RetroLED CM5! An upgrade option for the CM5 RK3588 handheld, which uses a simple flex cable to interface with the current mainboard! The colors are really nice and saturated and of course, deep blacks! Which you'd expect from an OLED. Looks incredible. This uses the RM67199 radium driver in...

Handheld support on production from Radxa is officially dead. Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to one.

We finally have a working beta Android 13 image! Here's a couple of shots of it running Android 13. Downloadable here, flash with rkdevtools or the following method to boot from SD card (I'm keeping Armbian on the eMMC for now)...

Damn, that case looks incredible. Well done guys! Can’t wait to make one!

I wanted to share with everyone here the final product GinKage and I have been working on since July 2023 - Retro Lite CM5. Despite its shortcomings, I'm really happy with the v1 build. It's everything the Retro Lite CM4 was - and more! I do hope you guys like it! Open source files can be...

Best of luck! Sounds like a cool project ;)

Well, the project is drawing near its end... New PCBs have arrived and I only made one mistake, nothing crucial luckily... everything is working! We're on the home stretch now... hopefully we can get an Android 13 image also working soon. For now we have Armbian and ROCKNIX. Photo bomb incoming...

Added some rear grips to the back of the shell for ergonomics. Still tweaking the design slightly and need to re-add all of the internal features and ribbing, but it’s definitely more comfortable to hold now. I like them a lot. It does increase the thickness quite a lot - by around 18mm. I’m...

Good luck man! This looks sweet. Wii S Lite was always a project than inspired me, hope you can finish it!

No, you dont need an EEPROM - the internal resolution is forced and the display resolution is always a known factor. No need to read any data in. The GPIO mappings can be found in the CM4 datasheet for the I2S bus. If it were me doing this same project again, I would not use the TFP401 decoder...

No worries. EDID is not necessary if you’re forcing a resolution.

Thanks to @Wesk for scanning this bad boy. I ended up re-modelling it from scratch (polygons arent kind to Fusion/Solidworks), so will share the files here for anyone who wants it, since I'm using it in my Retro Lite CM5 project. Pinout of the fan is as follows (assuming a face down connector...

"Small update..." - your updates are generally bigger than most of us on these forums lol :D Case design looks fantastic. Definitely looks similar to the Aya Neo Air (proud owner of one of those) - its not as ergonomic as you would hope but its tough with a small design to make anything really...

Trying to hold back the nut… A work of art! Well done man.

Revision 1.1 of the main board is almost ready to be ordered! I can feel the project end drawing near. There's still a lot to be excited about in the future with this board, like Vulkan support and newer linux kernels which will improve performance significantly compared to the GLES binary...

Quick update. Rev 1 won’t be the final revision (shock horror). The third connector was completely upside down which means nothing on it works. I’ve removed it for testing at the moment and will hand it over to GinKage to play with whilst I’m on vacation for the next week. For now, things that...

CM5 rev 1 carrier board PCBs are here! Hooray. :D I will let everyone know if any magic smoke appears this weekend.

I had a lot of issues with JLCPCBA and their engineers mixing up my land patterns with their stock LCSC library, which delayed ordering the boards by at least a couple of days. Safe to say it was a very frustrating experience, but to give them credit, they did solve the issue for me in the end...
