Running ubuntu on RIoT Board, on SD Card

There´s a blog entry which describes how to install the Linux image here: Impressions on the RIoTboard and changing its Operating System in Windows

But with that method you can only install it on the internal eMMC.

To install it to the SD Card you´d have to change the installation Methods in the configuration of MFGTool.

If you want, selsinork created a minimal Debian image you can flash directly on a SD Card.

It has a newer kernel, and almost nothing installed. Therefore minimal.

But as selsinork said itself it´s still an image that should be tested depending on what you want to do.

For me it´s running fine.

But remember to set dip switches correctly to boot from SD Card.

As Otto says, make sure you have the dip switches correct. The will be different depending on whether you are booting a full size or micro SD.

Good luck,

If you do folow my instructions to put Ubuntu onto SD, remember that they're setup for just one of the SD card slots. You'll need to change some things to get it working on the other one as well as the dip switches. Unfortunately I've been unable to get the old kernel working with the new u-boot, if that can be made to work we can take advantage of a new command that would allow to build an image that works in any SD slot as well as on eMMC.
