Ubuntu core on BBB

[Luther Goh Lu Feng]

Got it, Jamie. I will start conversations with element14 and beagleboard.


Mark mentioned "Rpi2/3 and Qualcomm Dragonboard are already certified". 


Is getting "certified" == "having Ubuntu Core as an official option"?

In the grand scheme of things should element14 or beagleboard 
- get BBB to become an official reference platform produced by the snappy team ?
- or roll their own build of Ubuntu Core?

Thanks for the clarifications.

mvo is Michael Vogt, ogra is Oliver Grawert, both of which are on the Snappy team at Canonical.

For clarification, we have a number of official reference platforms produced by the Snappy team, they are:

* Raspberry Pi2/3
* Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c
* x86 32/64

The Beaglbone black support is what we call a ‘community build’, done by enthusiasts but not part of the official list. We very much encourage people to create community builds for their favourite boards and this is what ogra and mvo have done.

I have contacts in element14 that I can reach out to but would like to understand the context and status of the gadget snap published by mvo.

I think you should talk to element14 about having Ubuntu Core as an official option or directly with Beagleboard themselves. Beagleboard have a forum where you could start the conversation or contact information on - https://beagleboard.org/about.

Jamie.

I am also curious why ogra published his own gadget snap instead of using the "official looking" beagleblack snap (see screenshot). Thanks
