Your distribution appears to have an issue with at least its provided software package `python3-numpy`. In a [thread regarding the HackerGadgets AIO board](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/), the user @jwhsu [asked for help](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/363) regarding a typical Python “module not found” error despite installing the given module from apt(1), as `python3-numpy`. In their [elaboration](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/374), they attached the [output of `$ dpkg -L python3-numpy`](https://app.box.com/s/3wgtz75eqpfuexrfghk4149bjxfzvq5l), which showed that numpy had been installed at `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages`, a location in which the system’s Python 3 installation hadn’t been configured to search when looking for modules. For demonstration, the following shell one-liner will print a frowney if `numpy` is not importable from Python, otherwise a smiley. ```sh printf 'import sys \ntry: import numpy \nexcept: print(" :-(",sys.path) \nelse: print(" :)")' | xargs -0 python3 -c ``` Reproduction of the issue entails checking the output of this one-liner before and after running `# apt install python3-numpy`. My idea to create a `/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/00-custom-dist-packages` to add the installation path to the searched directories seems to not have worked, but you can find our full troubleshooting in that thread and hopefully enough resources to fix it. ---

Is it a problem on a fresh bookworm install or only after installing the hackergadgets package? ---

I’m not sure. I have only tried this after the Hackergadgets package was installed. ---

> [@Rex](#): > > the cm5 has a built-in RTC that you just need to apply battery voltage too. Do you happen to know how to do this? Everything that I found was for the pi5 or a carrier board. I gather I have to get power to pin 76 on the cm5, but I have no clue where to begin trying to get to it on a uconsole. ---

You would have to be good at micro soldering and wire it right up to the CM5 adapter board. Something like this but on the appropriate pins. ![IMG_20241216_220410](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/10bc79ede8e7defdab31d758e168c90cda6bca3b.jpeg) ---

Ouch, I can barely handle macro soldering. Hopefully, one of these new main board or adapter board board projects incorporates a battery that the rtc can take advantage of. ---

hopefully if one comes out it will, like you said you only need to add a battery holder and connect it. ---

Is there something I have to do to go from an A06 core to CM5? I’ve tried the Bookworm and ParrotHome images but both the integrated and externals screens stay blank. ---

do you have a CM5 lite or EMMC? if lite what size SD card are you using? did you apply any custom settings when flashing the image? ---

No emmc, I’ve tried a 1TB sd card and a few 64gb cards. They work with the A06 but not the CM5. I’ve used balenta etcher and the raspberry pi imager. Running default config. ---

the cm5 has a issue with booting off sd cards in the uconsole. in the first post it outlines that you need to edit the eeprom in the bootloader but you need the cm5 booted for that. the smaller the card the better chances of it working to get it booted, to edit the eeprom. this is the one i used and it worked first time and it has worked with other as well. if you don’t have one that works. > **[Amazon.com: TEAMGROUP A2 Pro Plus Card 128GB Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30,...](https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-Nintendo-Switch-Smartphones-Shooting-TPPMSDX128GIA2V3003/dp/B0C658CNKY)** > > TEAMGROUP PRO+ Memory Card supports UHS-1 Speed Class 3 (U3) and video speed class V30, features read/write speeds of up to 160MB/s and 110 MB/s, and complies with application performance class 2 (A2).
