Ah gotcha. I was hoping for a way to get it to boot right into the correct orientation.
try this:

The Trixie image now supports the CM4S on the uConsoles with the older screens. I guess this probably only matters to 3 people on the entire planet but there it is. Lol

Well, there are four of us now! I’ll be able to use mine!

Installed this image today on my uconsole. Later installed TeXlive-full and TeXstudio and copied about 8Gb files from my laptop to find, that there are more than 200 bash with /etc/rc.local running (during copying my files via ssh uconsole reboot ones, but I was sure it is related to week wifi or something else). I have checked, that there are more and more that bash processes over time, so I’m going back to stock image. Check yours uconsoles for that. You can just use command:
ps ax|grep bash
or even
ps ax|grep bash|wc -l
to count that processes. Is it only my case? ;).
that’s not at boot, that’s just labwc that needs to be rotated because the image defaults to a rotated screen for the uconsole

Hello,
after years of not using my uConsole with CM4, I wanted to to use it as a terminal in CLI mode. So I flashed Rex’ current Debian Trixie lite image. But after providing a username and password, the device seems to be stuck in a loop of fdisk trying to resize the partition (not a reboot loop, it just repeats the same output again and again). I then flashed the non-lite image, which seemed to work, but after changing the settings to boot into CLI and rebooting, I get the same output. This happens with both the Raspberry Pi imager (no custom settings) and dd. What can I do? Apologies, if this has been discussed elsewhere.

What size SD are you using? Have you tried another SD? That one may be failing.
That one was a 16GB. I’ve now tried a new 64GB and the result is the same (except for the partition size in the output). Does this have to do with hardware revisions? My uConsole is from one of the first batches.

i building a new image right now with kernel 7.1.3 it’ll be up in an hour or so. download that and see if it fixes your problems.
you’ll be able to get it from:

so why you just won’t switch to TTY by ctrl + alt + f1/f2/f3/f4 ?
a new image of debian 13 trixie is live on ak-rex.com it’s marked with kernel 7.1.3

Is there any plan for Ubuntu 26.4 and Fedora? I think it’s possible with new kernel.
it’s always been possible, I just don’t have a lot of free time to put out every single os image there is. i’m not planning on starting a rpm repo so there would be no kernel updates if i did put out fedora.

That’s too bad… But I understand… Thanks for your works!
Legend!!! (I know more that one ! is excessive but you deserve it!)
Fedora here it works just use raspberry imager Fedora on the uConsole(CM4), flashable now, looking for testers (esp. 4G) - #9 by bechlee7851
Yes, that fixed it! It now reboots once and I can successfully log in.
Thanks for all the great work you put into this!

Hello Rex,
I found a reproducible crash in the latest Trixie image for the uConsole CM5.
Environment
- Device: ClockworkPi uConsole
- Compute Module: Raspberry Pi CM5
- Fresh Trixie image (downloaded yesterday)
- Fully updated (
apt update && apt upgrade) rpccversion: 0.15
Problem
The Raspberry Pi Control Centre crashes immediately after showing the “Loading configuration…” window.
Running from terminal: rpcc
results in: Segmentation fault
GDB backtrace
Thread 1 “rpcc” received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This is a fresh installation with no custom modifications.
Please let me know if you need any additional logs or if you would like me to test a fix.
Thanks for your work!
I can test patches or provide additional debug information if needed.
