CM4 & CM5 uConsole Setup Guides with Scripts

I have working on making complete, step-by-step build guides and automated deployment scripts for the uConsole (both CM4 & CM5 based) and the HackerGadgets AIO v2 extension board and their NVMe/Battery board as well. These guides are based on and are using the OS Images that @Rex has so generously compiled and released and has put SO MUCH effort into; making the uConsole a bit accessible by making it easier to setup and use. My hopes with this all is to further support and contribute to Rex’s work and efforts as well as to the project and community!

Will you have an Ubuntu tutorial? I can get all the OSes (including Ubuntu) to boot from a microSD card and all but Ubuntu will also boot if I install to NVMe. Ubuntu, however, won’t boot from the NVMe. I’m not the only person with this problem so if you have any tricks to get it to work, please create a tutorial for it!

I can work on that next for sure!

:waving_hand: Thank you for checking this all out and I will get back to you as SOON as I can regarding a Ubuntu guide :slight_smile:

I pushed a fix (1d40fe7) that makes the AIO stage fail with a specific, actionable error message instead of the generic error currently. I also pushed a second fix (a78892f) that runs dpkg --configure -a and apt-get -f install automatically at the start of the AIO phase, so an interrupted dpkg state (e.g. from a killed process or dropped session during a prior attempt) won’t cause confusing downstream failures.

If you pull the latest script, it should now give a clearer error to paste back here (or on Github) if you do run into any issues.
