Thanks. I saw those when I searched. I am just not sure what I am looking at there. I am accustomed to repositories for updates. If you could is there a primer for how to use those.

On the BeagleV-Fire, hold the ā€œuserā€ button, and plug in USB type C into your PCā€¦ Lift off User button, and flash drive should appearā€¦

Then use etcher/rpi-imager and flash write the sdcard.img.xz to the boardā€¦

You know what could be really cool?

What if you could just drag-n-drop the image file onto it, like you do on a RPi Picoā€¦

@Vauban, how does that sound to you?

Thanks. Will give that a whirl. Does that then upgrade the whole thing.?

Itā€™ll flash 24.04 and a newer FPGA gateware.

Then you can just do apt/update/upgrades as long as 24.04 existsā€¦

Perfect. Truly appreciated.

okā€¦ clearly there is a non-standard dist here do-release-upgrade says no candidates. i hate to be obtuse but I dont have any other options. riscv is new to me

Ubuntuā€™s upgrade path for Lunar 23.04 (first riscv build) was to 24.10 (Mantic) which is also eolā€¦

The time to run do-release-upgrade was last yearā€¦

Why did we choose Lunar as the default a few years agoā€¦ It was the ā€œfirstā€ and still only ā€˜stableā€™ riscv release?

Debian 13 (trixie) will be released this upcoming summerā€¦

Today, we are shipping 24.04 Noble which is an LTS release so the distro packages wonā€™t disappear as fast.

That is fine. Thanks. I am going to settle into to learning what I am doing and not concern myself with things that donā€™t really matter.
