I just finished building unconsole and it seems to be taking long the 60 seconds for first boot
post a picture of the inside to so we can see if there’s a obvious problem.
Did it just take 60 seconds to boot, or is that how long you waited? I ask because my laptop running Debian seems (I did not actually measure it) to take longer than that to boot under normal conditions…
any OS take a while for the few first boots, later uconsole will start faster.
It didn’t boot taking way longer than 60 seconds
what image did you install? or did you get the cm4 version with included sd card?
Yeah I think I got the cm4 version with as card included
Download and flash this image to a spare sd card. It has a updated kernel and if you have a newer panel the stock image won’t work but a image with my kernel will.
If you still don’t get any output, try connecting a HDMI cable. Also double check you have everything properly seated.

Can I use the SD card I got in the box to flash the new image or do I need specific a new SD card and also how do I flash it
you can use the same sd and use RPi imager to flash it but do not apply any custom settings or decompress the image.
First choose the type of device or flashing too pi4 or pi5.
Next pic a custom image and point it to the file you downloaded.
Last choose the SD card your flashing to.
also can i use a different image like kali for example instead of the image that came with the uconsole or do i need to use the book worm first and if im using book worm which one i see theres multiple versions
can i use kali 6.12.34 image custome image in the google drive
You can use any of my custom images. The username and password for the Kali image is kali/kali
do i need to format the SD card that came with the device first or can i flash it right away
Just flash it and put it in the device.
so i flashed the card and inserted it powered it on but i still dont see anything on screen booting and i dont have that particular hdmi cable
