Make sure you use a good, reliable, and fast SD card. For example, suppose you encounter boot or stability troubles. Most of the time, this is due to either an insufficient power supply or related to your SD card (bad card, bad card reader, something went wrong when burning the image, or the card is too slow).
Download the Ubuntu image for your specific board from the latest release on GitHub. Then write the xz compressed image to your SD card using balenaEtcher since, unlike other tools, it can validate burning results, saving you from corrupted SD card contents.
For additional information about a specific device, please take a look at the documentation available on the Wiki over at joshua-riek/ubuntu-rockchip.
Insert your SD card into the slot on the board and power on the device. The first boot may take up to two minutes, so please be patient. You must connect through HDMI and follow the setup-wizard.
