Greetings all, I'm a brand newbie to the Rock64, after purchasing one from an Ebay vendor. I have some exxperience with the Raspberry Pi, as well as some Ubuntu experience on one of my laptops. I therefore wanted to try Ubuntu 18.04 OS. but I'm having trouble understanding how to get it on an SD. I read the instructions, which sound very similar to the Raspberry Pi way of doing it, IE: downloading image, placing the image file on the microsd card via Win32 Imager (Using Win10 laptop) plug it in and go.
The Win32 Imager is looking for a .img file. What was downloaded from the github site was a .img.tar file. Not being sure how to deal with that, I unzipped the .tar and lo and behold there were 7 different images in the tar. Can someone please explain to me how to deal with this? Thanks.
