New Uconsole +cm5 black screen

I recently bought a Uconsole on AliExpress and installed CM5, but the Uconsole won’t turn on; the screen stays black. However, it works when I connect a monitor. The keyboard also doesn’t work. Has anyone experienced something similar?

What image did you install, a standard raspberry pi one? Because that would get you the described behavior.

You need a uconsole specific image, I recommend rex’s debian Trixie to get started, it’s available in this forum.

The screen needs special drivers and the USB and other peripherals need to be turned on with a device tree overlay.
