i had a similar problem with a new uconole after setting up i realize the adapter board would not click in when i push it down, had to tweak the metal tab a bit to get it to lock in place

yeah that was one of my issues indeed indeed. It was back alll the way, just could not get it fully clicked down initially. Had to fiddle a bit with the clips.
Still think it would have worked, my issue turned out to be something different, but glad it was noticed before i took it on the (potentially bumpy) road 
Because would have become an issue later prob.
What if you already have the CM5 with EMMC storage. Can you still use the new adapter board for NVME instead of the EMMC or are you stuck just booting off the EMMC?
Yes, you can use the NVME to boot when you have EMMC.
Hi,
I noticed that the board has a “USB-C port for flashing: can be used to flash the eMMC version computer module.”
Does this mean I don’t need a developer board to flash the eMMC module?
Also, is there any documentation on how to use this port for flashing?
Thanks!
Nope that port is power only.
ask in the board thread!
It was confirmed that you can use the USB-C flashing port to upload firmware without a developer board.
That is a addon board and not part of the stock uConsole. This thread has nothing to do with that adapter. So when you ask about the USB C port I assume you mean the stock USB C port on the device. You made no mention of the addon adapter board.
Apologies for the confusion. I was not aware that this was an addon board
Hi Rex,
my cm5 lite version with 16gb ram not able to boot up, i followed your instructions but no luck for the 16gb ram cm5, the cm5 is working fine on my waveshare nano b io board.
And my cm5 8gb ram and 4 gb ram all are lite version are working on uconsole by your steps on eeprom config.
please help if any changes can make the 16gb ram cm5 working? thanks!
mine is with a CM5 lite and 16GRam as well. made sure my eeprom has been updated and its good to go. nothing special to be done…
Thanks your for reply, i am still struggle with the cm5 16gb ram lite to make it go!
Don’t know why till now…..I try couples os image provided by rex in this post.
did you manage to upgrade the eeprom? and edit the config file? thats really important. i’m using a 256GB high endurance card if it makes any difference. but prior to make those changes, the system boots rather unreliably.
BOOT_ORDER=0xf461 means boot off SD card first (1) then NVMe (6) then USB (4) and, finally repeat the process (f)
The boot order is read from right to left, according to the RPi manual
BOOT_ORDER Description
0xf41 Try SD first, followed by USB-MSD then repeat (default if BOOT_ORDER is empty)
0xf14 Try USB first, followed by SD then repeat
0xf21 Try SD first, followed by NETWORK then repeat
0xf46 Try NVMe first, followed by USB-MSD then repeat

Thanks, but I think I’m still missing something. I imaged the uConsole version of Trixie to a MicroSD and then edited the config.txt on the SD to have the vales shown above. I install it in my uConsole with my CM5Lite card using the HackerGadgets three board upgrade including a NVME 1TB SSD and it boots and let’s me go through all the configuration steps, then after a while, the screen goes black and it never comes back.
are you booting from the SD or the NVME?
config.txt? it should be editing the eeprom.
eeprom values are obtained by using “rpi-eeprom-config”
to edit it, you use “rpi-eeprom-config -e”
