Dear Rex,
First of all, I want to thank you for the exceptional work you have done with these images. I was also wondering if you accepted donations for your efforts. Additionally, I would like to know if there is a guide available on how to build the image using your kernel.
Thank you once again, and congratulations on your excellent work!
Thanks for the accolades I appreciate it!
In my bio there’s a linktree link that has a link to my GitHub where there is a project called Pi-Gen that is used to build this image. I’d suggest checking it out, do some customizing, and build a image. If you have a different distro in mind you can shoot me a DM and I’ll help you get it working.
There is a buymeacoffee link in my linktree too if you want to donate.
Thanks for the images. The display is rotated on my display. Am I missing something?
What screen is rotated. Are you using the lite version with your choice of desktop or the full version?
Having issues where wifi refuses to connect anyone else having this issue? Almost like it is not using the antenna? Really slow speed. I know it is not hardware as if I use the build that comes with the uconsole it works fine.
I am getting the same issue
Is your stock antenna stuck to the case like in the instructions? If so that’s your problem. The stock image doesn’t have the external antenna enabled by default. This image has the external antenna enabled by default and if it’s stuck to the case the case causes interference so the Wi-Fi won’t work correctly.
No I am running an external antenna and not the stock one. if I use the sd that came with the uconsole the signal is max and connect first time speed test shows full network speed.
so you don’t have an antenna plugged into the CM4? Then you’ll have to disable the external antenna by removing dtparam=ant2 line from the config.txt
You’ll get a lot better wifi if you use a external antenna and have it mounted right.
if you do have a external antenna is it plugged in on the CM4 or the clockwork mainboard?
the CM4 cannot access the WiFi on the clockwork mainboard, you’ll need to plug it into the WiFi port on the CM4.
Cheers will give it a bash and check. Thought it just plugged in where the instructions when building it say. Will give it a go thanks.
Perfect it was me I have moved it direct to the CM4 all is working properly now thank you!
In my case I had macchanger installed. And something in the update broke it. Uninstalling macchanger fixed the issue for me.
if your wifi stops working altogether after doing an upgrade just open a terminal and type sudo raspi-config.
choose advanced option then at the bottom choose network config, choose option 1 “dhcpcd”. reboot and you should have wifi back.
they just had the wifi antenna plugged into the wrong spot.
you will not have to do what you suggested after a upgrade with this image.
Hey, thanks for your effort!
How exactly do you build the kernel packages with headers as seen in your APT repo for LTS kernel updates? I’d like to reproduce the build process. Do you mind sharing your script(s) or describing the necessary steps?
At the end of the day, all I want to have is a clean image of Raspberry Pi OS Lite that is as close to the original as it can get (no added bloat, just with the uConsole-specific drivers and firmware).
I put a zip file in the mega link called kernel2deb.zip you just need to put your kernel files in the project folder, update the kernel version and build.
Rex,
Thanks for your hard work on the Bookworm upgrade. It works great!
I was wondering if you could add pan_mesa_debug or OpenGL 3.2 support tbh I don’t even know how to do it
