Updated Ubuntu 24.04.2 Developer Image - ubuntu-24.04.2-picocalc/README.md at main · markbirss/ubuntu-24.04.2-picocalc · GitHub

or use the smaller

But a download for Ubuntu OS is avaible - GitHub - markbirss/ubuntu_22.04.5_lts_picocalc: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS for PicoCalc with Luckfox Lyra Core

I have been following the developments made already. but am working toward specific support ruuning Meshtastic on the PicoCalc (Luckfox Lyra Powered) with Ubuntu OS

Only received the PicoCalc this week

The display driver will run MUI in framwbuffer mode but needs input (mouse) not just keyboard at the moment - driver work by hisptoot - Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc

Good to hear, the Ubuntu OS image is for general use. I have had to make specific changes to device tree for Meshtastic which are in the boot.img.
At least the Ubuntu OS image allows more flexibility as you can run can install programs.

I have not included the wifi drivers but you could get them from the buildroot image and just insmod them for now

I rely on “internet connection” sharing over USB myself for my use at the moment

I have updated the github page to include some more details around the pins mapping usage and config.yaml required for wio-ex1262 or sx1262
