Hi I received my unconsole last week - and I’ve been experimenting with it. I have the CM5 board in… and can’t seem to get a bluetooth keyboard/mouse paired with it. Any tricks to make that turn on? Wifi works. I am running now, the ClockworkPi-Ubuntu-24.04-6.12.45.img Looking at USB/PCI - should I see bluetooth? root@uconsole:/# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.

you should have a bluetooth icon in system tray, can you please run in terminal: ```auto $ sudo bluetoothctl list $ sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service ``` ---

This what I ordered in terms of CM5: | 5542-SC1598 | Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, Wireless, 8GB RAM, Lite - CM5108000 | | | --- | --- | --- | The bluetooth icon shows up, but it doesn’t find anything. ---

did you connect your wifi/bluetooth antenna to cm5? not to the mainboard? does your wifi works? can you please run in terminal: ```auto $ sudo bluetoothctl list $ sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service ``` ---
