Vileer connects over shh? Iā€™m confused as to how?

wifi most likely, the cm5 boots thereā€™s just a problem with the devicetree overlay thatā€™s not compatible between the cm4 and cm5. iā€™ve made a 3rd revision of a cm5 image and broke apart the overlay so they can report back what pieces are failing to load.

Sweet, I canā€™t wait for this to workā€¦ HL2 on the CM4 is too choppy! XD

Vileer replied you are right, but for him USB works too!

Damned display!

Iā€™m really curious what could stop working when the devices are the same?

wifi works; you have to connect an HDMI display and an external keyboard and mouse to set it up.

I donā€™t have a RPi CM5 yet but Iā€™ve got a group DM going with folks that have a RPi CM5 trying to get it to work with the uConsole/DevTerm. If you have received a RPi CM5, let me know so I can add you to the testing group.
Thereā€™s currently 3 people that have CM5s I know about and they live on the opposite side of the world, so testing is going slow.

Getting tired of waiting for my adapter board, do you think a CM4s will work? I see an earlier report from someone that used a different OS and it worked. Only problem is that Iā€™m only finding emmc versions, and no onboard wifi. If I could find an 8GB lite I would have already ordered it.

Fired up my Devterm a06 and Iā€™m just kind of stunned by how much I hate this. Everytime I turn it on it seems to perform worse than I remembered.

Iā€™m not sure, Iā€™ve never tried a CM4s in it. it should for the most part Iā€™d think, except wifi/bt.

All Iā€™m finding are 1G lite and 8G/32G versions. 1g is not going to be enough, and the carrier board for the emmc versions puts this up to high to consider for a test ($172usd on Amazon for CM4s 8/32 and carrier combo).

I looked on ebay didnā€™t find any CM4s, but I should have ordered 10 of the uConsole to sell, $400usd is the low price.

@rex am getting the dev kit on monday may i ? :smile:

Funny doh , i will have the cm module before my uconsole :joy: (ā€œsuposedly in this december batchā€)

The CM4s are a little hard to justify.
@Anthony_Bernier_Rome Iā€™ll add you. Iā€™m busy right now but if I get some time later Iā€™ll work on it and put a update to test with the CM5.

I also have received my CM5 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC, WLAN

@Rex would love to help and test :wink:

I added you to the group DM, Iā€™m pretty busy today but I hope I have some time tonight to put something out to test.

Hi. I feel silly for asking for this, but I have been trying to get sticky keys working for one handed typing. Itā€™s way harder as the usual methods do not work on Wayland.

Sorry, but Iā€™m not sure. Iā€™d look on the Raspberry Pi forum.

@Rex Iā€™m happy to submit more PRs if youā€™ve need something (auto build pipelines, webhook triggers,ā€¦)

If you see something Iā€™m more then happy to add it, the kernel builds are done locally and tested before being added to the repo. Iā€™ve got that all setup with minimal interaction needed on my part.

Open source projects have free use of github actions, this can be paired with a very large storage for latest releases (you donā€™t have to deal with mega and the rest of the mirrors). Automated pipelines can ope up the project for contributors as well.
As youā€™re the project owner, the direction it takes is your decision :smile:
