Ubuntu / Linaro developer image for Raspberry Pi 2
I've rolled an Ubuntu 14.10 / Linaro 15.01 "developer" image for the Raspberry Pi 2. Key points here are that it's compiled for ARMv7 and ARMHF, so should be faster than the Raspbian image by some amount. And it'll have more recent versions of software because that version of Ubuntu is significantly newer than Debian Wheezy! I don't have anywhere good to host the image, so it's only available by bittorrent on my limited ADSL upstream, but once a few people are on that it'll speed up the download. http://vps.dryft.net/2015-02-07-raspuntu-tjc.zip.torrent -Toby
So, as sure as day follows night, version 1.1 follows version 1.0. http://vps.dryft.net/2015-02-10-raspbuntu-tjc.zip.torrent This version uses a higher-performance X driver (fbturbo) and installs the LXDE desktop environment. It changes the hostname to "raspberry", and gives Raspbian-like non-persistent NIC names. On 7 February 2015 at 12:09, Toby Corkindale <toby@dryft.net> wrote:

Found some time over the weekend to work on an updated version: http://vps.dryft.net/raspuntu-tjc-2015-02-16.zip.torrent Changes: * automatically resize sd card at first boot * add rpi-update and raspi-config scripts * add videocore libraries * updated kernel, fixed memory split * disable linaro's autologin * Load appropriate sound module at boot * add wpagui for wifi configuration * Change cpu governer to "performance" * remove xscreensaver I'll stop spamming you with new releases now. If people are interested in following development further, check in on the Ubuntu thread on the "other operating systems" section of the Raspberry Pi forums. You can also usually find someone who is mirroring the image on a server with decent bandwidth for a faster download. -Toby On 10 February 2015 at 21:04, Toby Corkindale <toby@dryft.net> wrote:
