flashed means to emmc, not to sd card right?
also there is a new image version: Trixie 6.12.y for the uConsole and DevTerm
Yes, I flashed the ClockworkPi-Bookworm-lite-6.12.40.img file onto the 64GB eMMC. However, I’m double-checking whether this might be due to a faulty CM5. After flashing, the status LED keeps blinking four times in a continuous loop.

have you tried booting the CM5 in a IO board to see if it’s functional?

So many questions!
Where can I read about the new adapter? What does it add to current functionality? Why no updates to Bookworm? Will the new adapter be available to people who already have a uConsole?
it’s not an official board

There’s 2 community made adapter boards coming out with NVME, and other features. They will be availible from the makers websites. Here’s the thread of one of them.
Trixie is the new version of Debian, Bookworm will still receive software updates from RPi and kernel updates from me through APT. Just not any more images but Bookworm will still be good for a while.

I loaded the image onto a CM5 and tried booting up the Uconsole. I had it plugged in and when I booted up it was giving me the charging state light and it booted up into the setup screen for like 3 seconds before the screen went black. I tried disconnecting everything and putting the components back but it won’t boot up at all now. Any suggestions?
On first boot the OS will boot resize the file system and reboot. Check this post out on getting the CM5 lite working correctly.
Unfortunately my CM5 is fried from that initial boot. I tried reloading the image and I can’t even get into RPI boot. My computer says power surge detected when I try to connect the pi to my computer now. What a bummer
so you’re using a emmc cm5? if so then you can ignore my last post about the eeprom. it should have just booted.
you sure it’s bricked? if you get back into rpi-boot flash the image again and make sure you don’t apply any custom settings.
if you can’t get the cm5 to recognize then i’d see if you can rma it.
Yea its a emmc cm5 and I loaded the image with a waveshare cm5 nano B. Loading the image went perfectly fine the first time but yea i’m pretty sure its bricked. Hopefully it didn’t kill the Uconsole also, I was thinking about just getting a cm4 instead and trying again.
I ended up swapping usb cables and got the cm5 to boot into rpi. I redownloaded the image and flashed it to the cm5, but when I try to boot the Uconsole all I get is the green power light. So maybe the Uconsole is what bricked.
It’s just weird that it originally booted to the setup screen but went black after about 3 seconds. Any other Ideas?
