Orbbec Persee to install Ubuntu

[johanromuald]

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 'upgrade firmware'
• below click 'firmware' 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 'found one LOADER device' instead of 'found one ADB device'.
• click 'upgrade'

How did you manage the upgrade from Ubuntu 14 to 16?

Hi, I'm a complete n00b with orbbec3d and also in the forum here, having some issues getting started. I'm looking for a way to flash my Persee with Ubuntu 16 as well. Where can I find this "download thread"?

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 Ubuntu's kernel configuration changes first.

Regards,

Heng
