Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 LTS image for Tungsten700 SMARC board Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 LTS Weston/Wayland Compositor Boundary Devices is proud to release our new Ubuntu Jammy image for our Tungsten700 SMARC board! This image uses Weston which is the reference Wayland compositor. This image boots up the Weston compositor at start. This can be changed by disabling the service autostart, as described later in this post. This system contains MediaTek licensed content, so you will need to register on our website and log in before you can accept the license agreement and download the Ubuntu Jammy images for Tungsten700 SMARC from here: 20240111-tungsten700-v23.1-jammy-en_US-console-weston_aarch64.fastboot.zip sha1sum: a871734239682671e3db23e248fff56196c31c89 Programming the image The downloaded .zip archive includes all the files to be flashed using fastboot. You can extract it in the following way: ~$ cd && unzip 20240111-tungsten700-v23.1-jammy-en_US-console-weston_aarch64.zip && cd flash-images First you need to enter fastboot mode from U-Boot prompt on the Tungsten700 SMARC board: => fastboot 0 If you are unable to get into fastboot mode from U-Boot, you can follow this blog to recover your Tungsten700 SMARC. The next step is flash bl2.img to mmc0boot0 partition. Type this on your Linux PC: ~/flash-images$ fastboot flash mmc0boot0 bl2.img Then flash the wic.img to mmc0 partition: ~/flash-images$ fastboot flash mmc0 20240111-tungsten700-v23.1-jammy-en_US-console-weston_aarch64.rootfs.wic.img Usernames and passwords We predefined two users for use on the system: ubuntu and root. The password for each is Boundary (capital B). The user ubuntu has administrator rights, but you don’t need to enter password at sudo command. We wanted to make your life easier at the cost of some security, but if you want to change that please type: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo visudo Then comment out or delete the last line with “ubuntu” and “NOPASSWD:” An ssh server is running on the system, though it does not allow password-based authentication for user root. User ubuntu has sudo privileges, so you can place your ssh public key (normally $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the system like so : ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo mkdir /root/.ssh ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo nano /root/.ssh/authorized_keys ... paste content of $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub here ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo chmod 600 /root/.ssh/auth* ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo chmod 600 /root/.ssh/ What’s Supported? Since the images above include our stable 5.15.x kernel, essentially everything is supported, including: Mali G-57 GPU accelerations for Wayland The Video Processing Unit supports the following decoders: video/x-h265 video/x-vp9 video/x-h264 video/x-vp8 video/mpeg image/jpeg (for mjpeg) video/x-raw Sona MT320 WiFi/BT module All kind of storage devices , eMMC, SATA hdd (via USB3-SATA adapter), USB3.0/2.0 pen drives, mini PCIe devices, cell modems All of our supported touch panels The packaging (including kernel) is done in the normal ubuntu way, so apt-get update/dist-upgrade will keep your image up and running as the latest as patches come out. What are the main components in this release? The Linux kernel is 5.15.42 ( meta-package name: linux-boundary-23j1 ). GPU driver is mali-gpu-driver 43p0.genio23.1.2. The distribution is Ubuntu Jammy 22.04.3 LTS .

If you don’t want to start Weston at boot automatically, you have to disable the service, you have to type the following: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo systemctl disable weston.service ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo systemctl mask weston.service If you want to enable the autostart again you need to type: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo systemctl unmask weston.service ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ sudo systemctl enable weston.service You can find the weston.ini file in the /home/ubuntu/weston directory. Please type: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ man weston.ini Check the options and feel free to modify it to suit your needs. If you disabled Weston Service, you’ll boot to the Bash Shell. Still you can start Weston manually anytime with the following command: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ wl … where the wl alias is defined as follows: ubuntu@jammy-g700-v23.1:~$ alias | grep wl alias wl='if [ "x$(ps h -C weston)" != "x" ] ; then echo "weston is already running."; else sudo rm -f /run/seatd.sock && seatd-launch -- weston --log=${HOME}/weston/weston.log --config=${HOME}/weston/weston.ini; fi ' You can run weston from the virtual terminal or an SSH terminal as well. The weston-launch command was deprecated and removed, you can use seatd-launch instead. Weston keyboard bindings The Weston desktop shell has a number of keyboard shortcuts. They are listed here. Almost all keyboard shortcuts for Weston include a specified modifier mod key which is determined in the file weston.ini (5): [shell] binding-modifier={none | ctrl | alt | super} The mod key is the same as the super key by default. The super key is in between ‹Left Ctrl› and ‹Left Alt›, usually a ‹Windows› key. mod + Shift + F Make active window fullscreen mod + K Kill active window mod + Shift + M Maximize active window mod + PageUp, mod + PageDown Zoom desktop in (or out) mod + Tab Switch active window mod + Up, mod + Down Increment/decrement active workspace number, if there are multiple mod + Shift + Up, mod + Shift + Down Move active window to the succeeding/preceding workspace, if possible mod + F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6 Jump to the numbered workspace, if it exists Ctrl + Alt + Backspace If supported, terminate Weston. (Note this combination often is used to hard restart Xorg.) Ctrl + Alt + F Toggle if Weston is fullscreen; only works when nested under a Wayland compositor Ctrl + Alt + S Share output screen, if possible Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6/F7/F8 Switch virtual terminal, if possible super + S Make a screenshot of the desktop super + R Start or stop recording video of the desktop Weston touch / mouse bindings There are also a number of bindings involving a mouse: ‹Touch›, ‹Left button›, ‹Right button› Activate clicked window super + Alt + ‹Vertical scroll› Change the opacity of a window mod + ‹Vertical scroll› Zoom/magnify the visible desktop mod + ‹Left button› Click and drag to move a window mod + Shift + ‹Left button›, mod + ‹Right button›, mod + ‹Touch› Click and drag to resize a window mod + ‹Middle button› Rotate the window (if supported)
