Puzzle completed, the extension board is a AIO v2 with SDR, LoRa and GPS. It provides an internal USB-C which is connected to a MediaTek MT7921AUN WiFi/BT module. The battery board hosts a 128GB NVMe SSD, and a pi CM5 with 8GB RAM represents the #uConsole's heart (luckily bought in September 2025). Even though I was prepared for the arrival, I missed to purchase a RTC battery. Begining with the weekend, I will have 2 weeks of holidays to deep dive into the software.
Assembling the front part was straight forward, I'll add the PCBs now and will swap certain items with AIO v2 replacements.
In October, I ordered myself an unnecessary toy which finally arrived. Had scheduled other things for Today's evening, but couldn't resist opening the box.
Thought I'd check out https://github.com/aethersdr/AetherSDR (#flexradio client for #linux and #macos).
Since I'd just added a NVME drive alongside FDE to my #clockworkpi #uconsole, I installed it on there.
Aside from the geekyness of the uConsole stuff #AetherSDR an impressively featured piece of software.
This is #ClockworkPi #uConsole. With CM5 8GB/64GB.
Had an opportunity to snag it for a good price from some Czech electronics store and put CM5 from some previous project there.
I can't really find a good use for it, though
- The keyboard is nice
- The gamepad is not
- That little trackball is awful, even after flashing the keyboard with QMK
- CM5 cannot sleep (?!)
- So you could try hacking the kernel to boot in <1s? Go to hell, the firmware takes about 4-9s, DRAM training every time
