I purchased a CM5-16m Ram,64GB emmc and installed it in my uconsole. Flashed it with my Waveshare IO Board using the “ClockworkPi-Kali-6.12.28.img.xz” image. Uconsole booted up but when I attempted to login the keyboard sends multiple characters like “mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” Which make it impossible to login. I’ve seen this before on Linux and believe it was a keyboard buffer issue but without being able to login, I’m not sure how to fix it.
Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated.

The stock keyboard has a issue with sticky keys. Most people including myself have a good experience flashing the community made QMK firmware for it.
First release: 20240909
Download: https://files.olly.xyz/qmk/clockworkpi_uconsole_default.20240909.bin
Initial working release
Adds horizontal and vertical scrolling to the trackball (enabled by holding the “Select” key)
Adds Fn+Esc key binding to enter bootloader
This is beta firmware - please send feedback if you try it out!
