Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 6.6.30 for the uConsole and DevTerm

  • Clockworkpi Kernel held at 6.6.30 - Don’t force update the kernel.
  • Auto-expanding File System.
  • Correct Monitor rotation out the box.
  • Sane charging defaults applied.
  • External WiFi antenna already set in config.txt.
  • Works with both DevTerm and uConsole.
  • A few clockworkpi images for wallpapers.

Raspberry Pi Imager will cause image not to boot if you apply custom settings.

This image will work on both the DevTerm and uConsole.
There are two display panels listed in the config.txt
Located in /boot of the sd card.
devterm-panel <------ DevTerm
devterm-panel-uc <— uConsole
Comment out the pannel that’s not needed.
The DevTerm panel is the default panel. SO CHECK!!

Image never booted so first boot setup is still there.

I have added a few working images and kernels with the *.deb files to install in the mega folder if you want for different OSs. There is a new audio patch in the kernel folder, raspi-gpio has been deprecated and the old script doesn’t work anymore. It’s already applied in the 6.6.30 image.

Google Drive link for the main image if Mega doesn’t work for you.

If you have any problems, tweaks, gamepad profiles or quality of life improvements, comment below.

Not working…





Here’s the Github with the rpi-6.6.y branch if you’d like to compile yourself. All the ClockworkPi drivers are pre-marked to compile in bcm2711_defconfig.

Now I just need my uConsole!!! Hit me up @AlexDuan!!!

Is this image already has pre-disabled kernel update(as it was on 6.1)?

3

Yes it does and I’m going to work on a repository to apt update the kernel. I’ll set a build script up to do it once a month. I’ll post here when I get that completed. You’ll just have to add the repository when I’m done.

fixed it.

  1. add next line

xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right

to the file

/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

  1. Add next lines

[X11]
DisplayCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

to the file

/var/lib/sddm/state.conf

reboot.

after i got correct rotation right after boot. maybe it will help

The last small issue is with the sound while play VCMI. Small glitches appears when on stock clockwork image everything is fine and audio is clear

disappeared when selected pulse-audio and rebooted in raspi-config

For Arch, usually this is enough:

does retropie works with wayland anyone?

11

I know retroarch and emulationstation does.

12

Thank you for this! The 6.6.30 kernel fixed the problems I had with hardware accelerated video decode.

13

It would be great to integrate your work in Armbian - only I have no clue how to get it in there.

It would also take care of the distribution - Mega is, well, not so Mega :wink:

I downloaded the 6.6 kernel file from Mega. I thought the zips were going to be .deb files but they are just folders with a lot of subfiles. how is that supposed to be installed? I already have the previous image with the 6.1 kernel running own my console. and I would lie to update the kernel rather than redeploying a new OS on the system. is that possible to do with the files in that download?

15

Yes, the contents of the “out” folder needs to be dumped in the boot partition and the other folder gets dumped in the root partition.

cp -r out/* $bootfs/
cp -r lib/* $roofs/lib/

Something like that

16

Thanks I’ll make a backup of this SD card and then give that a shot.

17

Appears gpio isn’t working thus breaking the 4G extension script.

The brightness keys are easily fixed with brightnessctl as mentioned in one of the previous image threads.

18

The original patches used now deprecated commands. I had to rework the audio patch to work. I can take a look and see what’s going on but I don’t have a the 4g card or a uConsole. So I can’t test it.

19

What commands are you using for the gpio?

Here’s the script.
