Ubuntu Core
In addition to the official distribution (i.e.: the one you get when you run dboard init) we
also offer a proof-of-concept root filesystem based on Ubuntu Core 14.04.
NOTE: This root file-system is provided only as a proof of concept and its use is not supported.
Installing Ubuntu Core is as simple as following these steps, provided that you have already
installed the dboard tool:
git clone https://github.com/DevelBoard/images-ubuntu-core.git
cd images-ubuntu-core
dboard makesd --mode=rw
After that, reboot the board and connect with dboard serial, as usual. By default, the root
account isn't protected by a password, just like the regular rootfs.
Caveats
- Ubuntu Core is heavier than our standard distribution image and slower to boot.
- Network services are disabled by default. To gain network access connect the Ethernet cable and
run
dhclient -v eth0. dboard discoveranddboard sshwon't work.
