Ubuntu Core on SystemReady

Ubuntu Core is a secure, application-centric operating system optimised for embedded devices. Aiming to further the deployment of Arm-based solutions, we worked on Ubuntu Core images running on SystemReady-certified arm64 systems.

Arm System Ready is a compliance certification program based on hardware and firmware requirements. With certified systems, developers can be confident the operating system and subsequent software layers just work.

We faced several technical challenges in producing working images on SystemReady hardware. In this talk, we will delve into SystemReady and the necessary changes in the boot process of Ubuntu Core to get it running on SystemReady devices.
