I'm trying to build a custom Ubuntu Core image for my Raspberry Pi 3 (with preinstalled snaps) and I know that this is not yet supported.

I thought I could try the ubuntu-device-flash tool anyways (I found this and this, and the pi3 oem snap).

The second page suggests installing ubuntu-device-flash as a snap, using

$ sudo snap install --channel=edge --devmode ubuntu-device-flash

but on my Ubuntu 16.04 server this gives me

error: cannot install "ubuntu-device-flash": snap not found

Am I missing something?

Sorry that you found some now outdated reference: ubuntu-device-flash is deprecated in favor of ubuntu-image. You can find its code on launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/ubuntu-image/+git/ubuntu-image/+ref/master (there is as well a package for yakkety).

No official documentation is available yet (it's a question of days, I'm told and will be published on http://snapcraft.io). Meanwhile, you can play with it and use --help to check the syntax.

  • Thanks, I also saw this thread which gives some explanation, but I couldn't find a pi3 model assertion -- I'll just wait for the release then
