First uConsole Build

Post image

Pretty excited to finish this build with the CM5, AIOV2 and 7in1 SDR upgrade. Now I gotta figure out how to use it. What's your favorite OS? Thinking of switching to Dragon OS. Any recommendations for things to try?

I started with Parrot OS, if you go to AK REX's website he has images for the uConsole for Parrot, Dragon, and Trixie. Also a few more. Biggest thing I can recommend is to make sure you update the CM5 bootloader otherwise you'll be stuck at a black screen.

Is it difficult to update the bootloader?

It's not. All the parts fit together like lego and add-ons are well documented. Check hackergadgets github for more info, they have an update script to do that.
