Has anyone managed to get virtualbox running on this yet?
Tried a few ways but had no success yet.
I have a few old windows programs that need to run on XP or earlier that I use to connect to control systems and inverter drives on site. It would be great if I could do all that off the uConsole and not have to take my laptop everywhere.
Have you tried box86 and wine? Being XP era programs they should run fine.
Thereâs baby project for VM.
XP doesnât support ARM, so it needs architecture-level emulation. Not virtualization
Had issues with Wine previously. Not heard of box86. Will give that a try. Thanks. 
I think it will be similar because itâs the same ARM.
I donât know what kind of functional constraints there are.
This looks like it might be just what I need. Thank you.
I will give it a try.
it wonât help you, but still: Running a hypervisor?
Hi Everyone - a new noob here 
Trying to follow all the discussion here⌠is it safe to get the CM5 at this point? is all the functionality working with the img posted on this thread?
Thanks a bunch! 
it wonât sometimes start, it wonât sometimes shutdown,
it may not work with each sd card (but it seems fixed)
so yes, just a few extra reboots
I was running bookworm with, I believe was the 6.6 kernel (i didnât take a pic before i ran the update so, I donât know more specifically than that). I do know that I flashed my emmc with whatever was current in late December. I got it rotated correctly now, after the login. i used [quote=âRex, post:54, topic:15847â]
sudo apt install clockworkpi-kernel clockworkpi-cm-firmware
[/quote] for the kernel update. current kernel version according to unmae -r is 6.12.16-v8+
everything else seems to be working as it should. Thanks.
I got my uConsole with cm5 yesterday and everything went smoothly. The only issues Iâm having is with the keyboard. When I press shift and @ all I get is âââ . I tried updating the keyboard firmware as shown in the GitHub but itâs giving me an error. Is firmware the issue or is it just a setting somewhere?
You have to run sudo raspi-config and select (6 Localization Options) then (L3 Keyboard) and set it to US keyboard. For some reason when you select it during account creation it doesnât set.
Ah ok im going to give it a try. So is upgrading the keyboard firmware still a thing or was that just for the cm4?
Thatâs still a thing but separate from the OS. Youâre flashing the microcontroller firmware that controls the keyboard. I recommend the QMK firmware from like 09222024 or something like that. From the 22 of September.
Loving the image, but hate having to take the battery out after every boot try :') seem to have a lot of issues getting the display to output properly. Any suggestions? Already did the above first-post modifications.
If the panel doesnât display an image then just double tap the power button to shutdown. Or hit the power button once and hit the down arrow and hit enter to reboot.
Can we setup a panel restart command a few seconds after reboot? Or does the reboot not guarantee working conditions after every execution?
reboot is not guaranteed to work but it should it be fixed soon with a kernel update.
Exact same issues here. Also I couldnât update initramfs when using apt-get update/upgrade.
Sadly, since I use my uconsole for work, I had to take the CM5 out and revert back to the CM4 and my old 6.6 image.
The crashes and the multiple reboots donât bother me so much, but when the power button goes dimly lit green, it wonât reboot or go turn off unless I take out the batteries. Thatâs not something I can repeat every other day.
Teething issues for sure though, I have faith Rex and others will fix it, and Iâm ready to try out the next image/update when it drops!
