There’s no DAC on the CM5 or the uConsole. They’re getting trying to activate the DAC the on the 5c or on the IO board. We need analog PWM audio via the GPIO and it looks like the CM5 is not capable of doing it. One of the channels that’s connected to the GPIO does support PWM but not analog audio.

Rex is it possible to flash the internal emmc with this OS image using rkdevtool. As it would be faster. And just use the sd card slot for storage.
I don’t think you can do it from the uConsole, you’ll need an IO board to flash the EMMC.

So can we dual boot this way have 1 os on emmc and other on sd card. Also do we have a build of retropie .img for the Radxa thanks.
If you have a OS on the EMMC that will be the OS that starts every time. You can change the boot order in the bootloader but you’d have to do that every time.
I’ll add a retropie image for the radxa to my list.

I get random crashes (black-screens) after ~ 5min use, and when crash happens power button is not responsive, so I have to remove back-cover then batteries. I thought this was due to upgrading the the OS, but I get the same result with freshly flash OS. I am using the Radxa CM5 32GB 256GB model. 4G module is connected and does not work. Anyone experiencing theses issues?
when the crash happens are you on battery or mains?

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am on battery, it was (~88%) when I last checked before the crash.
It’s a battery issue, it could be one of the following. Your battery tray is not fully seated. Make sure your battery tray is like this post
Your batteries are bad in one way or another. What brand and mAh are they?
Check your battery board to make sure it’s connected right, if not replace your batteries. Use the device on Mains power see if it crashes again the same way. I’m sure it won’t though.

Right on! The battery was not fully seated. I re-seated it correctly and it’s been ON for more than 5 min now. Battery is not house hold name (Ltrrysoa) I got it from amazon bc it claims 9900mA (we will see about that).
On a different subject, It is OK to update/upgrade the OS (apt upgrade) ? Thank you

9900mAh is definitely a fake battery. The upper limit is 4,000 mAh for this size battery. Most you’ll see are 3500 or below. Yes you can upgrade if you do a dist-upgrade you might replace the custom kernel with Radxas stock one, so don’t do that.
