"hidden microphone in a Chinese KVM" is the correct way to describe what is going on.

"Reusing existing stock" is not a valid excuse. They are currently selling this device without advertising that it contains a working microphone.

A working microphone and recording software and hacking tools like aircrack-ng on an otherwise stripped-down OS image...

Vendor BSPs are horrible, it would not surprise me if tools like that were included with it.

I used one that included everything in C:\Users\<actual dev's name>\Desktop in it.

Was it made in China?

[heavyset_go]

Depends on what part of the hardware or software stack you're talking about. In general, yes there Chinese software and hardware components. This BSP looks like it was an international effort.

[ghostpepper]

Aren't virtually all SBCs made in China?

I was referring to Board Support Packages
