Kali 6.12.y for the uConsole and DevTerm

I’ll have to check it out, I don’t use Kali but it sounds like something is failing to shut down properly.
Are you using a lite or emmc CM5?

44

i use cm5008000 (without emmc and wifi), i think it lite
for me your build kali is most powerful and stable bulld (on cm4 and cm5), because some builds not loading from sd card without wifi module for me

45

i was checked this case:
i reinstall kali by rpi-imager without editing settings and on clear image without install anything reboot is work,

i think it may be becase firts run was on cm4 or because on install rpi-imager can change some configurations, but now it working, so clean install may be solution

I’ve switched SDs between two uConsoles a CM4 and CM5 and it works. I’m guessing it was RPi imager.

47

i think too, thank you for you time and your work friend)

Is upgrading through apt-get dist-upgrade working?

49

It might, I haven’t tried with Kali. As long as it doesn’t replace the kernel it should be fine.

50

I mean to upgrade kernel too.

51

No, kernel updates break the system.

52

What is the problem with kernel updates? What is the catch? What solution is needed to overcome this problem?

53

My kernel package wont work on kali, someone just needs make and maintain a kernel package for kali.

54

What did you do exactly to create package? Does it builded with dpkg-buildpackage?

Id like to try to build it.

55

Yes I use dpkg-deb --build along with the control, postinst, postrm, preinst, prerm files setup the way I need for Debian, but changed to hopefully not get nuked by the stock RPi kernel trying to get installed.

CM5 with eMMC and 16GB RAM: everything is working great!

Well, almost. I have two issues:

  1. Bluetooth headset connects but I don’t get audio
  2. Sometimes the system just locks up, black screen. Which is fine, except I then have to break out the Allen key and remove the batteries. Seems like a hardware design that allows a hard reset would be nice here… A mod to cut power with a switch seems tricky given the way the battery holder connects.

Audio: Not sure if audio switches automatically or not in kali but have you tried switching the audio output?

When the system locks up and you get a black screen are you running on batteries? The CM5 does have some power issues and good 18650s will help by not having as much voltage sag.
The power reset pin changed from the CM4 to the 5 and the button is wired to the pin on the CM4. So hard resets wont work with the CM5.

Thanks Rex, that explains it. I am using Samsung 35E batteries. Perhaps a bit of under-clocking might help with stability. Also I wonder if a board mod might be possible to fix the power pin issue.

Anyway, I appreciate the image. Will keep experimenting with the audio: I thought I was doing everything but it’s possible I missed something.

Bluetooth is wonky with stock antenna. I too can connect but don’t get audio until I attach my post market antenna.

I m happy having a working clockpi (almost) . I run last kali . I made a sudo apt-get update then a sudo apt-get upgrade - I had a shutdown during this command . Now IT is starting but alfer login , clockpi have a blank screen . what can I do ? I have to remove battery in order to run it again.
Suppose it is about screen saver or battery saving or screen timeout

put all power manager to OFF → working fine

KALI is working fine but when I stop , the green button is on . I have to remove batteries in order to stop clockpi . So I m using an external powerbank and I removed the batteries . It is not fair
