Just ordered. I’m keeping the original AIO board and upgrading with the new parts.

You can boot from the SD card with the NVMe, just by changing the boot order in the eeprom. But the NVMe SSD will still drain power although it is not as much as booting from NVMe.

Just wondering regarding the battery module: what is the LiPo battery compatibility and how is it meant to be installed? There’s a photo on the preorder page that shows a battery tidily fitting in the space on the back cover. What does one need to know in terms of buying a battery and securing it like that?
this is the battery he has in the battery hump of the back.

I don’t have my uConsole yet (probably a couple months away), but I just ordered the upgrade kit and the AIO v2 card, I think they greatly enhance the capabilities of the uConsole. Thanks for designing them!
what is Radxa CM5?

This is fantastic work! @vileer : Is the Radxa version less compatible and harder to work with to get all the software and OS running well?
thanks for the feedback, just placed my order 
Awesome job again, already having great fun with the AIO v1. Will eventually probably upgrade that too, but for now its doing what it needs to

It did. You have to compile the software by yourself.
This is awesome and I’m definitely picking some of these up! I’m still a noob for sure! I have AIO v1 with a CM4. thinking about upgrading to CM5. I’ve been seeing issues with audio and such and am curious to know if these quirks have been reasonably worked out with the CM5?
I’m assuming the v1 is still compatible with the other boards in the bundle…?
What is the RTC battery connection for the CM5? I’m unfamiliar… does the RTC on AIO v1 not do the same thing? Do I need a separate battery for the new adapter board? How is that working?
As for the new WiFi card addition, is it intended to replace WiFi capabilities for everything else? Would I just run my WiFi antenna to that now instead of the CM5 board? Or should I run a separate antenna with my open antenna connector on the side?
As for the battery board, what is the need for the push Switch? If I want to expand to the 10,000mah battery pack, do I need one?
Like I said, I’m sure some of these sound super dumb. I know haha. But I’m a total noob and am trying to figure how these work. Thanks so much for all the support! @vileer @Rex
@vileer just ordered!! Thanks for the great work!
Just want to confirm that the order should include the connector between the adapter board and the new battery board?
Thanks!!
Can someone help me understand what this means? I recently purchased my uConsole and I haven’t purchased a CM5 yet. Does this mean the Pi CM5 doesn’t currently work with the PCIe, Ethernet, and USB ports?
Also, the GPIO pins… Are those only for the Radxa CM5?
Thank you!

No, that’s the issue caused by the cm5 itself.
Yes, v1 is fully functional with the new adapter board and the NVMe battery board.
That’s for the cm5 internal RTC, the RJ45 Ethernet and USB 3.0 expansion board doesn’t have an rtc on it. If you choose the AIO RTC as your system RTC, then you don’t need another RTC battery for the adapter.
The wifi card supports monitor mode. The typical use is for wifi pentesting. But you can still use it as a regular wifi card with/replace the cm5 on board wifi. Yes you can mount the antenna on the side.
The push switch is for cutting off the power manually for some case like when your system is in panic and you want a hard power off. It is not necessary for 1wmAh battery pack, but you will need the vibrant without the battery holder.

Raspberry CM5 is fine with PCIe, Ethernet, and USB ports . If you want to use the Radxa CM5 with the adapter board that is designed for the Raspberry Pi, you will face the following issues:
-
No HDMI output.
-
have to change a resistor to make the NVMe works.
-
NO USB3.0.
That’s why there is a Radxa CM5 version for the adapter board.
Can you tell me more about the GPIO pins question? I can’t follow you about that.

uconsole was developed for CM3/CM4 so CM5 is not fully supported by stock adapter board

Thanks so much @vileer!
So, just to clarify, we are still having issues with the CM5 and audio output? That hasn’t been worked out? Is there any way around that? Any fixes? I’ve seen guys trying to fix it but I haven’t heard if it has worked. Anyone have any?
I’d like to upgrade to a CM5. But I’d also like my SDR output to work. Thanks!

The audio issue is still here. If you don’t want to hear that noise when you don’t need sound, You can use Rex’s script to fix it. But if you want it, there’s no fix at the system level. It may be fixed by adding a usb audio sound card on the expansion board, but I don’t have a plan for it.

Okay! Sweet! And can I successfully boot off the NVME with a CM4? Or do I still have to have my micro SD card?
