Bookworm 6.12.y for the uConsole and DevTerm

I checked the dmesg outputs you sent me and the panel is working fine before and after updating. Something wrong with the update they did.

are these magical THEY in the room right now?

They as in RPi and the update to raspi-config that kills the display for @Alejandro

Hi Rex, here’s the issue that I’ve opened..

If there’s anything I might’ve missed or that I need to change let me know.

Thanks again!

EDIT: P33M suggests there is a recent pull that might fix this issue, but I’m not able to test it because doing the sudo rpi-update pulls/6936 command they suggests leaves the device unbootable.

I’m compiling the kernel with the changes, I’ll post a link to test it. If it fixes it let them know it’s fixed and close the report.

Hey, first, thank you for your work on this. I just got my CM4 assembled and working, tested it with the stock build, then swapped over to yours.

I swapped off of the Wayland environment because of lousy performance with some software like FLDigi and it’s working great. However, I think I’ve run into a kernel driver bug.

My radio (FX-4CR) has a CH341 UART - looking a dmesg, it’s failling to set up /probe with " ch341-uart ttyUSB0: probe with driver ch341-uart failed with error -32"

I went back to the stock build and verified it works. Following the below thread about this issue, I tried the new kernel pull, but it appears to have bricked my CM4 - I’m guessing the patched version missing uConsole specific drivers.

In any case, it looks like current kernel builds break that particular USB UART. I know my use is an edge case, but would appreciate that getting wrapped back in whenever they get it fixed.

Thanks!

I have merged that patch into my kernel. sudo apt update && sudo apt reinstall clockworkpi-kernel to reinstall the current kernel with the change, reboot, test, and tell me if it fixed it.

Yup that fixed it. I have my uConsole running JTDX driving my FX-4CR successfully.

THANKS!

The raspi-config WM screen blank issue seems to have been addressed by raspi-config Ver. 20250707

Using Rex’s 6.12.y latest - fresh install with CM4. When I connect an external HDMI display, uconsole display turns to the left. I can see the desktop on the external display and displayed correctly but the menus only display on the uconsole screen and not the external display. Any idea on how to correct?

I think someone had a fix in the other bookworm thread, i’ll have to look for it later.

Thanks for your time!

What about trixie for the uconsole (beta).

Give me a couple hours and I’ll have a Trixie image built for you.

There’s a lot of problems building the image from scratch right now. The suggested route is to change out the repos for trixie and upgrade. I’ll keep an eye on it and build a fresh image for it when it’s closer to release.
