We have tested Ubuntu 22.04 on the BFN1 System.
To install Ubuntu 22.04.x follow these steps:
Step 1
Go to
https://ubuntu.com/download/server and download the Ubutnu Server LTS
Step 2
Use Rufus to image the downloaded ISO onto a USB stick.
Step 3
Use DiskGenius or any other software to explore the imaged USB and go under /boot/grub folders.
Step 4
In this step, you have to edit the grub.cfg and need to add serial console options and remove the quiet option in the menuentry of
"Install Ubuntu Server"
Code: Select all
menuentry "Install Ubuntu Server" {
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed vga=normal console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 ---
initrd /casper/initrd

Please note that UBUNTU 22.04.x recommends 25GB hard disk capacity. A bigger mSATA in size will be better for logs and additional applications.
