Plug-n-play KVM add-on for uConsole

For the OS, I’d recommend using Rex’s latest image: ClockworkPi-Ubuntu-24.04-6.12.67.img: Ubuntu 24.04 6.12.y for the uConsole and DevTerm

The main reason is that it already includes support for the onboard Gigabit Ethernet on the Upgrade Kit. The stock ClockworkPi image doesn’t enable the onboard Gigabit NIC by default, so if you want Gigabit networking on that image, you’d have to rebuild the kernel yourself, which I wouldn’t recommend.

You can quickly check which Ethernet interfaces are available by running: ip link

Expected results:

  • Rex Ubuntu image + Gigabit module (or no module installed) → eth0 (onboard Gigabit)

  • Rex Ubuntu image + 100 Mbps module → eth0 (onboard Gigabit, not active in fact) + eth1 (100 Mbps expansion module)
