1. the good news is that the 20230303 download has solved the pip3 install problem and i was able to install opencv as well. It is running on a usb stick at the moment. should this issue be closed?

2)the format commands are not working as shown:

ubuntu@coolpi:~$ lsblk

sda 8:0 1 0B 0 disk
sdb 8:16 1 0B 0 disk

mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk
zram0 254:0 0 0B 0 disk

the tf chip is sda and sdb upon insertion via a usb adapter. the coolpi does not recognized the chip via the onboard tf card slot.

ubuntu@coolpi:~$ sudo wipefs /dev/sda
ubuntu@coolpi:~$ sudo wipefs /dev/sdb
ubuntu@coolpi:~$ sudo wipefs -a -f /dev/sda
ubuntu@coolpi:~$ sudo wipefs -a -f /dev/sdb
ubuntu@coolpi:~$ lsblk

@MSUMMERS999 as more information, i have tried the TF chip on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04

@zhengbicheng
I will burn the latest from your onedrive but this is what the coolpi was shipped with (ordered Feb 1 and delivered Feb 17).

Is the TF chip required to install the new image? if so i have not been able to format that using 2 different TF devices. both R/W "real" TF cards. The coolpi does not recognize it either. Am i missing a trick with the TF chip? Thank you in advance.

Re: Ubuntu22 install pip3
Tried the suggestion from the old response (have the same error with pip3 installation) and am receiving the following.
"E: command line option 'a' [from -mask] is not understood in combination with the other options."
