Vileer connects over shh? I’m confused as to how?

wifi most likely, the cm5 boots there’s just a problem with the devicetree overlay that’s not compatible between the cm4 and cm5. i’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 can’t wait for this to work… HL2 on the CM4 is too choppy! XD

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

Damned display!

I’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 don’t have a RPi CM5 yet but I’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.
There’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 I’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 I’m just kind of stunned by how much I hate this. Everytime I turn it on it seems to perform worse than I remembered.

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

All I’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 didn’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: (“suposedly in this december batch”)

The CM4s are a little hard to justify.
@Anthony_Bernier_Rome I’ll add you. I’m busy right now but if I get some time later I’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, I’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. It’s way harder as the usual methods do not work on Wayland.

Sorry, but I’m not sure. I’d look on the Raspberry Pi forum.

@Rex I’m happy to submit more PRs if you’ve need something (auto build pipelines, webhook triggers,…)

If you see something I’m more then happy to add it, the kernel builds are done locally and tested before being added to the repo. I’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 don’t have to deal with mega and the rest of the mirrors). Automated pipelines can ope up the project for contributors as well.
As you’re the project owner, the direction it takes is your decision :smile:
