The Mini6410 system supports Ubuntu-0910 which is based on ARMV6

command sets. All Ubuntu versions released after 2010 are based on ARMV7

command sets and therefore cannot be run on this system. Usually an Ubuntu

system is too large (more than 600M) for the NAND flash and therefore has to be

run from the SD card.

A common way is to for the SD card to ext2/3 and then copy system files to it

and run. This process is not easy for beginners. What we do is to make a ubuntu

system a ext3 image and copy it to a FAT32/FAT SD card .

Since Ubuntu is for desktop systems and wasn’t degined for embedded systems

we mainly focus on how to run it on the Mini6410 system in this section and

will not go any deeper

Since Superboot-20100917, Superboot has supported burning Ubuntu to the

1GB Nand Flash via the SD card. Running Ubuntu from the SD card for 256M

(DDR RAM) systems is OK but a little bit slow for 128M systems
