Did you made any progress so far? I was trying out rex image but was struggling with kernel updates. I was then trying the kernel git repo of rex and dev-null2019 but was unable to compile a fully working kernel.
I was able to compile rex kernel sources by creating some basic kernel config but none of the uConsole specific parts where working. Even when i enabled apx20x, cwu50 and OCP8178 nothing uConsole specific is working. However i had HDMI out and was at least able to tell the system was booting.
Thatās rough manā¦and they are out of stock. I went to buy the 32g/256emmc version this morning (which was in stock when I went to bed last night) so Iām just hoping itās not too long before a restock.
on another note, the rpi cm5 drops right in and works with the hacker gadgets nvme battery board and Ethernet/usb3 expansion card. Which is cool. But I just really want a radxa cm5
If youāre brave you may be able to solder a new hirose connector onto the board. It would be a task but not impossible
What resoldering or dropping in the pi? Iām not saying everyone should drop the cm5 in the adapter board, but I did and it works I was willing to take a risk for fun. That said, literally everything works. Iāve been using it heavily for 3 days now. I have it hooked to Ethernet and running a usb c hub with kb and mouse, with hdmi out to my monitor.
I get that soldering a b2b connector might seem harrowing, but a lot of us here have full rework stations at our desk. And it is a āhackerā device after all so why place limits on ourselves?
