIOS/UEFI) is detected, making mouse control during BIOS/UEFI setup easier to access.
Release Notes:
* Fixed a firmware update issue on MacOS for Kiwi+
* Fixed a timer bug in video status check
* Reduced false alarm about 'USB2 cable' when detecting Kiwi
* [Pro/Plus only] Added a mouse toolbar button to help user enable/disable mouse support when the Boot Mode is detected (in BIOS)

See how Cytrence Kiwi can transform QNX development by bringing powerful capabilities directly into your workflow.
In this video, we explore how Kiwi helps QNX developers work faster and more efficiently with:
* Direct GUI access: interact with your QNX environment directly through the graphical interface, making development, debugging, and testing more intuitive.
* Seamless integration: fit Kiwi into existing QNX development workflows without changing the configuration and setup.
* Native performance: take advantage of the performance and responsiveness of native QNX environments for demanding embedded applications.
* Faster development cycles: reduce friction between writing code, running applications, testing, and diagnosing issues.
* A more streamlined developer experience: bring development tools and capabilities closer to the target environment, helping teams build and iterate with greater efficiency.
Whether you're developing automotive systems, industrial applications, robotics, or other embedded solutions on QNX, Cytrence Kiwi helps bridge the gap between development and the running system.

We're thrilled to see the Cytrence Kiwi+ Drive featured in a full-length tutorial created by the legendary on YouTube!
Cytrence Kiwi+ is designed with day-to-day development workflows in mind, and edge AI devices like Jetson have been a perfect use case since Kiwi's inception.
It's an absolute honor to see Kiwi's wide range of functionalities, even the UART debugging, explained so clearly in such an insightful and concise demo.
Thank you, , for showcasing Kiwi+!

Cytrence Kiwi App v1.6.0 Release
---
As Kiwi continues to mature, we're moving from monthly releases to quarterly releases. This isn't because development is slowing down, quite the opposite, Kiwi has reached a level of stability and quality that allows our engineering team to spend more time focused on the next generation of products instead of frequent maintenance releases. What's new in v1.6.0?
🔐 Official Vendor ID issued by USB.ORG
We're proud to announce that Cytrence has officially obtained our own USB Vendor ID from usb.org, making us the first USB KVM manufacturer to achieve this milestone. Owning our own Vendor ID reflects our commitment to security, standards compliance, and long-term product integrity for enterprise deployments.
🏗️ Preparing for the Next Generation
A significant portion of this release focuses on strengthening Kiwi's underlying architecture to support our expanding hardware lineup. The first product to benefit will be Kiwi+ VGA, which will be available for pre-order soon.
🖥️ Improved BIOS Experience
We've enhanced BIOS compatibility with the addition of Boot-Mode Mouse, allowing graphical BIOS interfaces from major motherboard vendors to be navigated with a mouse during boot. Not every KVM can do that. Checkout the demo video and try with your own Kiwi after upgrading to v1.6.0.
… and more details at Cytrence.com/release-notes
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Kiwi and provide valuable feedback. We're excited for what's ahead and can't wait to share more about Kiwi+ VGA and the rest of our upcoming product roadmap.

SBC w/Camera Made Easy! It's impressive to see how quickly our intern 2026, Christian D., was able to set up a camera project with a Raspberry Pi Zero in his very first week, using the Cytrence Kiwi+ device assembled by himself!
Follow along for more details and project updates in the coming weeks!
Bringing Kubernetes to Air-Gapped environments? Here’s how Cytrence Kiwi makes it simple!
Kubernetes-driven workflows offer huge advantages beyond Cloud, especially for enterprises. However, air-gapped environments are still everywhere, with security leading the way.
Cytrence Kiwi solves the “Air-Gap” challenge by enabling seamless, secure deployment of containerized workloads; no continuous external connectivity required. On top of the inherently secure USB3 KVM, the latest Kiwi+ models further enhance the localized-physical connectivity for point-to-point data transfer.

Exciting update from the recent Nvidia GTC’26: Cytrence Kiwi delivered a smooth and reliable experience throughout the DGX Spark workshop.
Behind the scenes, the Nvidia DGX Spark workshop team conducted a series of careful evaluations, ultimately selecting Kiwi for its clean, near-agnostic setup:
• With just a few cables connected, the host laptop could access DGX Spark right from boot time
• The seamless KiwiApp experience allowed participants to stay fully focused on their tasks, without worrying about the environment
For those new to Cytrence Kiwi, this is a great example of how Kiwi can support day-to-day workflows. In this case, it proved to be a natural fit for on-desktop AI computing for enabling distraction-free work with state-of-the-art DGX Spark systems.
We’re honored that Kiwi’s simplicity has made a meaningful difference in such a hands-on workshop setting and looking forward to seeing more teams adopt similar setups!

Thank You The MagPi Magazine for organizing! Great opportunity to experience the new Kiwi+ first-hand.
Win 1 of 5 Kiwi+ USB KVMs — Raspberry Pi Official Magazine About a year ago we reviewed the Kiwi USB KVM and were quite surprised with how well it worked for the price point compared to big name brand capture devices. The team at Cytrence took users (and our) feedback to create the upgraded Kiwi+ with a USB hub that can switch between both devices. We […]
