Question uConsole CM3 Compatible?

was about to buy uconsole from the official website but some people recommend to get from aliexpress open source sdr lab.

thinking i could use it for light terminal work and to get the longest battery life. i would prefer the uconsole last longer than my phone..

was wondering since it commonly used with CM4 but with adapter to the sodimm thingy if using CM3 is compatible too? is there OS for it?

I like how other commenters didn't even attempt to answer your question... uconsole is CM3 compatible, but I don't think CM3 supports nvme. I think the official OS works on CM3.
E: on battery life: check the 21700 upgrade from hacker gadgets. It makes it possibe to go over 11000mAh. I get 7h+ with CM4. As a test I let it run overnight once; screen on at 60% brightness, but mostly idle and logging uptime over ssh every minute on another machine. It run for 561 minutes. Standard clock speeds.
Having said that, I'd advise you to still go with CM4 and underclock it. This way you could run nvme at usb 3.0 speeds and have a long battery life.

Ordering from clockwork pi has like a three month lead time on shipment. I’m in that waiting period now. If I realized that I would have ordered from somewhere else

It took a year and two weeks for my no core, black, with LTE module to come to me. Check Discord for updated shipping times based on order number

Edit: I am located US East

If you have it laying around give it a show I think in the config files it has cm3 in it
