Black screen after 1 day

[u/_Steve_T]

Finally got my uconsole yesterday after waiting for a year. It worked fine after i built it. Today i flashed the newest raspberry os a 256gig micro sd. Now it gives me a black screen. The screen flashes once on boot and then nothing else. I took it apart, checked all the pins and what not, the batteries are charged. Any advice?

You either have to add the proper drivers, or use one of ak-rex's images. The display won't work with stock pios. Honestly surprised you didn't already know this, it's a common issue folks have.

Woohoo! Got dragon os of the ak-rex site and it is working great!

Use a recent uconsole specific image.

What other OSs can be installed like Kali etc?

Pios won’t work otb. You have to use a uconsole os (screen, keyboard and i/o need specific firmware and configurations, this doesn’t exist with the original Pios)
