What is the installation process for Ubuntu?

Canonical Ubuntu Ubuntu OS issues
1

Hi,

I have seen an Ubuntu image on the official Rubik Pi 3 website. Is the process as simple as flashing this image into the Rubik Pi 3? Or there are other procedures involved? If so, is there a guide for that?

Also, does the Qualcomm A.I. Hub runs on Ubuntu or it requires the Qualcomm Linux?

Thanks.

You can refer to the following link to use Qualcomm Launcher/QDL to flash the Ubuntu image.
If you use QDL, please note to replace the image download link provided in the link with the version you wish to use .

QDL:Flash Canonical Ubuntu 24.04 Over Android/QLI Build | RUBIK Pi Documentation
Both Ubuntu and Linux release support Qualcomm AI. Hub. You can refer to the following link for more information.

Hi, many thanks for the information. I was seeing a complete different guide from Thundercomm website here. In that guide, they use T-Flash utility to flash the OS image. Which one is correct? I am confused.

Thank you.

For the RUBIK Pi, we recommend using Qualcomm Launcher/QDL to flash the image.
Thanks

The Ubuntu Desktop is not supported yet? Only the server version is supported? Thanks.

Hi, many thanks. I see that the Desktop version does not support graphical A.I. Is there a plan to have a desktop version that support graphical A.I.(Adreno GPU) in the future? If not, will Debian support graphical A.I.? Thank you.

Debian version already supports graphical A.I. (running on DSP) and will be released in the future.
Ubuntu Desktop version will also be supported in the future.

Hi, I have the last question. Can I use Qualcomm Launcher to upgrade to Android and Debian? Their OS image files start with FlatBuildXXXX.zip. Thanks

For flashing between different system versions, it is recommended to use QDL.
Please refer to the method:
Android: Get Started | RUBIK Pi Documentation
Debian: Get Started | RUBIK Pi Documentation

Hi, we have received 5 pieces of Rubik Pi 3 recently. It seems they come with Ubuntu Server installed. But when we try to follow your guide to change the Ubuntu Server to Desktop edition. It shows the error that packages can not be found. What are we doing wrong? The Wi-Fi is connected and ping is working.

Also, when I try to install “ubuntu-gnome-desktop” on the Ubuntu server. It also say package not found.

By the way, I tried to flash the Ubuntu Desktop pre-build image using Qualcomm Launcher. It also failed by saying directory not found.

Thanks.

The Ubuntu version from the factory is relatively early; we recommend reflashing the latest release.

Please refer to the following link and use QDL to flash.

Hello I have flashed the ubuntu server OS, onto the Rubik pi 3 and need the camera‑enabled Ubuntu 24.04 BSP that includes the CamX XML configuration bundle (camera_config.xml, sensor_module_cam*.xml, ISP tuning files, etc.).

The Canonical Ubuntu and Qualcomm Linux images available in Qualcomm Launcher do not contain the camera stack, so the IMX708 and IMX335 sensors cannot enumerate.

Could you please provide the download link for the Rubik Pi 3 Ubuntu Camera BSP?

Thank you,
Fabian
