Handheld Linux Cyberdeck / clockwork uConsole

uConsole from clockwork is a handheld linux cyberdeck, running a raspberry pi compute module 4. It's very hackable and useful as a portable computer. But there is one thing that I absolutely need to warn you about before you order one.

Thanks for the video and I ordered mine in February 2024 and received it about a week ago (November 2024). I just got it working about a half hour ago so your ideas on the RTL/SDR V4 are right up my alley.
73! Have a great day!

What's nice is that it really blends in and doesn't shout 'shady cyber activity' at all ....

Your video's are always so in depth and well put together, love it.

Amazing video as always sn0ren, cant wait to see more vids of the SDR-uConsole build!

Does it run a custom kernel? I don't want another pocket chip situation where after a while it turns into a paperweight because you can't use a mainline kernel on it. This kind of device should last decades.

I love the jump from "it's basically a portable hacking machine" to "btw you can play pokemon in it" XD

Great video as always. I've love my uConsole. The hardware is great and the discord community has been really vibrant!

Tak Søren. Godt arbejde.
Det er første gang jeg ser så grundig gennemgang af mods.
Jeg er fan!

[Xpurple]

Yep, I've been waiting nine months. I should have mine soon. Thank you for the video!

[korzeTV]

Dude this is such a sick video. Great job.

[bolbroe]

Good video! I really like the formfactor combined with raspberrypi versatility. This is like Teenage Engineering but for raspberry pi :)

[Unfastened]

Very thorough, great video. You will reach 1m subscribers eventually bro, keep doing your thing. 🤟

[maverick]

Tak for endnu en fed video, jeg ville ikke have noget imod at du smed sådanne videoer ud hver dag 😁

[ludik]

Brilliant videos, great production, simplified content, snappy overview. Well done!

[guidovicino]

Fantastic video. I made the exact same modifications, except for those related to the RTL-SDR (including the same screen protector). I also own a DevTerm and a GameShell. The only thing that bothers me about these devices is that the community-provided distributions are not monitored, so, out of paranoia, I end up recompiling them myself.

[JanusCycle]

A good amount of room inside this thing for some nice hardware mods, you cyberpunk hacker :)

Ordered one of these in December 2023. It is September 18th 2024 as I write this. I still have not received it. Communication with company assures me "It's in the next batch to go out" So....Just know you are probably looking at 10months+ of turn around time to get one of these if you order it.

This is nice, i rooted my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and flashed Kali nethunter to it. If the RP4 Pro had similar functionality as a Flipper Zero, it would be the perfect device for pocket adventures.

Would love to see how this will pair with the Orange Pi CM5 in the future.

Thanks for sharing, that looks like fun, I can already image a bunch of fun projects with it, thanks for tempting me
