Flashing Ubuntu on NVME m.2 or SATA drive

Preparing a bootable micro SD

Download a pre-built snapshot image from https://images.solid-run.com/LX2k/lx2160a_build

Those images are built with the suffix of the commit ID of the https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build  project that you can clone and build by yourself.

You can build your own image using the script in here – https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build
