Alex (anubis) posted on our forum that he built minimal Ubuntu image for A13-OLinuXino and hosted it on Gdrive
Features:
- USB-Ethernet drivers in kernel
- VGA, LCD support
- main console on VGA
- dmesg console on UART1
- DHCP on eth0 auto
- ssh server running (just ‘arp -a’ from your host to detect A13’s IP and ssh it to connect)
- UVC camera support in kernel
- ready to install x-window-system
- .config is included (with uImage) to simplify kernel rebuild
- /tmp as 16M tmpfs
- Login/pass: root/password
based on:
- Kernel – https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi.git (branch ‘sunxi-3.4’)
- Rootfs – http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-core-12.04.2-core-armhf.tar.gz
Thanks Alex!

Very nice, thanks! Any news on A10S image/board? I have (another) A10S board but have had problems finding a Linux image for it.

another A10S board? which?

An Android TV stick that was marketed as A10 but really was A10S-based.

Well, how do I handle this .img file?

hey there, thanks for your efforts !
unfortunately, we can’t login after installing. “password” is not accepted as password for root – any ideas on what could have gone wrong ?
what we see: “localhost.localdomain login:”
any help would be greatly appreciated 😉

I’ve burned the image on a 8GB microSD card, put it into the slot and turn on the device but nothing happens (the device had the red led on). I waiting 5min and nothing happens.
Please, what can I do to make this Ubuntu image run? There’s something to do on the hardware before turn on an image from the microSD?

It works on allwinner a13 7” mid tablet.

Hello Renzo,
it is required to root or unlock bootloader of the mid tablet? Or tablet simply boot from inserted sd card?

Burn the second on the list image on SD card, and put it into the tablet.

Cool stuffs,
Work on my AllWinners A13 7″ Tablet too but I can’t manage to rebuild the kernel to update modules even though I start up with an exact copy of the included .config file.
