Porting Ubuntu Core 18 on Nvidia Jetson TX1 Developer Kit

Tutorials Internet of Things

Ubuntu Core (UC) is Canonical’s take in the IoT space. There are pre-built images for officially supported devices, like Raspberry Pi or Intel NUCs, but for other boards, when there is no community port, one needs to create one on their own. This is the the case if one wants to run Ubuntu Core 18
