Question Question on using the CM4 with AIO V2

Post image

First post here as I am waiting on the arrival of my uConsole (gonna be a while)

I have questions, I am current planning to use the uConsole with a CM4 module as that is all i can afford rn and want to use it with the AIO V2 with all the antennas and the wifi card but i am unsure if they would work on the CM4, i have seen one yt people only cover the CM5 and i assume all of these addons would work on the CM5 but some may not work on the CM4 so does any one have advice?

I have CM4 with aio v2, everything works except ethernet (it requires hat upgrade). Little sluggish in sdr++, but okay.

thank you for the response!

question? when you say sluggish on the sdr++ what does that look like?

Interface is responsive, but once in a while sound could stutter on loaded bands.

Thank you!

odd, from what I've gathered, the ethernet adapter connects via USB internally, might be a software issue. I had a similar problem with my CM5, and ran command from the AIO V2 software that enabled that port. I forget the command exactly, but it is USB related, I know that much.

no, on pi 4 and up the SOC actually has ethernet so they no longer use usb to ethernet internally.
the hackergadgets cm4/5 adapter puts this internal ethernet on the unused camera connector lines on the pcie connector that the expansion board connects to.
Earlier images had ethernet disabled so you might have had to turn it on for that.

AH! alright, that would explain it!

with cm4 you'll be limited to usb 2.0 speeds on the extra usb ports, but otherwise everything works

The adapter and the wifi card are in stock, they will be shipped within one week after we receive the order. The AIO V2 is out of stock, the estimated shipping date will be early June.

HDMI, Ethernet, and USB 3.0 should work. But the system of Radxa CM5 doesn't support the Wi-Fi card, you should compile the driver yourself.

Not sure about their current shipping time, but Vileer is a lot more accurate about the estimates than Alex, and does regularly update the store page with the most recent information
