in the OS installation page, i can see Fedora image download for Pioneer, does Pioneer support other OS like Ubuntu? if so, need specific image version?

There are efforts underway to port some other OSes, as reported on Crowd Supply. You could try one of the links there.
I wrote up some docs on how to do a quick and dirty Debian install using the stock Fedora as a base. See here:

Happy hacking,

I’m adding support for Arch POWER and it shapes up well.

I was able to get Arch Linux running on my board using the root filesystem from here:
https://archriscv.felixc.at/
I’m currently using the Fedora kernel and kernel modules from the official image and simply had to modify the fstab and extlinux files appropriately to point to the new rootfs.
Seems to be working great so far.

Can you post your extlinux contents for reference?
