@MHam68HC11 I am in the same area I wait with you.
Is it known how many uConsole have ordered over? And how many will be finished per batch?

Same here 197XX, CM4, no module, wifi only, Oct 27. Not a peep wrt shipping.
Got the REV - PCBs back for the breakout board though. I’ll post some pictures tonight after I solder on the connectors. REV A ships next week.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it sounds like we don’t know if the A-06 units have been made at this point, correct?

They are the same processor module as the DevTerm uses so I’d say they have a source just don’t know the shipping scheme - I emailed them about my order -they indicated that they would not be in the first batch to be mailed but would be in subsequent batches…

I really have no idea just that the A-06 batches will not be shipped with the first batch. I’ve been asking on the shipping thread for folks to declare the type they purchased. The RISC performance is said to be slow - I have an A06 DevTerm and have found it very adequate for everything I do - Open Office, SDR, database, Node Red - I even run Spyder IDE and MS Visual Studio on a second monitor the performance is similar to the I5 processor on my Dell running i86 Raspian (Debian Linux)

Maybe you should create a new topic dedicated for this project? Would be a bit better un term of visibility than here.

Graphics on the beepberry using LGVL and ‘/dev/fb1’. Not bad for monochrome.

REV: A, populated. I think the mid-mount USB’s will work well mechanically.

Lots of drama on the uConsole shipping page (I’ve remained silent because I have nothing further to add) but folks have forgot about WenShip! Also the A-06 DevTerm issue where the screen blanks after the unit sleeps has been temporarily bandaided by using a Mouse Dither USB dongle…

Yeah i dont understand what all the drama is about.
I think my first thing im going to do with my uConsole is get Fedora working. They have an official CM4 image out there, so i hope it wont be too hard. Im going to dig into the CWPi CM4 kernel patches and see what all they are adding just to see if anything is hardware specific that isnt plug-and-play in the newer kernel used by Fedora.

Your Kungfu is greater than mine! I just successfully installed an application from source about a month ago! I installed WinLink for linux from source on my Panasonic tough book

Similar discussion is going on over here for an expansion board. Would be good to keep the discussion all in one place since all projects may benefit.

I dont know if ill be able to get it to work but im hoping it wont be too terrible if i get some help. I have been reading a lot but have never compiled a custom kernel outside of some minor tweaks when messing with Gentoo.
Edit:
I have been doing some reading, i may be able to use the boot partition and kernel from the official uConsole image. That seems like a good middle step to getting this working on the uConsole. Now i just need the hardware to test it and see how bad of an idea this is!

Beeper gets a uBlox, baro, mag, imu sensor deck. GPS needs some antenna rework, but I think it will track outside.

Nice fit … the small space format of the beep really is awkward for an add on… and those pins … they are not in the greatest place either… but you managed to get a board in there!

Yep, I’m on a couple other discords with the guy. Been following the development of it for a couple years now.
