The ClockworkPi uConsole is a handheld laptop with a 5-inch IPS show and a built-in 74-key backlit keyboard. Accessible with a selection of System on Modules (SoMs), the console is lastly transported to shoppers after an extended gestation interval.
Overview of ClockworkPi uConsole
ClockworkPi is now transporting the console, roughly nine months after introducing its handheld laptop. To recap, the corporate provided the uConsole with several processor choices, which it offered as uConsole Kits A-04, A-06, R-01 and RPI-CM4 Lite (Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Lite). Briefly, the A-04, A-06 and RPI-CM4 Lite are all characteristic ARM Cortex cores, with the latter being the most highly effective.
In contrast, the R-01 utilises a single RV64IMAFDCVU RISC-V core that may enhance to 1 GHz. The R-01 additionally helps DDR3 RAM, whereas the RPI-CM4 Lite variant depends on extra successful LPDDR4 RAM as a substitute.

Whereas the chipsets underpinning the console differ, all characteristics the identical design and different core parts. For instance, ClockworkPi installs a 5-inch IPS show with a 1,280 x 720-pixel decision. Moreover, the handheld has a 74-key backlit keyboard, sport management keys and 18650 batteries.
The console stays orderable, too, though ClockworkPi currently has no inventory of A-04 or A-06 variants. The corporate notes that the R-01 model stays ‘extremely experimental’. As such, it recommends the uConsole Package RPI-CM4 Lite for most individuals, aside from these, which are comfy with RISC-V-based software program growth. Notably, new orders carry a roughly 90-day lead time earlier than transport. Please see ClockworkPi’s website for extra particulars.
