Hey I'm just about to be done with my build but I'm getting a white screen. I've tried a couple of images, RetroPie 4.3, 4.5, and 4.6 as well as the Freeplay CM3 RetroPie 4.6 image. Is there something I'm missing?

Yep, you need to use a distribution from Kite which will have the necessary drivers for the board, audio and screen. Take a look here:
https://github.com/kiteretro
Click the link to whichever board you have, take a look in the wiki for that board and you’ll find the software download link and flashing guide.

I'm hoping to install a bluetooth adapter to the device for controllers and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to go about doing that. I have tried connecting a dongle to the USB-C port (following the same mentality I have with my MacBook) but that didn't work. Can the USB-C port serve for I/O and power?
My other thought was to solder a USB port (or just solder directly to an adapter). Kinds sounds like a bad idea though.

On the circuit sword, between the CM3 and the USB C connector is a 4pin connect, this is the 4th USB port from the internal hub. You can use one of the 4pin connectors included (they're JST SH 1.0mm 4pin) to wire up anything that you like

So Kite, are you planning to do something with the CM4?

Hello @kite
This year will there be pre-order?
There are several projects that I would like to do.
Many thanks
