Ayufan releases - Ubuntu and Debian

Forum thread concerning these releases can be found here

A number of release versions are available based on either Ubuntu or Debian. In addition releases are available that are stable (based on a 4.4 kernel which has all the RockChip patches in it) or pre-releases (based on the latest linux kernel). An overview of the philosophy is on this GitHub page.

Clicking through on any chosen release header (or expanding the "assets" section under the Changelog) will provide options to download many images suitable for the ROCKPro64 as well as others suitable for other devices such as the Rock64 and PinebookPro - please read the download filenames carefully to choose precisely the image you desire.
