Orbbec Persee to install Ubuntu

Technical Support & Q&A
1

Hi,

I Purchased above and it came with Android and I want to install Ubuntu on it instead of Android. Please advice how to go about it.

  • get a windows machine
  • download ubuntu from the download thread (Persee-ubuntu-14.04-stable-v001.zip)
  • install driverassistant (DriverAssitant_v4.3)
  • start androidtool (AndroidTool_Release_v2.3)
  • click ā€˜upgrade firmwareā€™
  • below click ā€˜firmwareā€™ and select the img, loading the image can take some time
  • using a small pin hold down the reset button of the persee (you hear a clicking noise when the button is pressed) while connecting it to the computer, androidtool should read ā€˜found one LOADER deviceā€™ instead of ā€˜found one ADB deviceā€™.
  • click ā€˜upgradeā€™

Hi, Iā€™m a complete n00b with orbbec3d and also in the forum here, having some issues getting started. Iā€™m looking for a way to flash my Persee with Ubuntu 16 as well. Where can I find this ā€œdownload threadā€?

Hi Johan,

Thanks for response to my question. Please provide direction on where can I get the Software updater?
I need to install AWS IoT Greengrass Core which requires some Ubuntuā€™s kernel configuration changes first.
