Description
Is the standard uConsole board limiting you to microSD and USB 2.0? The Upgrade Kit Adapter Board replaces the original board and unlocks the full potential of your uConsole - adding a PCIe connector for an NVMe SSD, USB 3.0, CSI camera port, fan connector and Ethernet signals.
This is the foundation of any uConsole upgrade. Without this adapter board you can't connect an NVMe drive or get Ethernet 1 Gbps from the AIO V2 board. One module - the leap from toy to serious tool.
What you get after replacing the board
- PCIe Connector - exposes the PCIe signals from the CM4/CM5 module, enabling connection to the NVMe Battery Board with an SSD. No more slow microSD - a real difference in performance.
- USB 3.0 - connector for the CM5 module, enabling connection to the RJ45 Ethernet 1 Gbps and USB 3.0 expansion board.
- USB-C Flashing Port - allows flashing the eMMC version compute module directly via USB-C.
- PWM Fan Connector - compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 and CM5 fans. With CM4 the fan runs at fixed speed.
- CSI2 Connector (camera) - identical pinout to the CSI port on the Raspberry Pi 5. Connect a camera module directly to your uConsole.
- RPITX Connector - connected to GPIO4, used by the RPITX project for radio signal transmission (experimental feature).
- RTC Battery Connector - powers the real-time clock on CM5. Do not connect when using CM4.
- Ethernet Signals - Ethernet signals from CM4/CM5 routed to pins previously used by CSI in the expansion port.
Compatibility
- CM4 (Compute Module 4) - PCIe, USB-C flash, fan (fixed speed), RPITX, CSI2
- CM5 (Compute Module 5) - all CM4 features + USB 3.0, PWM fan, RTC battery connector
What else do you need for a full upgrade?
The Adapter Board is the first step. To fully utilise its capabilities, consider adding:
- NVMe Battery Board - a board with an NVMe SSD slot and dedicated 18650 battery power. Connects to the PCIe connector on the Adapter Board.
- AIO V2 (All-In-One Board) - expansion board with RTL-SDR, LoRa/Meshtastic, GPS, RTC, USB Hub and RJ45 Ethernet 1 Gbps. Ethernet requires this Adapter Board.
Important note
The AC1200 Wi-Fi card is not included - available separately. The CM4/CM5 compute module and batteries are not part of the kit.

Frequently asked questions
Didn't find your answer? Write to us - we also help after your purchase.
What is the Adapter Board and what is it for?
The Adapter Board (Upgrade Kit) replaces the original uConsole mainboard. It unlocks PCIe (for NVMe SSD), USB 3.0, CSI camera port, PWM fan connector, and Ethernet signals. It's the foundation of uConsole expansion — without it you can't connect NVMe or get 1 Gbps Ethernet from AIO V2.
Is the Adapter Board required for AIO V2?
Yes — AIO V2 uses PCIe and USB 3.0 signals routed by the Adapter Board. Without it, some AIO V2 features (1 Gbps Ethernet, NVMe) won't be available. Adapter Board + AIO V2 together unlock the full potential of uConsole.
Is the Adapter Board compatible with CM5?
Yes. The Adapter Board supports both CM4 and CM5 modules. The USB 3.0 connector is especially useful with CM5, which natively supports USB 3.0.
How difficult is installation?
You replace the original board with the Adapter Board — requires opening the case and connecting ribbon cables. No soldering needed. The whole process takes about 15 minutes with basic tools (Phillips screwdriver).
Can I connect a fan?
Yes. The Adapter Board has a PWM fan connector compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 and CM5 fans. Useful for overclocking or intensive computing.
What else do I need besides the Adapter Board?
The Adapter Board itself unlocks the connectors. For full utilization add: NVMe Battery Board (SSD + power) and/or AIO V2 (SDR, LoRa, GPS, Ethernet). All available at SAPSAN Store.
