[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Embedded] Installing Ubuntu 18.04 arm64v8 on Raspberry Pi 3

[ruffsl]

Would anyone else like to see a arm64v8 image of Ubuntu 18.04 image for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B? I gave a good stab at it Sunday afternoon, but got a little lost in the weeds given its been awhile since I made a 14.04 image for my old Raspberry Pi 1, and trying to catch up with the changes of things.

I have a majority of a one-line install image build script, but just can't get over irregularities with ubuntu's server install scripts and patching grub bootloader. My hacked together script thus far:
https://github.com/ruffsl/raspberrypi_bootstrap/tree/master/raspi3/ubuntu/18.04/arm64

My goal was to make a Ubuntu image I could use to test the arm64 ROS2 Boncy binaries on, and do some profiling and testing on; as I didn't feel like building or cross compiling ROS2 myself. But this has sort of turned into a deeper rabbit hole. Figured I'd share my stalled progress with the embedded folks here, or find out if anyone else already has a working image.
