RTL-SDR & LORA Extension board prep files

Hi guys i have made it simple once you get you sdr lora expanshion kits simply copy the config.txt to the system boot folder and replace depending on which cm you have cm4 or cm5. I highly recommend Rex Dragon ubuntu build for this.

Very Neat, What options are available if one should need 5 Gigabit USB?

Seems like you need usb 3.0 for it, uconsole doesn’t provide it now even on CM5

Common USB standards include: USB 2.0 –A widely used standard that offers a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbps . USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 –Offer transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.0),

but there is a 100MBit expansion card: uEther - extension module

What is the limiting factor? the CM4/CM5 module or the supporting board?

CM4 has no usb3 so CM4
for CM5 – connection board as it officially supports only CM4.

OK, what would be a reasonable time frame for an updated connection board for 5 Gigabit USB?

never? you can ask at help@clockworkpi.com
