Ubuntu 19.10 (EOAN) - fbdev

This is an 8GB sd card Image with Ubuntu 19.10 targeting mali fbdev experience.

  • Use 7z to unzip the file and burn the sd_8GB.img to a sd card
    MD5: 514db7ca81c5b1ec7cccb4b1f98c4ad5 sd_8GB.img

  • mali blobs for fbdev (see bootlin for more info)

  • use Etcher or win32diskimager to burn the sd card (and use a known and good sd card, you have been warned)

Limitations

  • This is 8GB img, you need to expand the rootfs partition if you burn this to a 16GB or 32GB sd card

  • If you get a blank-screen, hit ENTER 4x (four times) and then use the credentials: ubuntu / ubuntu

  • Tested fbdev with sources provided in ~/mali/
    run in shell:
    sudo su
    cd mali/yagears-fbdev/
    export KEYBOARD=/dev/input/event0
    ./yagears-fbdev -b egl-fbdev -e glesv2

    Use the keyboard to change view.

First thing before you boot

  • edit /etc/network/interfaces and update your Wifi network AP info like:
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid "your AP"
    wpa-psk "your ASCII passwd like 1234567890"

If you don't have a linux box to edit the file, boot first-time without Wifi and edit it with:

    sudo jed /etc/network/interfaces

and change accordingly , save the changes and then reboot with:

    sudo reboot
