Thanks for the reply.
After burning IMG files for USB and EMMC successfully,but neither can boot into the desktop.
Probably the origin IMG files are broken(e.g. the latest debian13 /ubuntu24.04)
Please help to check and fix the IMG files.

I successfully flash Ubuntu 24.04_0926 img into my Cool-pi via MacBook, but when I press the power button of cool-pi, it entered into dark , I cannot access the ubuntu desktop.

Help, please !

@george I'm really looking forward to seeing you compose an official and detailed guide for installing Ubuntu 24.04 via USB2.0

@reallaowu CM5 laptop currently only supports USB 2.0

@reallaowu
Yes, thank you, I did that.

@george
I bought a new USB2.0 stick, my laptop entered into 24.04 after restarting, however I couldn’t find my previous downloaded img file in the harddrive , even the harddrive is mounted .
What should I do next step? Where can I find the Img file and copy it to the usb?

@reallaowu
Had you installed it successfully? You’re highly appreciated if you could share your detailed steps.

@george

@george Could it be possible to offer a detailed step-by-step user manual for installing a Linux system through a USB stick without the need to connect to additional x86 computers or laptops?
