A community project that builds and maintains Ubuntu images for Rockchip RK35xx-based single board computers like the Orange Pi 5, Radxa ROCK 5, and NanoPi R6 series. It provides stable, apt-updatable Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS desktop and server images with working GPU acceleration, Wayland GNOME, and hardware video playback.
Use cases
- install Ubuntu on an Orange Pi 5 or Radxa ROCK 5B
- run a desktop Linux environment on an RK3588 single board computer
- set up a home server on a Rockchip SBC with apt updates
- get working 3D acceleration and 4K video playback on RK3588
- flash a prebuilt Ubuntu image to an SD card for a NanoPi or ArmSoM board
- use Ubuntu Server with SSH on a headless Rockchip board
When to choose
- you own a supported Rockchip RK3566/RK3576/RK3588 board and want a mainstream Ubuntu experience
- you want regular updates via apt instead of vendor-specific image rebuilds
- you need a desktop with GPU acceleration or smooth 4K video on an SBC
- you want a stable community-maintained alternative to vendor Android or Debian images
When to avoid
- your board is not on the supported devices list
- you need a different distribution such as Debian, Fedora, or Armbian
- you require mainline kernel support or features outside the Rockchip 5.10/6.1 vendor kernels
- you need real-time or certified Ubuntu Core images
