Ubuntu 22.04 image including build-essentials, gcc, Python and nano editor

For those interested I made a Ubuntu 22.04 image for the Milk-V duo 256m and Milk-V duo S (512m). The same image works on both.
I installed build-essentials meaning gcc and tools for compiling using gcc. I tested the build on the “nano” editor. The nano editor is included in the image as an alternative to vi.
The image is found at:

As usual: Everything is done at one’s own risk. The image is best flashed to a 64GiB SD memory. To use a smaller SD requires re-sizing of the root partition.

This is very cool. Do you have a build environment set up on the Duo–that is, gcc, etc.?

I don’t really care how fast it is to compile something.

It includes gcc. The gcc build environment is tested through compiling the Nano editor using gcc which worked flawlessly. Installation of further tools using apt works when a riscv version is available. There are many tools/applications that haven’t been ported yet.
